This week, Dance Australia welcomes esteemed Australian ballet dancer Daniel Gaudiello as our guest curator for Music of the Week. A former Principal Artist with The Australian Ballet, where he danced from 2004 until 2016, Gaudiello's distinguished career also includes guest appearances with the English National Ballet and the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Now working as a freelance dancer and teacher, we're thrilled to have his insights and musical selections gracing our playlist.
"I've put together this playlist to celebrate the beautiful memories of my career: some made me laugh, some brought me to tears, and some caused me pain. Looking back, my career was all about the music, where movement combined with beautiful sound moved both myself and the audience. This is what it means to be an artist, to be a ballet dancer."
