We've learned enough about dancing, but if you think about the experimental style, it's also acting skills.

​

And at the festival of experimental dance in Tallinn “OPEN YOUR MIND” one of the judges was the actor and step dancer Alexander Ivashkevich.

​

Alexander is founder and leader of Duff Tap Studio. He has participated in various international dance projects in the U.S., Finland, Germany, Russia, Estonia, Bulgaria. He has produced choreography for the Estonian production musical such as „Old Curiosity Shop“, „Chicago“, „Crazy for you“, „No, No, Nanette!“.

In 1995 – 2007, 2010 he organized, produced and directed annual show „Jazz & Tapp Show“ which is dedicated to International Tap Dance Day.
