Absolutely agree about the background music being distracting. It's a particularly odd and emotionally inappropriate selection for a nice, casual informative interview with a great dancer. It's...massage or yoga class music! Less is more when it comes to scoring. Background music with photographic slide shows, not with interviews.

@divadeb88 We've made changes! Future videos have a whole lot less music. You'll no longer hear music throughout the conversation, only during the transition titles. Thanks for your feedback.

Really nice interview. I'm agree with the other people who think that the annoying background music is terrible, there was moments I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying.

Simkin gives a great interview, but that background music is goddam annoying. Can't filmmakers just let their subject speak? It's an interview, not a mood piece.

Such wise words!

This young man is a special dancer and his inteligence conquers the public.

There was a long time I didn`t hear anyone from dance field speaking so clearly about life and dacing career.. to be sincere since Barysnikov`s early days.

Congratulations Mr. Simkim. I wish you a lot of health and many years enchanting the whole world with your superb dancing. God bless you.

@DancePulp Have to agree about the music. It would have been much better to just have him speaking. But, other than that, great interview.
