Could Kiril Kulish Be A New Dancer On The Troupe Of Dancing With The Stars Season 22?
You might have noticed there is a new dancer in the latest Dancing With The Stars promo. You can see a screen shot of him below courtesy of @ValenaFans. His name is Kiril Kulish. What a great get he would be. As well as dancing (and Ballroom dancing at that!), he’s an actor and singer. He’s also won a Tony Award for “Best Lead Actor” in “Billy Elliot The Musical”. Note how his website says he has a big announcement in March. To read more about Kiril, see Wiki and his personal website. Thanks to Geri in comments for bringing this to our attention.
Well HELLO there Kiril…..
Exactly, Cath! lol
Was hoping he’d be given a shot. I think he’d lend a unique energy and talents to the show. He really stood out in the Kelly & Michael dance last week and I swear his name was on one of those costuming bins in (I think it was Antonio’s) photo.
Hmmm, Kiril definitely has the credentials, and is very *ahem* photogenic. If TPTB are smart and put him in Troupe for a year (2 seasons), I’d be happy to give him a try as a teaching pro.
My one concern is “The Fam”. I can see them doing everything possible to get their claws into him (because he’s of Ukranian descent). Heck, for all we know, he could already be a member of their clique. If he runs with that crowd, they’ll ruin him in no time.
He has a history in ballet as well as ballroom, so I’m all onboard with this.
It’s actually funny that you posted this today because I caught up with my friend over the weekend who was actually in Billy Elliot with Kiril (3 guys shared the role of Billy) and he told me that Kiril was “doing something DWTS related.” I hope this is true! I’ve met him a few times and he seemed nice.
Cutie. If he has the charisma on the dance floor then all I can say is “watch out Val. He might be the next DWTS golden boy”. Sorry, I just can’t resist 🙂
I’m too old to have a crush on these yummy looking dancers who are half my age right? Well at least that’s what I keep telling myself. 😉
No no… you are never too old to crush on them. 😉
Kiril just tweeted that his announcement in tomorrow.
I hope Paul Barris is also part of the troupe. Just love him! #fingerscrossed
Maybe one from Shannon/Dennis are also part of the troupe along with Kiril (as their names were also there on those boxes in Anotonio’s snapchat pic)? So Alan, Kiril & another male troupe dancer…
Wasn’t he jennas pro partner when she competed ? If its the same guy he was good 🙂
He sounds like a winner. Plus he has a Tony award and that’s pretty impressive since thats one award show where all the nominees really have a shot at winning.
He’s the amazing Tony Award winning Billy Elliot dancing and acting extraordinaire. I cannot wait to see him dance this season! Amazing. Blew me away in Billy Elliot and such an incredible ballroom dancer.
I’m actually watching DwtS this season only because Kiril is on! He was phenomenal in Billy Elliot, winning the Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical when he was only 14, commanding the stage for 3 hours. (Yes, he also sings and act.) Before that, he was already a world champion, for years, in both ballet and Latin ballroom. Then, after Billy, he reclaimed his US National Latin ballroom title. Cidra: His family immigrated from Ukraine, but he is American. I hope that DwtS will give him a solo — every week!
Um, Frizzle? We know.
Honestly, I don’t think we need another guy who is overly fond of the shirtless selfie. I’m over that and it takes more than a six pack to impress me.
Kiril is truly one of the best dancers around. He has confidence, style, mojo and a drop-dead smile. I wonder why he hasn’t set his sights higher than this
