"The Goddess Nike and her Sculptor", Hana Maria Aboian & Daniil Veselukhin's 2026 Junior Free Dance

2026 ISU Junior World Championships, Grand Prix Final Champions and U.S. Junior Ice Dance Champions Hana Maria Aboian and Daniil Veselukhin perform their full Free Dance titled "The Goddess Nike and her Sculptor" at Bank of America Winter Village in Bryant Park. "[Our coach] Denis got the vision for the program after last year’s JGP Ankara as he was looking at the Nike Statue on the family trip with Melissa and their kids after the competition. The story is that Nike is molded into shape by her sculptor and as he gazes at her, her heart starts beating. Once she comes to the life, they go on a journey and she brings him victory in battle. It is a story of transformation and the possibilities that art can create." Music: "Hymnus Orbis,” “Salvation For a Proud Nation” and “Surrender to Hope” by Trailerhead, composed by Yoav Goren Choreography by Denis Petukhov Hana and Daniil are coached by Melissa Gregory and Denis Petukhov, and represent Peninsular Skating Club and the Skating Club of New York.
