''By Dominique Jando''

Ukrainian-born Andrey (Andrei) Ivakhnenko received his circus training at the [[Kiev Circus School|State Circus and Variety College of Kiev]], then part of the Soviet Union, where he graduated as a juggler on slack wire in 1989. Upon graduation, he was hired by [[SoyuzGosTsirk]], the Soviet central circus agency, and toured with them in the many circuses of the former USSR, and in Eastern Europe.

It was however a time of important changes in Russia, and in 1994, Andrey decided to further his training with the very influential act director [[Valentin Gneushev]] at his studio in [[Circus Nikulin]]—Moscow’s legendary “Circus on Tvetnoy Boulevard”. In January 1995, Gneushev presented Ivakhnenko’s new act at the [[Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain]] in Paris, where it was the sensation of that edition of the Festival. Ivakhnenko’s groundbreaking presentation and remarkable technique won him a Bronze Medal, and this was the beginning of a brilliant international career.

Since 1995, Andrey Ivakhnenko has been featured in some of Europe’s most prestigious "varieté" theaters and circuses, including TigerPalatz in Frankfurt, WinterGarten in Berlin, GOP Varieté theaters in Germany, [[Circus Roncalli]], and the [[Cirque d’Hiver]]-[[Bouglione]] in Paris. He works principally in varieté theaters in Germany, where he now resides. He is married to the hula-hoop performer and fellow Gneushev's student, [[Natalia Leontieva]].
