“Dimensions, choreographed by Stanko Milov to a rhythmic score written by Milov with Peter Gabriel…
In one of the most visually arresting moves, the dancers' arms arced and lifted in throbbing motion like large birds fighting gravity to pull away from the earth.”

“Stanko Milov’s piece Edin is for them the surprise of the evening. It was like Underworld, the ballet. Kind of spooky and dark; electronic music; electric dancing… They all were awesome. I like how Stanko used the stage with the sole female all ominous in the corners while the three men dominated center stage.”

On March 22nd at the 2006 PNB Choreographers Showcase Stanko Milov's choreography entitled Heartfelt was comprised of three pas de deux created to tracks from his debut Piano Solos CD Heartfelt. In this work the choreographer's intention was to portray and convey emotion and feeling through dance using his own piano compositions as inspiration.

“Stanko Milov not only created the steps, designed the costumes and danced in Heartfelt, but he also wrote the music.
The ballet opened with Milov sitting at a grand piano composing, playing a phrase and scratching out notes.
Three duets followed, each of a muse in a flowing dress inspiring her partner.
The partnering was intense and intimate, soulful as much as sensual, with waltz-like turns and inventive holds and lifts.”

In 2004, Stanko Milov created Kodai (Ancient Times), featured and performed at the 2004 PNB Choreographers Showcase.
“The ballet was set to Mr. Milov's own minimalistic musical score. In addition to the choreography, Milov composed the minimalist score and designed the costumes, a rather striking ensemble evocative of samurai.
The work is divided into several sections and the dancers are deployed hierarchically. The movement is big and expansive overall.”
