He has performed around the world including Japan, Turkey, Canada, Germany and America in the principal lead roles of Giselle, Swan Lake, Paquita, Balanchine鈥檚 Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, Don Quixote. In addition he performed the Coppellia Pas de deux with the Kirov Ballet at the Winter Palace and was special guest star for the Fernando Bujones Gala in Miami.

Dmitri directed the Dmitri Roudnev Ballet School of Chicago for seven years before he and Mary Van Dyke Roudnev moved to Memphis. He is director of the Ballet Intensive from Moscow in Illinois and serves as director of the USA National Youth Ballet Competition sponsored by Russian Pointe held in Long Beach, CA and Washington DC.
