Footage shows the dancer being locked in a holding cell for the hearing, as the BBC's Daniel Sandford reports from the Moscow court
A Bolshoi Ballet dancer accused over an attack on artistic director Sergei Filin has told a court he did not mean for him to be splashed with acid.
Soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko is accused of masterminding the attack. He appeared in court with two other men accused of helping carry it out.
Police say the three have confessed. They were denied bail at the hearing.
Mr Filin's eyesight was badly damaged when a masked attacker threw sulphuric acid in his face in January in Moscow.
After a series of operations on his eyes, the 42-year-old has been moved to Germany, where doctors have expressed hope that further treatment may be able to restore good vision.
The attack opened a window into bitter infighting and rivalries inside the Bolshoi theatre, correspondents say.
Mr Dmitrichenko was detained on Tuesday.
On Thursday he told the Moscow court that he had complained about Mr Filin to an acquaintance who offered to "beat him up", the Associated Press news agency reports.

"It's not true that I ordered him to throw acid at Filin," Mr Dmitrichenko is quoted as saying.
The two other suspects are Yuri Zarutsky, who is suspected of carrying out the assault, and Andrei Lipatov accused of driving a getaway vehicle.
The court ruled that they would remain in custody pending a trial.
Mr Dmitrichenko, 29, has been with the Bolshoi Ballet since 2002. He is a leading soloist, one level down from the very senior male dancers known as premiers.
He has been performing the lead role in Sergei Prokofiev's Ivan The Terrible.
The attack spurred a round of vicious recriminations among some of the leading lights of the theatre.
Suspicions were cast on dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze, who was accused by Bolshoi manager Anatoly Iksanov of inspiring the attack, if not being behind it.
Mr Tsiskaridze was questioned, but denied any involvement and has not been charged.
