At this level, those attitude turns have to be complete. Everything else is beautiful with a welcomed touch of villager character pose before the piques. Love that she wears her hair like Olga Spessivtzeva and later Carla FRACCI did. NOVIKOVA carries the music in her dancing. BRAVO!!!
And I always disliked the Russian take on the double pirouette en dehors y en dedant shifting legs. I much prefer the Western-(Markova/Alonso/Fracci)- double in one single leg.
