Alina is an excellent ballerina, she is not only a dancer, she is an artist. In her performance, she showed the emotion and charm of the characters, and promoted the development and climax of the plot.
Mesmerizing performance, solid technique, elegant and fluid movements , great artistry and musicality. That is the expected and proved prima ballerina of Mariinsky Theatre - Alina Somova.
As always I love Somova’s artistry. She’s the only one I would be willing to forgive her technical issues for her art. Always she takes her time to contemplate the movements. She lets her arms and hands flow with the movements of the rest of the body freely like a ribbon instead of emphasizing on doing something with them. Nothing is usually rushed in her dance.
Such an exquisite and graceful Aurora! The vision scene is one of my favourite parts of the ballet and Alina Somova here certainly is the encapsulation of a dream! Bellissima!!!
She's so good here. I'm very happy to see she's grown so much! Right now she is at both her physical and artistic peak, this exemplifies her skills in acting especially. I used to not like Alina, but now she's very charming. Good work!
Ottima la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina e la levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente unita ad una riconduzione dei passi all'euritmia melodica come se avesse immiata l'euritmia melodica. Ottimi i tourbillon di giravolte da capogiro su di un solo appoggio di punta.Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dalla protagonista.Superlativa. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Perhaps it's just me, but Alina seems to have built up more muscle on her thighs? I think her legs look better now; I used to think that they looked very long and thin and hyper-extended, but weak. But now they look more toned and balanced. Anyway, a very pretty performance!
