Not only a gorgeous dancer, but also a multiple award winner, too (she won the prestigious Golden Mask award in 2007 and won the Moscow International Ballet competition in 2005). Obraztsova is one of THE most popular female ballet dancers in the Mariinsky troupe and it's likely she will become a Principal soloist within a few years.
It's music (and variation) from ballet "Fountain of Bakhchisarai", on youtube there is whole ballet added by ketinoa, there is also this variation danced by Elizavieta Cheprasova (to find it write: Мариинский балет.Чепрасова Елизавета and look for video with lenght 1.38)
She is very beautiful and she looks like she really loves what she is doing, not many people can say that... thanks for posting this video, otherwise I never would have seen this beautiful dancer
@222littledancer222 it is from 'The Fountain of Bakhchisaray' and I know this because I have watched this documentary many times and on the actual dvd it says and the teacher is Galina Kekisheva. I could even tell you what they're saying! :D
@russianballetvideo Fucking hell, I can't believe that Serafinov ditched Mariinsky for the Stanislavsky ballet, talk about trading your Rolls Royce in for a Skoda.
@kathrinasong Babe if you think she makes it effortless you should have seen ME when I was a principal ballerina assoluta with the Kirov before the collapse of Communism.
