@@photographedemode They are. You can tell from the shape of the shoe. She's been wearing Gaynors since 2006.

The music is by Daniel-François-Esprit Auber.

imho it depends a lot on the dancer, there are many russians who are very musical, Tereshkina would the best example I think. Also, the Russians seem to have a different musical feeling than, say, Americans. It's very visible when dancers who'd previously trained somewhere else join a Russian school. What makes them stick out the most is usually not their technique but a different musicality (not necessarilly bad musicality). What I'm trying to say is that the Russians may just dance differently than how you personally "feel the music" or what you are simply accustomed to. Maybe I am wrong, but for me personally it's natural to move to music the Russian way and would feel odd to me to do it as the French do… which makes me think it's really more a matter of taste.
