Grand Pas Classique pas de deux Bolshoi Stars Valery Kovtun Tatiana Tayakina 

Браво!!! Прекрасно! Я видела ОЧЕНЬ много раз это па-де-де, ОЧЕНЬ многих замечательных исполнителей, но никогда не видела, чтобы танцовщик ТАК подбрасывал балерину! Просто виртуозно! И очень красиво!

Браво! Татьяна - филигранна!

Beautiful effortless partnering and I loved Tayakina's coldness here. In fact, I would hate if she smiled in this pas. There is Flower Festival PDD and it reveals her playful side.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Hermoso!

Tatiana and Valery never worked for the Bolshoi, they used to be the soloists of the Kiev Shevchenko State Theatre of Opera and Ballet. But, all the same, they were superb.

Wow, they're really good! And I love the coda

A smile now & then wouldn't kill you. No, it's more than that.... Where's the JOY, miss? You look like an automaton! Every single breath is perfect and you look like your face will crack if you show joy!

they worked all their dancer' s carrier in Kyiv (Ukraine) not in Moscow

Oh, i know her. She's a director of Kiev choreographic school now. And now she's even thinner than on this video...

Who is here in 2021

i love watching Russian dancers do this pas de deux, but someone is having a joke about the backdrop. the other dancers I have seen doing this pas de deux are dressed in white, with a light backdrop and a light coloured stage. Here she is wearing a blue dress and they put it against a blue backdrop :(. Think I may just have to invest in a new monitor

I like her technique and her balance ,, but I don't really like her arms,. But overall ,, she's great !

Wow what year?

who's choreography is this?

Le début est assez imprécis, mais cela s'améliore très vite. Tatiana Tayakina est souvent brillante, mais manque de charisme. Valery Kovtun est magnifique de proportion et de maintien. On est surpris -comme cela arrive trop souvent- du peu de soin apporté au port de bras; sans lui, sans un beau port de tête, la plus brillante technique n'est que de la mécanique, et pas de l'art.

Somehow I don't like her rendition. I got bored. Her technique is great but she doesn't seem to connect much with the audience. It felt more like she was just marking the dance, or rehearsing it, not performing it.

Holiday on ice:) vraiment le style Russe est affreux:( so cheesyyyyyy

I've seen some poor Grand Pas Classique Pas de Deux in my time but this is easily the worst performance ever!. No coordination., no balance, no synchronization. Just so painful to watch! It's hard to believe these two dancers are "Bolshoi Stars". Check out the performances of Magri and Bracewell, and Nunez and Bracewell. Now, THAT's synchronization!
