Ottimo.il mantenimento delle pose figurali alcune delle quali inedite ed estremamente accattivanti nell'ensemble. Ottimo quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottima impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di entrambi. Ottima levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente in questa ballerina che riconduce i passi a musica come se avesse immiata l'euritmia melodica. Ottimo e direi imperativo l'occupazione dello spazio proscenico da parte del ballerino a salti e frequentissime sforbiciate volanti .Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante.Superlativi BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO 😊😊😊😊
I thought she would be future Mariinsky star... turns out she will be soon Bolshoi's star ballerina. He is already star at Mikhailovsky. A truly talented pair. I love her refined, queen-like style!
That was Gorgeous, in the first dance there were a couple of balancing issues and Slight mess ups, I almost felt as if the two dancers didn't have a Strong Connection. But no dancer is perfect, and these two truly are VERY gifted!
6.41-7.14 ahhhh.... my standing legs 🦵 calf muscles burn from watching this... she only gets down to demi pointe, not on the whole foot!! She is so incredibly strong.
Bits of oops moment here and there but they were awesome! Love the both of them but kinda sad they're not in Mariinsky. Maybe that's better though. Anyway, is this Lebedev's graduation?
O.k, so they’re very inexperienced but , they have time to grow and improve. It’s a very hard piece to do. I’d like to see them do it in a few years. For now, good job, good try, good experience for them. Wishing them well for their futures 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Lebedev is such a great partner. Here he helps with a moment of imbalance, on another video he paddles the ballerina for her last turn as she slowed down too early!! Greatness!! This GPC was fun to watch; usually it is dry, dry, dry, but there two have an extra spark!
+Stephanie Cruvant without any intent to offend. Maybe we are not watching the same video. He sucks...bigtime. He was the one getting her off balance. She was never centered, at all. She pulled it off because she is great but with other ballerina, it might have been worse. If that was me, I would have been furious... making her look bad.
Yannie Lee valmarie ramos Thanks, you both make good points. I am not a dancer & therefore lack the experience to really "see". I will watch again and learn; this is a process. Thanks!
I agree with Stephanie Cruvant. I highly doubt that you could even complete the Grand Pas Classique, let alone partner in it. If you could complete it with her technique and artistry, you wouldn't be on here making comments. Perhaps you could give us some links to your GPC so we can judge for ourselves.
She looks hard to partner. She is really hyper-extended in the knees and looks like she needs a lot of help with her turns. It is really up to her to pull up and not sit on her knees. He did a great job!
He doesn't really work well with Smirnova. He might be great with other dancers like Nina Kapstova, and Zakharova, but just not with Olga. The choreography for her personality during her variation was also very odd, and didn't fit with her very well. In my opinion.
resta chiusa nella tua bolla allora... come fai a dire una cosa simile??! ma almeno ti intendi di danza? il mondo è pieno di ballerini eccezionali.. ce ne sono per tutti i gusti.. detto ciò la zakharova a me personalmente non fa impazzire, avrà anche linee superbe, ma per interpretazione e tecnica ci sono veramente moltissime altre migliori
He is a horrible partner, often he stands too far away from his partner and pulls her off center of gravity. He is a decent dancer when dancing solo, but he tends to flop his writs around like a fairy, so distracting to watch sometimes. This PDD overall is just messy, two individual talented dancers can't make the dance beautiful. Recently I have seem many young Russian ballerinas turn ballet into a circus act with their knees up to the ear, whack whack without any artistry or understanding of the role they are performing..
I think it's fair to say that though both dancers have clear potential, artistry still has a long way to go. Also please consider the fact this dancers are on their 7th or final year at the academy so they're still quite young. But I gotta agree, young Lebedev seems stiff and off.
I will admit it was hard to notice at first, but those who say he made the mistakes was actually right... notice at 0:09 his heels go up, he loses his balance... and thus she goes off-balance as well. It would have been worse if he crashed, otherwise both would have gone down... but I think this was just unfortunately a bad performance, it is not hard to find other performances where both are better, together (Vaganova Nutcracker) and with other partners.
I don't know, that's just how I felt after watching it...disappointed after hearing so much about her. I'm not saying she isn't good, amazing even, just that I didn't enjoy her dancing as much as I was expecting to. Personal opinion :)
Sloppy and rushed, but she is none the less beautiful. Wonderful extension and I like the way she holds her upper body. Now only if it wasn't so messy...
Zhiganshina and Smirnovoa can't be compared. One is tiny the other extremley tall. One already dancing principal roles with one of the worlds greatest companies and the other still hast two years of training remaining. How this can be classed as a dissapointment I will never know. I would challenge you to search the world over and find other 18 year olds who can dance at this level. Sorry but in this case just saying she dosent dance her heart out or listen to the music? very odd.
amazing extension but a bit of a disappointment overall...the dancing isn't connected to the music and it jst looks like a set of technique, little emotion and wobbly balances... I totally prefer dancers like Ksenia Zhiganshina who don't have her crazy extension or hyper extended feet but who dance their heart out and listen to the music.
Lebedev is an amazing partner but she didn't spot her head which is why he didn't know when she wanted to stop turning. They make an absolutely beautiful pair
The "band" (we couldn't call "that" an orchestra) was off pitch lacked the syncopation as Auber wrote it and was out of tune in the bronzes. Poor dancers they deserved something better.
Неплохо, не всегда в музыку, были сбои и ошибки, мальчик слабоват,Смирнова технически более или менее выполнила. Это па _де де труднейшее, эталон это Александрова и Цискаридзе. Этой паре можно поставить четвёрку с натяжкой.
