Yekaterina Kondaurova - Variation from Paquita 

This is a really lovely to watch. I will come back many times just to have a little dose of this ballet dopamine. I love real technique

Ottima e mirabile la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina. Ottima l'impressione di levità fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente unita a quella di facilita' esecutiva d'acchito. E'solo da immaginare il grande lavoro che sottende a questa impressione. OLTREMODO BRAVA.

Her performance of Swan Lake in Berkeley drew a full standing ovation and two curtain calls. I am not at all embarrassed to admit I rushed up to the orchestra pit to be just that much closer to her brilliance. She is stunning!

Абсолютно совершенный ,гармоничный, красивый танец , выше всяких похвал.

Such soft flowing movements. Very beautiful.

beautiful. a supremely difficult variation done with the ease and grace of a rare dancer.

I haven't watched this in a while. She is flawless here!!

0:46 = moment of eternity !!!! Thank you so much for this video.

This is my favourite Paquita variation and Kondaurova is sublime here - she is just so very poised and and refined and beautiful. Love it!

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Bravo indeed 👏 such talent and grace!

quite lovely.

She will be appearing in Costa Mesa, Ca., 2012 in early October with the Mariinsky, of course!!

does this variation have a name? If there is, someone please tell me! I'm doing it for my variation

@mrlopez2681. As usual, I thank you immensely for your fascinating historical notes on this variation.

love you Big Red!

What’s this called? I’m doing this

She is such an absolute wonder. Her technique is flawless, her flow is so strong and secure and of course serene. Lilting musicality. I feel like she was under-appreciated but maybe I wasn't following her close enough.

I don't recall exactly when she was promoted, but thank goodness she's at her rightful principal status. Now if only we could bump other amazing ladies up (and others down or out? hahaha) all would be well :)

There's no doubt Russia presents the world with the most exquisite dancers.
