Love Somova’s dancing. It’s brilliant.

She has such impossibly long limbs its so hard for her to look like she always has them under control, especially with such fast choreography, Balanchine was not meant for her though she puts up a very good effort

She has long extentions, but her arms are awful, it lacks technical refinement and she's so turned in the last diagonal- look at her final pose- you can SEE HER HEEL in the tendu derrière! Thumbs down.

Just because she is tall, with long and legs does not make her a Balanchine "ballerina". She doesn't dance close to any of Balanchine muses! Go watch Suzanne Ferrell or Heather Watts... And then tell me if she even dances close to that style!

Marinsky ballerinas dance circles around NYCB. (And let's not even mention ABT. Especially now that they don't just poach Russian dancers for their top spots, filling them with media-hyped ones lacking the most basic technique)

@danielconover1 To compare Violette Verdy and Alina Somova is immature at best. They're 50 years apart! Back then the Russians looked the same as American dancers who looked the same as Europeans. When "the look" changed it was in America first; Suzanne Farrell is a foot taller than Alina and moved ten times as fast (and she didn't have Jay Leno's chin)! And now at City Ballet all of those girls eclipse Somova in height and leg length and still can dance on the music! In short, Ms. Somova has n

@celmaifierce2113 жыл бұрын
she is not the ultimate Balanchine ballerina and it is apparent in her lack of musicality. this role was created on Violette Verdy, the French muse of Mr. B because she was the most musical dancer her ever knew! Alina is so far from the musicality required in this piece that it inhibits her performance instead of augmenting it. the accent is always on the downbeat (the 1) never the "and" and that's why she looks awkward and unpolished. to dance Balanchine you have to know MUSIC!!!!!
@anastasialenkova-molchalin58742 жыл бұрын
Lack of WHAT?! Very fucking funny. Would she have got into VAGANOVA without musicality?! NO, THEY DON'T TAKE STUDENTS WITHOUT. And NYCB ballerinas are unmusical, and they don't even dance real Balanchine

Musically she was absolutely perfect. Actually she was perfect in her dance too. The only thing I would tell her to work is to make her 1st position more round, it's a little edgy. And her leg in fuette needs to be at 45 degree, not 90. But,that's about it. Everything else was perfect. If I would tell NYCB dancers what to fix it would take 10 pages.

It is apparent that you simply hate the shine and perfection with which Mariinsky's theatre ballerinas dance Balanchine, who also came from Saint Petersburg to America. May be that's why ballerinas in Saint Petersburg dance it way better than ballerinas in NYCB?

Too bad this may upset people obsessed with this dancer, but I do not see what is great. She is less able than than some students to inteprete roles and her technical abilities are nothing special. Where is musical awareness here?As a dancer myself, her lack of musicality is shocking.Laughable though, maybe she hits the vodka before each performance!!
@anastasialenkova-molchalin58742 жыл бұрын
Er.. what? Her musicality is excellent. Unlike unmusical Americans. And you realise that no one graduate Vaganova with bad musicality, right?

I dunno... She had grace! I understand that there are a few mistakes on her tumbs and stuff, but who are we to judge her? Perfect ballerinas? Are we in the Royal Opera House? No! You're just closed-minded and I think a bit jealous of her! I never thought that ballerinas could insult and judge at this point... Disgusting. I liked her dance, bye.
@davidgo92975 жыл бұрын
This performance is a bit flat, although I have seen her do better. And for the record, the best ballerinas don't come from The Royal Ballet. I would argue that they come from the likes of the Mariinsky and Bolshoi in Russia.
