Interview with Polina Semionova | "I wasn't flexible enough" | Bolshoi - Berlin - ABT and more!

[@rvprossjjlrzar]

I love the fact that she put importance of wanting the observer, watching a performance, to fall in love with the dance. She said it might be their only chance to see a ballet live. A very beautiful statement and very unselfish!! She is a incredible and beautiful ballerina!

Polina and Roberto together are always a pleasure to watch ✨💓💖

[@thecuriouscat5001]

She is so down to earth and so inspiring.

[@pinkswan250]

Polina, you are incredible. One in a million 🌟

[@ahones2255]

What a nice and accomplished ballerina is Polina. She says "When you lose yourself is when you really get the drive of dancing". It reminds me of Natalia Makarova: "For me dancing means overlooking the formality of movement, it means spirituality; otherwise, what good is it?"

I still remember the awe I felt when I watched her in that Gronemeyer music video over a decade ago. Thank you for doing this interview!!! I especially like hearing about the teaching aspects of dance: whether it is how they interacted with their teachers or approach teaching other dancers. Super interesting

[@balletwithisabella]

Thank you so much! ❤ so glad you enjoyed it x

All my favorite dancers- like Pomona, are lovely genuine and humble people. I really enjoyed this interview.

Great guest, great host. Two inspiring women. I love the warmth, respect, integrity you embody conducting these interviews and your insightful and interesting questions. My only slight disappointment is I hoped I might get to hear a little of your Russian 😄

[@proheartful]

[@balletwithisabella]

[@a.phillips6892]

I’ve always adored her. Watching her and Vladimir Malakhov in “Caravaggio”, I will never forget.

Bella bailarina que nos regala su corazon al danzar, la mejor!!❤❤

[@Vale-kg3vd]

I love her she is so sweet

[@Emma-dm7rm]

Thank you - it is so interesting and inspiring !

[@tiffcat1100]

I would love to know how her brother got on with his talent. I’ve always loved Meredith Daneman’s book A Chance to Sit Down which covers the life of a dancer before, during & after having a baby girl. It’s a little spicy at times, beautifully & cleverly written ❤

[@Caroline-jt6ez]

I really want to see an interview with either Natalia Osipova, Olga Smirnova or Iana Salenko :)

[@balletwithisabella]

Great idea! 😊
