Giselle: Sarah Lane & Daniil Simkin coached by Irina Kolpakova

Filmed at the ‪@AmericanBalletTheatre‬ studios at 890 Broadway in February 2020 right before our tour to the ‪@kennedycenter‬ in Washington DC.

They were very lucky to have an artist of Kolpakova's calibre to coach them. She was one of the greatest ballerinas in the history of the Kirov, and basically the last great dancer taught by Vaganova.

Sarah Lane is such a GREAT ARTIST ! Huge loss for ABT..... 💕💕 And Daniil has accomplished very well the difficult task of evolving from Wunderkind into the fully mature dancer he is today. 🥰

[@IceAintNice]

Beautiful dancing. Big big props to the rehearsal accompanist!

Sarah and Danny such beautiful people

[@sedekiman]

Very beautiful. I thought in the travelling arabesques, he lifted her slightly left as though he was taking her from the air, before the horizontal lift. very nice!

sooo gonna miss Sarah at ABT and this partnership now that she's left :(

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I once saw pictures of a male ballet dancer feet…a lifetime dancer…they were very damaged but he was still dancing! All that force takes a toll.

[@user-ov9kr5xu3i]

コルパコワ様～😸 長く活躍されて、嬉しいです(⌒‐⌒)😸 あなたは私スターです😸 ABTも毎日見に行ってたなぁ😸 懐かしいです😸

[@julijasokolskaja6444]

Daniel Simkin ❤️👍

[@julietabolzoni6130]

Pensar que uno los ve arriba del escenario y no ve que todos los días están entrenando así para la mejor performance . El ballet es duro !

[@alicezff]

Heavenly performance

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I think it was Nureyev.

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Or Baryshnikov, from his body type and blonde hair

[@robertmcnamara5407]

For some reason (possibly musical) I always look forward to the releve section just after the entrechats. Love that moment.

[@alyssafaithmcleod4211]

[@rusman8402]

Dear Danil, how to learn how to turn a pirouette andedan at the machine!

[@marymohagheghi4875]

I would Love to have seen this it’s a partnership that would have grown and grown … why did she leave 😢

[@kerrytakashi12]

I saw them perform this, it was a gorgeous. Lane was let go from the company with no announcement. She is guest performing with Houston Ballet this season. I wish I could see her.

[@marymohagheghi4875]
