Giselle: Sarah Lane & Daniil Simkin coached by Irina Kolpakova

[@PalacinkyPDX]

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.

Beautiful dancing. Big big props to the rehearsal accompanist!

[@veracruz7954]

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. 🥰

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.

[@claudiapinho-memorias]

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏👏

[@veronikasokolova8521]

Даниил - превосходен!!

[@robertmcnamara5407]

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

[@alicezff]

Heavenly performance

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I think it was Nureyev.

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

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.
