La Bayadere. Altynay Assylmuratova. Nikiya death scene. Kirov.

[@stephaniecruvant9130]

Altynai communicates each emotion & thought of Nikiya so beautifully. Her dance flows from the emotion & story as well the music..this is true Art!!

[@ersteerste]

her body itself is dance and music at the same time. She's my favorite Nikia telling the story absolutely perfectly

sensational

[@avesraggiana]

In the words of the Times Magazine dance critic of the day, “Asylmuratova sits astride the role of Nikiya like a Bengal tiger”. Perfectly apt description.

It is my understanding that Vinogradov cooled considerably to AA because she would not sleep with him, after which he put the much less talented (in my opinion) Mahalina into the spotlight. Un fact it was he would practically forced her to retire in 2000, claiming that she was too old, thereby robbing the dance world of one of its greatest treasures.

well me too at place of asylmuratova would have vastly prefered to sleep with zaklinsky than with that old bag vinogradov l clealy undrestand it despite l am a man .
