Truly amazing - one of those rare insights into how to create magic by dancing.

[@ireneinbarcelona]

What a powerful back Polina has!

[@speteydog2260]

Yes that’s what I saw too! Really strong back.

[@gaetanoposterino974]

Both of them are great dancers,but I would like to expend a word about the Balletmisstress and saying that is just exquisite the way she is leading the rehearsal,very amble and competent,creating the perfect athmoshere to acheef for the role. On WBD I soho many Companies on the netz getting ready and in soo many Ensemble during the rehearsal ,oh dear,there was a very eavy air to breeth.Here is not who is the master who is the slave but a downhearted collaboration.between real world Stars.

Polina's back! So full of muscles!

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

I saw the same thing. Wow...

[@taffyholvenstot8297]

Appears too skinny, unattractive to me.

[@ireneinbarcelona]

@@taffyholvenstot8297 She's by no means skinny, just very, very muscular (with fast, lean muscles) and near to no body fat. What you see is the body os a truly exceptional dancer who, if I am not on the erring side, had a child not too long ago. If you prefer a rounder silhouette, that is fine and a question of personal preference. I for my part find Polina extraordinarily expressive and very sexy, also in her modern roles.

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

ireneinbarcelona exactly. Also, she is very tall, 1,75 m I believe. Taller dancers usually look skinnier because of their long arms and legs. But she looks really female.. she’s gorgeous!!

[@iestynovich]

How glorious! Thank you for posting this.

[@margoriazantseva4471]

Very interesting. I like how they take a breather after rehearsing every phrase to discuss all the small details of choreography and style. Because attention to details and to transitions between movements is what distinguishes great dancing from mediocre one.

😍

[@MrQbenDanny]

BRAVO!!! Good chemistry for a good partnership. Polina never looked better. Virelles was born for Solor, his line is exquisite. Is this performance on DVD?Just curious

[@StaatsballettBerlinOfficial]

There are currently no plans to release this ballet on DVD. The only chance to see it is if you come to one of our performances. We have more performances scheduled until the end of March 2020. www.staatsballett-berlin.de

[@kreul8736]

Great idea! A dvd, please!

[@doppx]

@@kreul8736 Hear hear! i consider Polina's Nikya to be of the Greatest.
