[@JanineMoony]

You must have look to the performance at Malika Sabirova.(second part) Galina Ulanova was her coach and teacher. Expression/firework,you can see it in her eyes.I now its all in the past,but never the less.Its always magnifique!

[@BytomGirl]

Galina Ulanova was also a teacher of her long time partner and friend Nikolai Tsiskaridze or should we say coach which is different than a teacher, together they were unbeatable pair in many ballets and together won gold medal at Moscow Competition in 1997. They danced Classical PDD of Adam, Grand Pas Classique, in Bayadere with him she was Gamzatti and Nikiya, in Gissele where he was Albrecht she was Myrtha, they danced Raymonda and Sleeping Beauty, Symphony in C and Le Corsair.

[@tutus4life]

that is the traditional costume and color for Gamzatti at the Bolshoi.

[@altongrimes]

Well, I would submit to you all that this is still a very young person and that given a little more time and encouragement to grow, she could fully blossom in every respect.....

[@michelinearthebise2783]

wow

[@kdub10009]

effortless jumps.

[@adballet]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOVELY!

[@broadwaynballet]

AMAZING technique- i do agree that she is a bit blank, but she is young, and I feel that when ones personality and passion comes though it is because they have a comfort onstage due to years of performing, she was just not there yet, BUT she clearly is now because shes dancing with the bolshoi

[@antonietasousa4099]

ADORO BALLET E GOSTO DE TODOS OS BAILARINOS TODOS! MAS CLARO TENHO AS MINHAS PREFERENCIAS! ( como todas as pessoas)

[@AggravatedTurtle]

Most of these comments, when they complain about a lack of passion, I just KNOW that these are avid SYTYCD watchers and what they're really fiending for is sex appeal;) hahaa, ohhhh how culture destroys every art

[@FILIPINADANCER09]

powerful... but the skirt was distracting but the rest was amzing

[@ABTBluebird]

ummmm what was the chasse before the first leap in the manage??? around 1:16. other than that, it was great.

[@evgenyryu8285]

16인데 카리스마 장난 아니군

[@antonietasousa4099]

QUE ESPETACLO ALEXANDROVA

[@akidogirl]

@AggravatedTurtle Nah...u can't say that. I mean, a pro like her could've had better eyelines..hers were too fixed. I mean if u look at even younger amatuers like the KZbin famous Katia Almayeva, she did this variation as well. Just check it out. =)

[@elena1826]

What a weird costume she is wearing.... she should be Gamzatti and is dressed like a fairy
