It amazes me how effortless she makes it look when we all know how truly difficult it is.

[@Prettydevilx]

she's better at this variation than Natalia osipova

She's so perfect in Laurencia variation! I think that Regina is very expressive. Beautiful jumps! Bravo!

[@avesraggiana]

The lady basically butchered the name of the variation by mispronouncing it beyond recognition. Makes me wonder just how knowlegeable the organizers and announcers are at YAGP. It's the ballerina variation from "Laurencia", a full-length story ballet from the USSR, choreographed by Vakhtang Chabukiani to music by Alexander Crain. First performed in 1939, perhaps the most famous Laurencia was Russian ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, who first danced it in 1956. She was legendary in this ballet.

[@Hilynn4]

yessss get it regina! you can hear me screaming(:

[@ajitchaku]

She loses her face when she turns and then after that she smiles. And then it repeats. I know it's hard to keep your face when turning because you're so focused. But keep trying
