Altyai's phrasing..this is "The Black Swan".. I love everything about this! Enchanting..

[@Pearlaceous]

Wow! Altynai is glamorous, sensual and magnetic - truly a commanding Odile! And Kostya as always has wonderful presence, style and partnering! Love it!!!

Of the four Kirov Odiles I saw in one week, she wasn't the strongest technically, but she was my favourite by far. She wasn't even particularly dramatically impactful but she was the most charismatic, the most engaging, and by far, the most beautiful of them all. I loved her.

[@vivianleenet]

Ohhhh my word. I have never heard of her but she is enthralling. Perfectly fits the attitude of Odile.

[@elenaratelimit]

Thanks for the upload! She is one of my all time favorites...

[@veramentegina]

yes, they don't make them like her anymore. She is commanding of the stage, pure confidence, sensuality and strength. I wish i could have been right there. :)
