Great musicality, wonderful partnering skills on both sides. Her lines are wonderful, he lifts her weightlessly and effortlessly. Brava

[analauraesilva1]

[PeterK11000]

the music the gad fly shostakovich?

[cocolinabt]

pure beauty

[TheAuroraMoon]

Can anyone identify the music??? Think it is by Raboniwitz....it is a Russian work. Such beauty, grace and elegance come together to glorify the body from years of tormenting practice and pain, but oh so appreciated.....my heart wants to burst at the beauty. Thank you.

[ifthousayestso]

Is the dancer from the Mariinsky? What is his name?

[danceblogger17]

What I really like in Zakharova is that everything she does looks so effortless

[moushka26]

I can't help but think how Balanchine would have adored Zakharova. She's everything he loved best in a ballerina.

[KirovFan]

Svetlana turns classroom steps into something unbelievably beautiful.

[itstyme4me]

*sigh..... life's not fair

[michalleby]

It looks like everything comes naturally and easy for her, my dream is to be like her!

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

I just created a new level of jealousy

[momokoye]

absolutely breath-taking

[Heartistic4Him]

I love how this is so clean and classic, and yet so many of the movements have distinctly un-classical variations to them. So gorgeous.

[bananahead82]

[SiMcAzeBOMB]

Damn, those are some hard lifts! Bravo to the man!

[loulie1997]

This music is breathtaking for it not being a ballet! :)

[000shinestar]

What do they do to Russians that they are so perfect!!???

[newpointshoes]

@000shinestar They pretty much breed them to become dancing machines. Kids enter the school when they're really young and immedietly start on stretching excercises (think pulling your leg up to your head and over-splits). Since its a boarding school, the kids eat, breathe, and bleed ballet. Some say teachers are much harsher on the students there but thats a more cultural thing. Still, because Russian teachers are so demanding, you see maximum results.

[000shinestar]

@newpointshoes oh, thanks :) you need to be very passionate to make that

[killbunnysforbois]

Holy crap, is there anyone better than her at all? I don't think that's possible!

[LeopardForestCoffee]

That was so beautiful that I can't describe how beautiful it was.

[bopeks75]

This music is ravishing. Svetlana is very near perfection-- the partnered jumps are not quite *legato* enough. Her partner is gorgeous, too.

Basic class adagio steps, but when performed by Svetlana they turn into something so perfect, so lovely, so pure that it makes you cry.
