3/3 Very Rare Kirov Mariinsky Ballet Rehearsal Ruzimatov Asylmuratova Selyutsky

[growsonwalls]

Asylmuratova and Ruzimatov were I think at one time romantically involved, even though each was married to someone else. There was a tour in NYC where the shit hit the fan, and I think their partnership broke off after that.

I am sorry, but your information is wrong...The title of the ballet is Rehearsal, and was choreographed by ANTAL FODOR in 1982. Yes, he is Hungarian, and this ballet was the most successful of him, performed by the Kirov/Mariisky as well...

the ballet was filmed in Hungary with the original cast (actually a mix of the original 1st and 2nd cast)...

he is so svelte. European dancers are much thinner than American dancers. I want to be like that.

My favorite dancers forever and ever. No one can compare.

I have to tell that Ruzimatov has a HUGE fan base in Japan!

They are not chatty like me,

BUT THEY ALL THANK RSSIANBALLETVIDEO ENORMOUSLY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THEIR HEART!

This is another fascinating video. The beautiful Asylmuratova isn't tall, and Ruzimatov isn't a whole lot taller than she is. Maybe he is around 5'7"? About the same height as Leonid Sarafanov perhaps? Thanks a lot for posting this. It is rare now, but 10 years hence it will be priceless.

no once saw him very near l am 174 cm he was taller than me may be 180 more or less,l had this impression

[russianballetvideo]

He is around 175 cm, 5'9". 180 is impossible.

[pediatrapaola]

one feet is 30,48 cm aprx 179,8 cm if is 5,9 l saw very near me at stage door in genoa he was with vishneva after giselle

[russianballetvideo]

You are correct that one foot is 30.48 cm, but 5'9" is 5 .75 feet and if you multiply 30.48 by 5.75, the answer is 175.26 cm.

@palubob Leonid Sarafanov is not short at all. I stood next to him in class & he was at least 4" taller than me & I'm 5'6. So he's around 5'10-6'0 (178-183) area. Ruzimatov on the other hand isn't as tall. I agree w/ russianballetvideo. I saw him in numerous occasion & he's somewhere around 5'9-5'10 (175-178) area. But he does appear to be alot taller due to his long limbs & big/open movement quality.
