Vaganova Graduation Perfomance 2011 (Bluebird Pas De Deux)

[Pearlaceous]

I love seeing these behind-the-scenes performances - thank you! Bondarenko is a beautiful girl and maybe her hyperextended knees combined with the very understandable nerves made it difficult for her to find her balance at the beginning?

@Pearlaceous Unfortunately, this view was awful in that she had no problems with her opening balances as seen by the official Vaganova filming and this wings filming is terribly wrong and a great injustice to Bondarenko..

They are so nervous! :(

[retusina]

what a mess in the beginning... :(

Ekaterina is beautiful but technically very weak. Sadly so :(

[FerocityQueen]

@MrRight1000 She could barely balance on pointe...and the angle of shooting reveals so cruely her mistakes...

@russianballetvideo How is filming in the wings wrong? If this was the only way that Nastiagirl could film the performance then I feel that filming in the wings was justified even if it is unflattering.

[russianballetvideo]

@woaibailewo There is nothing wrong with filming from the wings, but from the audience's view, her balances were good. From the wings, they appear to be off balance, which makes this filming angle deceivingly wrong in this pas de deux.

@russianballetvideo Ah, now I understand what you meant. Forgive me for misunderstanding your intentions.

Do you have record of Kristina`s Shapran preformance

Too bad they were shaking a bit quite some times, but I guess they were just nervous. The girl has beautiful legs !
