[98girlfun1]

Isnt there another version of this song?

[MrGr4]

Dear Mr Lopez, you have mentioned that "...Johansson was the daughter of the legendary Danish teacher Christian Johansson...". To my knowelege Johansson was Swedish, not Danish. He was the student of Danish chreographer Bournonville.Thank you for all your postings.

[mrlopez2681]

@MrGr4 - oh ye - I believe you are correct. I suppose I was thinking more along the lines of "danish training" rather than his C. Johansson's nationality. I will fix this. Thanks for telling me. :)

Really amazing legs and whole technique...but I cannot see her soul...sorry

[luciagil4ever]

me encanta porque yo hago ballet

[jessDance00]

ZAKHAROVA?????!!!!!!!!!

[americainapparel]

its not as amazing as i thought. although its 2008 i always had this notion that Bolshoi was the best company in the world. when i think its royal

[vandenwer]

I like it¡¡¡¡

[tutus4life]

Leonova's variation was fantastic! is she possibly the daughter of Marina Leonova? the director of the Bolshoi school? She kind of looks like her with her wide face and blonde hair

[danceluverful]

does anyone else find it annoying how the floor is so shiny sometimes you cant see their legs.....?

[mrlopez2681]

@danceluverful - the foor is not to blame, it is merely the brightness of the video, which I was unable to correct.

[danceluverful]

@mrlopez2681 thats ok i thot it was just me. its a great video though thanks for posting!

[dancerhbc]

@danceluverful Yes and it is not that the floor is shiny it is just the lighting.

[udonudon009]

[SPACETIMEBEAUTY]

BRAVA!!!

[prossimamente]

wow .. at 1:42 .. inverted italian fouettes.. I never saw that! .. from ecartè en arrier to passè en avant .. you could also end it to attitude en avant.. it sounds spectacular

[Kikynha100]

Muito Perfeita !

[jnoa100]

[danscze]

Alexandrova is pure beauty in this variation!

[9415908]

The only ones I really liked were Andrienko and Leonova.

[SilverInsanity]

Alexandrova's variation is the one Makhalina danced in the Mariinsky's DVD with the Paquita Grand Pas, yes? Thank you so much for posting these videos. :)

[odile77]

I love to read your descriptions! and thanks for this video it is lovely, and I also noticed some of the hands, I was really focused after reading your descrption... and Alexandrova is LOVELY here!

[Leonnidik]

Your historical reports are amazing.

[galya51]

Beautiful variations made even more meaningful and relevant today by your quite interesting and detailed history. Makes me regret that their are no videos of the "old-time" great ballerinas.

[sangfroidjen]

Thanks for these videos. Do you know where I can find the complete scores for Paquita? I had a CD of Paquita with Spassov conducting a few years ago but I lost it. I think it's now out of print.

[mrlopez2681]

you can still get it....I think i worte a review about it on amazon.
