WOW... this is a school performance. i know this because the mariinsky theatre's ballet company doesn't perform this version any more only the school. that means she was about 16 here because she danced her first giselle when she was 17. this was one year after she left kiev school. she went to vaganova academy AFTER kiev.
i love svetlana zakharova .. but u must see the sugar plum fairy that Larissa Lezhnina did .. o my god its a way diffirent .. amazing trust me and see it
YES! Lejhnina did a wonderful job. In fact, my videos here are of her in Nutcracker, along with Victor Baranov and the Mariinsky Corps de Ballet. (Can ya get better than the Mariinsky?)
Oh my goodness Svetlana is my favorite ballerina! she just floats upon the stage!! bravo svetlana! хорошую работу светлана!

Yeah, Ukrainian, but not her background...she's Russian, but was born in Ukraine...so ethnically, she's still Russian and considers herself Russian.
