I don't understand..This is all Zakharova!
-
in my own opinion, of course. i forgot to add
-
Wow I was so confused.. this entire video is Zakharova. She is my idol, Zakharova truly is one of the best.
-
Ha ha ha...It's so funny, I have watched countless videos of Alina on this website, and on every single one, at least one person comments... "maybe she was having a bad day. dancers can't be perfect every time"...ha ha ha... Apparently she has many bad days. As for Zakharova - she's IS a machine!
P.S. This entire video is Zakharova in La Bayadere. ???
-
That's svetlana zakharova, not somova. although miss zakharova is not my favorite dancer, she is ten times stronger and more expressive than somova. Somova just doesn't have detail.
-
This is not Somova at all!!!! It does looks like Svetlana !!!!! But she looks tired and both dancers looks more fat!! Jose Manuel and Svetlana kind of injured I don't know if it's her!! But if she is this is the first time I saw her tired and making noise with his point shoes!!! I hope she's doing great cause she is my favorite dancer!!! And my second is Somova!! They both are perfect ballerinas!!!!
-
That is not Alina Somova al all!!! Not her face, Not her coiffure, not her breast, not her shoulders, not her hands, not her lega and not her dance. I've seen Alina on stage about 30 or 40 times, including La Bayadere, and I can say: ichebat, it's a deception!
-
@GawkyBallerina Yes, that is true. I guess I'm just used to people with softer tread in russian pointes. And no doubt, she's really tired.
-
@Grungirl Keep in mind that Russian style shoes are very hard and loud. I wear Russian Pointes, and they're loud from the day they're new until they die! ;)
-
@missiheartballet you couldn't say it better! I agree 100%
I believe we can't judge on 1 performance. Dancers are not machines; sometimes they succeed and sometines, no.

We are not principal dancers and I respect Alina Somova for her work. But we can have our judgment from different critical angles, even if we are not professionals. I don't like Somova as a dancer, but I know it's a matter of taste.
