I think she's a lovely dancer, and if by cheater you are referring to her shoe brand (Gaynor Minden) that's really unfair. Shoes don't give you lovely arabesque lines, clean jumps or talent.

This is AMAZING!

I absolutly adore Alina, really she is my idol. In this she is so sweet and innocent. I love it and Johan is great also. They make a great team!!! :DD

@resborzage this is really a rude comment. maybe some dancers are not "natively" trained for certain style and that their own styles are rooted in their muscle memory, but you cannot deny that they try to adapt to masters' ideas and try to pull it off their own way. alina is not a bournonville ballerina, but this pdd is definitely lovely and full of character. this is how art keeps going.

There is nothing 'amazing' about this. I sometimes wonder if all the ballet comments on youtube are written by 15 year old girl ballet students who know the lingo and can't wait to show off their knowledge of feet, shoes and how amazing and adorable their fav. dancers are.

See Linda Hindberg and Arne Villumsen (genuinely 'amazing' artists) dance this and then compare to this very unremarkable and quite inelegant performance by these overrated, gimmicky and usually vulgar dancers.

These dancers are terrific but they strayed from the"Bournonville" style of this marvelous pas de deux. Her extensions are far too high and the bent knees in her arabesques don't belong in this style of ballet. I'd love to see them in the Russian classics. I simply prefer the Royal Danes in this ballet, especially Rose Gade Poulson and Alexander Kolpin.

What kind of pointe shoes does alina wear?

[katievhoneychurch]

johan.wow.

[dancer2664]

they are both so lovely! however it seems to me kobborg isn't following danish lines (ending turns with arms in first etc) but i thought he was danish? even if is isn't (and I know aina isn't) it kind of bugs me when people don't use danish port de bras in genzano. it's a bournonville ballet afterall! yet in anycase they are both amazing, such nice quality and ballon!

This is so adorable. ^0^ I just can't get over it. She is so amazingly beautiful.

[MizHappyPerson]

wow! this is beautiful- they leap like their as lighter than air and turn like they're stuck to the ground, and that grande rond de jambe into the penchee -AMAZING

[fullmoonglare]

Wow, I don't know how they move like that. They both have such flawless technique AND character, and they make everything look so effortless.
