@Pearlaceous. I am with you on this one 100%. In reponse to some others, she isn't "heavy"; she is a fairly tall girl with beautiful strong legs.

Beautiful, queenly, statuesque swan - love Kondaurova!

@TheBalletFan Stop talking crap about Kondaurova. You're talking about a girl who feeds on baby food once in a while and starves herself the rest of the time in order to keep losing weight. Only because she doesn't have the same body type as most Mariinsky ballerinas doesn't mean she's "heavy". But if you still think so you probably need your eyes checked.

Was trying to enjoy this but the tempo kept annoying me; seemed a bit slow. I hadn't seen Kondaurova before; she's lovely.

@hellotomorrow14 Sorry, I should have said 'as Odette/Odile', a large swan. But I looked again now and perhaps you are right.

[hellotomorrow14]

@oldoperafan I don't find that to be true. The two are alike in that they are both fairly large of frame and muscular relative to their fellow company members; however, they both have very different proportions, different feet, etc. I see more similarity between Lopatkina or Kolegova and Kondaurova than between Kondaurova and Alexandrova.

Kondaurova reminds me physically of Maria Alexandrova.

@26looksee Yes I don't find Zakahrova robotic. In my opinion, anyway. :)

[26looksee]

@EvanescenceROCKSS Zakharova not robotic (??)

@Pearlaceous I agree!!! SHe is absolutely stunning-as a dancer and as a woman!!!!!

Kondaurova’s dancing is far, far easier on the eyes than that caricature of classical ballet, Alina Somova. Kondaurova is to Marilyn Monroe what Alina Somova is to Jayne Mansfield. Same attributes, big difference in effect.
