@camille32087 I have to say Victoria Tereshkina, Vaganova trained Mariinsky principal can show the best rendition of TPDD in years. She has sublime upper body, arms and can move exactly like a music score itself never lose the beat of this music.
Balanchine is a technique and a method of ballet training, a la Vaganova, Ecole Francaise, Ceccheti, etc. It emphasizes speed and flexability. Russians do a more exaggerated step, often "sitting" in positions (showing off their strength as per Vaganova method), and tend to be slower turners. Though these two do a beautiful rendition of TPDD, they do change tempo and for me, lose the wow factor of the Balanchine quick step.
@TheOracleBird yes I met with Leonid 2001 in International Ballet Competition Moscow and stayed there amost 15 days all the round and rehersals !he won gold medal :)) and the same time Polina Seminova was there too ... we all was so young :))) After ı watched Polına ın BERLIN and Leonid came last year to Turkey to dance Gala ..and what I know Olesya and Leonid married ..
@TheOracleBird ohh ı see :)) ok ..yesss she ıs one of my favorite ..ı lıked her very much too and also Leonid :) I was the same competition with him in Moscow 2001 :) he is absoluty gorgeous !!

Absolutely gorgeous. A perfect couple!
