From her 4th year to her 7 th year, Alina Somova was no longer the shortest girl in class and was possibly the 2nd tallest girl in class. The tallest girl is Elena Vostrotina, who is in the center of the second group. Vostrotina had a brilliant future at Mariinsky, but like a few others, such as Olga Yesina and Maria Yakovleva, both going to Vienna, Elena left the Mariinsky. Elena went to Dresden, which has 2 ex-Mariinsky ballerinas as principals, Natalia Sologub and Olga Melnikova. For those who enjoy Alina's extension, you will enjoy Vostrotina's extension. For those who hate big extension, you can complain about two ballerinas.

  • to all the haters for Alina, why should she hold herself back just because you dont think its right?! Yes ballet is an art form, but she handles both the 'tricks' and the beauty very well, think about how amazing she will be once she is older and can tap into her emotions even more!

  • @emo2theheart You need to watch the recent Alina Bayadere video posted by ninabejanishvili. Alina has already tapped into her emotions beyond anyone's imagination.

  • "If" by Rudyard Kipling or "How to become a Ballerina": "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;" ... there is much more.
  • @ichebat "If" you would like to post the other four verses, I am sure, some would like to see them for the first time. It is your decision

  • which one is alina and how old is she here?

  • @FD02Ballet Center of first group. Not knowing her month of birth, I recently looked at her parts in Ballerina documentary and when she was graduating, they said 17, so she must be 16 here.
