@ParanoidAndroidDA I also love her extensions. They're high, but steady as hell, and they only enhance her body line, not detract (like Somova and even sometimes Zakharova in my opinion). Sometimes ballerinas sacrifice balance and control for getting their leg up to their ear and I don't find it particularly attractive. Kobborg is okay, just okay. I love Bolle as Albrecht these days. His entre-six-chats are to DIE for. I wonder if he'd partner well with Alina C.?

I only hope I can become as good a dancer as her :)

She is so beautiful. Such control!

@chamuda610

kobborg is INCREDIBLE just like alina.

@pridenprejudice2004 Oh I know. They made me weep. If Alina and Misha could have danced together...wow. Natasha was spectacular too, of course, but Alina--and Gelsey--will always be Giselle.

[pridenprejudice2004]

Really nice, but still like Makarova and Misha the best of all. Her and his passion style are unmatched.

@chamuda610 I know what you mean, Somova's extensions can be quite scary at times though she has improved a lot, her Giselle is good. I've only seen clips of him as Albrecht with Zakharova but he was wonderful. I think he would, I'd love to see that partnership.

@rawrcherry Yep!

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

I love her extensions, they're high but seemingly effortless. I don't like Kobborg in this particularly he just looks a little bit lost.

@cherry27coke2 GOOD LUCK!

i don't know, i just thought this partnership is just ok. there are wobbly lifts coming from kobborg. i prefer the nunez-pennefather team.
