Lyubov Olylmpievna Kunakova has passed away at the age of 75. May she rest in peace.

She coached so many of the theater’s stars and upcoming talents. The impact at the Mariinsky will be felt for a long time: Tereshkina, Illiushkina, Evseeva, Kuznetsova, Savalieva…I’m sure there are more. 🕊️

"Bulbous insteps".

Hmmm two words I never thought I'd hear

#bulby #ballerina #I do feel like inadvertently not-bulby feet just doesn't show *ballerina* but rather somehow young/not yet strong dancer #it's a different line as well

Choreographed by Norbert Vesak

#evelyn hart #david peregrine #I love how this choreography takes classic pas de deux moves and expands #like yeah why shouldn't that classic giselle lift become an upside-down split?#beautiful music #and why not a lift into a full middle split #and an illusion-looking thing #the lines and back bends are gorgeous #it's such innovative and yet still beautiful choreography #and the beginning is so realistically yet still artistically romantic #this is I think what contemporary ballet should emulate #Youtube

Interview with Nina Ananiashvili

#nina ananiashvili #there are many others too but they are not in english sadly #she has her own channel with a lot of ballet world people interviews #Youtube

Evelyn Hart and David Peregrine, pas de deux from Norbert Vesak's Belong. They also performed this piece at Varna in 1980.

Yelena Yevteeva and Eldar Aliyev, Barber's Adagio. 1992 (They also promenade in this pose)

Absolutely mesmerising... lines...

Pyotr Pestov:

"If Chopiniana or Giselle are cast and danced well, they can be exquisite. I never liked Swan Lake much. Everyone thinks they can do it. Marina Semionova moved me immensely as a student. She was stunning and never the same. I don’t like when dancers do ballets the same way all the time."
