Gamzatti's Italian Fouettes
Darina Moiseeva is just showing up on my radar because I don't closely follow the Bolshoi as I do the Mariinsky. (EDIT) I wanted to re-state how much she impressed me in the few snippets of her debut that I saw. But I had previously commented on how terribly slow and lugubrious Moiseeva's fouttes were in her debut - it's a trend that I don't like. Yes, it showcases the dancer's control, but it absolutely drains the choreography of energy. It's not a "trick" I like. And here's a side by side, for comparison: Darina Moiseeva's fouettes:

I still haven't see videos of Polina's debut. I'm sure they're somewhere….point me in the direction if you have them, please! Now, I'm very curious.
