Where is Alina's performance? I only saw Svetlana and it was nothing new - perfect as usual.But she is an acomplished dancer who's proved herself and need to prove nothing more. Svetlana is a mature dancer who is in control of her body. Whereas Alina is still trying to impose herself and maybe this ambition plays tricks on her sometimes. She is talented, no argue on that, but she sometimes looks as if her body controls her.
Ichebat, you have entirely too much time on your hands & a bizarre sense of humor. Alina's BALANCE?? Really? This is Sveta, a true Prima.. balance?? Really??
This is not Somova at all!!!! It does looks like Svetlana !!!!! But she looks tired and both dancers looks more fat!! Jose Manuel and Svetlana kind of injured I don't know if it's her!! But if she is this is the first time I saw her tired and making noise with his point shoes!!! I hope she's doing great cause she is my favorite dancer!!! And my second is Somova!! They both are perfect ballerinas!!!!
@Grungirl Keep in mind that Russian style shoes are very hard and loud. I wear Russian Pointes, and they're loud from the day they're new until they die! ;)
@bolshoiboy8 I totally agree with you. I think Svetlana Zakharova is better too. We can't compare them: Zakharova is a real star, not Somova. For me she doesn't deserve her title of Principal ...
We are not principal dancers and I respect Alina Somova for her work. But we can have our judgment from different critical angles, even if we are not professionals. I don't like Somova as a dancer, but I know it's a matter of taste.
I completely agree. I love how extremely critical these people are. How many of you are principal dancers of a company? You don't get there unless you have superior talent and it takes years of work and discipline. It's appalling that you feel comfortable criticising someone for something you probably could never do yourself. Both of them are beautiful. Maybe you should stick to posting video of yourself dancing and we'll see how good your balance is.
Both of them are Svetlana😂
это Захарова! В первые годы в Мариинском
That's Zaharova, not Somova
Who’s the thunder thighed, fat bottomed Solor? He’s cute, and also very good!
LA BAILARINA ES SVETLANA ZAKHAROVA Y NO ES ALINA SOMOVA ...
She looks more like Zakharova to me than Somova.

@GawkyBallerina Yes, that is true. I guess I'm just used to people with softer tread in russian pointes. And no doubt, she's really tired.
@Grungirl Keep in mind that Russian style shoes are very hard and loud. I wear Russian Pointes, and they're loud from the day they're new until they die! ;)
God, they're loud on their shoes. I think softer landings would go well with better balance.
oh please can you post the rest of this scene??? PLEEEASE Thank you : )
She's gotten sooooooooooo much better here!!!

I believe we can't judge on 1 performance. Dancers are not machines; sometimes they succeed and sometines, no.
I love her !
