I could watch old films of Sizova all day, even though I prefer tall dancers over short ones. Sizova, however, was blessed with a short body and long legs, so she has a wonderful aesthetic compared to other dancers that are her height, for my taste. She shows such toughness combined with a sensitivity that give her simplest performances an amazing depth of feeling. This is just lovely!
So sad to hear of her passing, she was such a beautiful person dancer and teacher…I had the unique pleasure of being her student sometimes at the Kirov academy of ballet
What a joy Sizova was as a dancer, and she was in life such a lovely modest human being. The Corsaire has never been equalled - and remember she was just a graduating student at the time, which makes it all the more remarkable. If only we could see more of her on film....Thanks for uploading this THRILLING montage!
I am very pleased that you Мavro have seen a video about Alla Sizov. Spinal injury prevented her from becoming the world's greatest star. She danced rare, but it has always been an event at the Kirov (now Mariinsky) Theatre. And Nureyev his first fame was in the same theater and was able to achieve success through the Vaganova Ballet School. I have made in the description of my video link to the unusual performance Nureyev. You can see. Best wishers from St.Pet. Galina/
I have an old recording of "Swan Lake" (early 1960s), and the attached album book about the history of this ballet mentions, "Alla Sizova, Kirov's up-coming great ballerina."
she is so courageous and i think she has an athletic/gymnast aspect to her dance at the Corsaire Variation and the last part of the footage, to the point that the ballerina outfit she has on seems out of place.
Я, не знаток (?) Мариинского балета, видел почти все, что они привозили в Москву, иногдв ездил в Питер, но,как я приезжал,то танцевала Комлева,которую вообще трудно было отождествлять с балетом. Действительно великими в Мариинке были Шелест и Сизова, Соловьев, в Питере - Долгушин, никаких великих типа Дудинской,Колпаковой, Макаровой, Барышникова ,Нуриева (трое последних - скандал с невозвращением), я не видел.
Кстати,помните,как сбегал Годунов. Агент КГБ Григорович взял в заложницы Людмилу Власову, жену Годунова. Но Годунову жена не была нужна, агент КГБ Григорович этого не учел. А теперь представьте, что решили уйти кто-нибудь из : Плисецкая, Максимова, Васильев. Они взяли бы легкие свои сумочки и пошли в другой театр, и никто бы не посмел их остановить, никто бы не посмел дать им семь лет за измену родине. Они великие, и что им такое - страна проживания.
Sizova was incomparable. She just threw her body into space like a springboard diver.

Breathtaking balletic skills, so beautiful and graceful. Rest in peace, Alla Sizova.

Bellísima y excepcional bailarina! Una pena que ya no esté pero seguro que seguirá bailando allí donde este.
Watching her teaching, one finally understands the meaning of "turnout/en dehors":
Unparalleled!
She is my all time favorite dancer.
Divina💐
I adored her dancing.
Прекрасно!
IMO NEVER WAS SEEN AGAIN SUCH BALLON IN CORSAIRE FEMALE VARIATION

Хороша! Сизова - настоящая балерина. Так и задумывался балет в своё время итальянцами! Балерина- - это пружина)

Супер!!!
Miss you Galina ❤

Alla sisowa - the incorporation of aurora,
Única e inesquecível bailarina!
she a monster O.O
she is so courageous and i think she has an athletic/gymnast aspect to her dance at the Corsaire Variation and the last part of the footage, to the point that the ballerina outfit she has on seems out of place.
Are you sure that it's Sizova with Baryshnikov at 1:04 ?

Пожалуй что так 😌

Это жене не нужен был Годунов!
