Mariinsky Ballet "Chopiniana-Le Sylphides" Rehearsal * Directed by Gina Ardani

Mariinsky Ballet
“One of the world’s supreme ballet companies” -The New York Times
The Mariinsky Ballet and Orchestra pay homage to the great Russian choreographer Michel Fokine in a program of four of his most beloved ballets, created in the early 20th century. The program begins with the soulful undertones of Chopiniana, a gentle portrayal of romance and grace set to an ethereal score by Chopin.

I adore the deportment so expressed through the vaganova technique that hold the tradition for the blanc ballet - lovely Marinsky!

Les Sylphides is my favorite ballet blanc. My teacher Dimitri Romanoff was a pupil of Fokine and Regisseur with American Ballet Theatre. He rehearsed the dancers for Fokine's Les Sylphides.

[@reanimato1]

sa7102 Askerov's place isn't even in corps...He's so bad in this...

[@pediatrapaola]

he is bad always his rank is shameful

[@sa7102]

yes, he's bad everywhere and he always scratches his balls at a rehearsal instead of working like other dancers. And of sure he's place is not at mariinsky theater.
