Grand pas of Solor and Gamzatti from II act of Bayadere, with Maria Alexandrova as Gamzatti and Andrei Uvarov as Solor (doing unusual variation). Bolshoi Ballet 2001.
Thank you very much for this. Alexandrova is one of the very best Gamzattis of them all! So strong! In the catfight she would be able to disarm any Nikiya without help from her maid.
something about that pas looked a bit labored, I think Uvarov was off his game a bit with the partnering, it looked like he had never partnered Alexandrova before. He often partners Zakharova who's hyperextended knees put her balance way back towards him unlike Alexandrova who is always much more on top of her leg.
Maria is always splendid!! To me, she is the Gamzetti of all time! This is a perfect role for her!!
Maria makes it seem so easy...every step so perfect....love her to bits! Thanks for posting Loovecats!
Beautiful!!😊 Loved this act of La Bayadere, especially the Gamzatti and Solor consort dance...those jumps are amazing on both dancers!!😉😁
hello, may i ask, i quite forgot or confuse on how to call the big jump during Gamzatti's entrance? its a tour jete attitude?;)

She would be a sensationel Myrta and Mehmeneh Banu!
Those damnable Minkus-beer garden tunes, they’re so banal but you can’t get their melodies out of your head!
Alexandrova great ballerina, missed from BOLSHOI
Magnificent musi and dancers.

Superbe Maria Alexandrova!

マリアは迫力、気迫を感じさせるダンサーですね。ウバーロフはきひんがあって大好きでした。
In what year was this?
Read description - 2001.
did not partner well Alexandrova in her turns...her variation lovely..
His costume is fucking hideous!! It spoils his beautiful dancing. She is perfection!
KNEES!!! DID russia not stretch their knees at this time at all?
Uvarov was awkward! this is not a flattering variation for solor and making him even awkward.
+dblueroom right on the spot. he looks so gawky and studied, so not in control of his body.
