“When Masha posts on Instagram, people talk about it. And not just dance people—the San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre principal has more than 166,000 followers, drawn to her quirky content and statement-making style….”

She’s a Sweetheart —- and a very talented one.

A very interesting video-instagram. She describes this Giselle excerpt in her comments as "Gelsey's ending." I had forgotten about this exit, but it's different from others who do running jetes.

She's too young to have seen Gelsey in the theater. Perhaps she's seen some of the archival footage at NYPL?

balletrusse "...I can not change my height, but what I can do is to dance as big as anyone else"

Our special project #defiant starring Maria Kochetkova, one of the best ballet dancers of our time.
Maria doesn't take no for an answer, with the incredible will she pushes towards her goals while staying true to herself. Rarely you see that in the ballet world – the world with total obedience to the canons and the discipline of iron. However, Maria managed to break these canons and did not allow others to dictate how she should behave. And because of this, she remains the inspiration for aspiring ballerinas.
She calls it luck, we call it well deserved pay off for her incredible will and work.

'Maria Kochetkova is the person of our September issue and the brightest representative of the pleiad of defiant ballet dancers who, in spite of everything, break borders and stereotypes.
“First of all you are a person” – under such motto Alisa Aslanova presents her special project “Defiant”. '

Masha to appear in Vogue? And which national edition of Vogue? The photo shoot was apparently done at the beautiful Paramount Theater in Oakland , California (an historic Art Deco-styled theater, built in 1931).

There have been five separate threads so far announcing the news, which goes to show how far-reaching the importance and impact of her leaving is.

;)
Kochetkova's unique quality seems to be her ability to sponge up many disparate styles and dance them all believably and effectively. In that respect, she has helped to shape what people have come to expect from all SFB principals, as much as Tan, or Sylve.

Tan and Masha are not comparable in style.  So they expect anything?

So, immediately post-SFB, Masha has gone to Amsterdam to work again with David Dawson on a new piece for the upcoming Benoit De La Danse (Moscow, June 5th), and, she's appearing at the Staatsballett Berlin.

Masha and Polina Semionova in Berlin:

Lovely picture, Pherank. Thank you.

She has her dress shoes on. Already ahead of the game. Don't think that her face has changed much. Good for her.

One other related image taken by Masha ("First time in 15 years home for New Year’s"):

Besides the poster of Masha, I remember seeing one of these photos showing a framed picture of Audrey Hepburn near the Russian icons.  😉

I love it that she does not succumb to the normalcy of wearing tight, high-heeled shoes. (not trying to slam those who really like wearing those shoes, but there is a sort of pressure on women to try to make their feet look as small as possible. 😛

I like that she avoids the typical sequin sheath dress or evening gown. But she has worn many different styles to galas in San Francisco, so she's not inflexible in what she wears to special events. Ballet can always use some irreverence.
