Having watched the video of Margarita Perkun-Bebeziche posted by Mme. Hermine, I was moved by seeing Marina Victorovna Kondratieva discussing her one time pupil.

Thos wonderful dancer has not I believe,been much discussed on this site.

I was fortunate to have seen Marina Victorovna’s regrettably few performances in London.

Is it possible that she is one of the act I pas de trois girls in the 1957 Swan Lake with Plisetskaya? It looks a little like her, but I'm not sure...
