The Moscow style will be coming back in with the Vaganova newbies from now on, courtesy of Professor Tsiskaridze. Tsiskaridze founded a committee to ensure the correct teaching of Vaganova's teaching. None of his recent graduates have taken on a Moscow style. Link to comment

Well, for sure Yulia will not dance that variation again now she is a principal! Dryad Queen, yes, but I can't wait to see her Kitri Link to comment
Helene Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I love the very last dress she's wearing when she picks up the candle by the tree. Link to comment
Birdsall Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 She’s gorgeous in that video! So glad her career has skyrocketed! There are moments of her Swan Lake that stick in my brain because she was moving. Link to comment
Drew Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I could do without the birthday-cake licking, but she is unbelievably gorgeous here. Genuinely looks like a model or an old-school (yet up-to-date) movie star. Edited December 28, 2017 by Drew Link to comment
ballet_n00b Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 She is such a beautiful woman. However, I had to turn the sound off. Link to comment

mnacenani Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Must say this DQ grand pas execution is not bad at all - is this from last year's Samara gala ? Don't have anything against Stepanova - don't know the dancer well enough, will be watching. So far I only saw her live once as Medora and reported how it looked to me. Tastes and likes are so personal, someone else could have a totally different take on that same performance. Link to comment
Laurent Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thank you for this video !! I had a privilege to witness some of these performances and I am deeply moved by watching them again. I feel too emotional to write something coherent, I will only say that I see around 100 performances a year, the majority from the top companies, I know their principals, soloists, the most promising young dancers, many really good ones, and I know nobody at the moment who would be more interesting, more profound, more moving, those graceful, singing lines that are so pure, those incredible hands, the ability to fill with meaning every single movement, make her for me the very essence of a Romantic ballerina, with an enormous potential to grow, I can't wait to see her in Paris, but if one does really love ballet, she is worth of traveling to Moscow, Japan, wherever you can see her performing.

In terms of choreographic excelence, "Le jardin animé", was the high point, in terms of Stepanova's own dansing, the danse de caractère of the second tableau in the first act, and the classical variation in third, were the highest points of the whole spectacle, that was dansing of sublime quality, very rarely seen, none of them included in the video, unfortunately. Last year I saw it matched only by Ludmila Pagliero in her first "La sylphide" in July, in one word it was like seeing Marie Taglioni incarnate (that "La sylphide" for me was the spectacle of the year, by the way).

I did not see Pagliero's La Sylphide, so cannot comment on that, but it sounds truly magical! However, I HAVE been fortunate to see Yulia Stepanova dance numerous times over the years - in class, in rehearsal, live on stage, in all her roles, including those shown in the video. I can only agree with you. Overall, her Medora was a stupendous ballerina performance, showing as it did, not just those wonderful arms and flow of movement, but musicality, acting skills and also the purest of unflashy technical prowess. Few so-called "ballerinas"actually deserve that title; but If ever there was a test of a ballerina's right to be called a ballerina - then with that Medora, Yulia Stepanova passed with the highest honours. The only tragedy is that we could not see her as a principal dancing these roles years ago... Link to comment
Peruanka Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A little bit of Yulia's latest Swan Lake. Enjoy! Link to comment
Drew Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Thank you both for posting links. I don't find the Rothbart-centric clips very revealing, so it's especially nice to have the other. Edited January 21, 2018 by Drew Link to comment

A gala organized by Andris Liepa and it happened at the Kremlin. Yulia danced as well Black PDD with Jacopo Tissi. There were other stars such as Vaziev and Vinogradova, Sarafanov and Novikova, etc... you can see more videos of the Gala in that same channel and in the Ballet Opera YT channel. Link to comment
Mashinka Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thank you, I'm touched that there has been an acknowledgement of his 80th anniversary, there has been nothing here in the UK which is pretty disgusting considering what he did for the Royal Ballet and also in view of this year also marking the 25th anniversary of his death. It seems that the RB doesn't do anniversaries anymore. Nothing to mark 200 years of Petipa, and quite astonishingly it looks as if the hundredth anniversary of Margot Fonteyn's birth is going to be completely ignored. Link to comment
