A better video of Renata's promotion

I love how celebratory and dramatic it is!

And I love that it was after Shurale, which I think is her signature role!

Absolutely mandatory viewing - a truly spectacular DQ.

Highlights include:

0:00 Renata's stunning series of temps de flèche

2:57 Renata doing an assemblé so high that her head nearly goes outside of the camera frame

3:36 Act 1 Pas de trois, finishing with Kimin's signature consecutive double tours

4:14 Kitri's act I variation, complete with triple piqués en dehors and backbreaking leaps, all at whirlwind speed.

4:54 The superman Kimin, with one arm press lifts to both sides!

5:38 Charming Renata, so expressive in her eyes to go along with razor-sharp balances and mindblowing turns, ending the dizzying diagonal with a double piqués en dehors with her arms over her head.

7:58 Love how she jumps so freely into his arms with her head completely thrown back, so exciting!

8:40 Kimin's acting, so cute, he can't possibly even fake being angry with his Kitri, followed by lots of head-shaking DRAMA

8:58 That smirk, I'm dead. PLUS THE KISS TO THE AUDIENCE. Love the pandering that is DQ

9:47 Just too cute, have no further words. Renata's expressions are beyond adorable especially when she cheekily asks for more kisses. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD YOU TWO

9:57 Ahh yes, she remembered now. Here comes the pageantry, especially effective with her fluttering her big doe eyes

10:25 Haven't seen this before, Kimin lovably tugging on Renata's skirt, "Hey, we're doing this gig to get hitched remember! Eyes on the prize!" Their expressions and chemistry is just pure gold.

11:19 Love how playful Renata is in the entree, with deep cambrés and bold arm and head movements, especially as she finishes the pirouettes. Very attractive to see the character of Kitri still shining in the grand pas.

11:54 Flawless lift. Notice Renata's superb coordination, in order to catch the music on time, she prepares her arms to start the turns while coming down from the lift.

12:20 Full split grand pas de chat with no momentum into the adagio preparation SO EXTRA, SO DON Q, I'M HERE FOR IT

12:30 "I'll just make a couple timestamps, I won't go crazy".....I lied to myself. But but this fouette is just too good, Kimin transitioning with both arms stretched wide to show her off. Renata's eyes just make me fall in love and I'm obsessed with her sassy transition into 4th position en pointe.

12:54 WHAT A MOMENT. TIME LITERALLY STOPPED....moving on

13:02 I promise I'll stop timestamping every 10 seconds but like, that arabesque balance is how every balance should be. Classy, without showboating, an active choice on when to exist, no needless 4th wall breaking, perfectly musical.

13:20 The pirouettes? Stellar. The transition out of it? Even better.

13:44 SHe's so confident here, she looks up and explodes her arms out before exiting the pirouette into the penché. That choice creates such feelings of elation.

14:11 Give me either one of their renveresé, thanks :)

14:16 Exiting this (gorgeously done) lift can be awkward, love how Renata uses her arms to transition into the next pose

15:02 YES to the traveling that's happening!!

15:33 Her smile. That's all. Delightful.

15:47 ADORABLE

16:13 Kimin's variation starts. I mean come on. He's just flying around. THOSE OUTSIDE ATTITUDE PIOUETTES. Super stable tours to high arabesques. Just too good.

17:04 Renata's variation starts. Jawdropping footwork, the petit rond de jambes are so clean and so precise, and she's moving so much when she does them. HERE FOR THE RENATA SASS. THe way her face lights up when the crowd starts clapping is priceless

17:57 CODA TIME!!!! Legitimately think no one has ever done this jump better than Kimin. And that manage, just looks like it takes no effort for him to complete. He just floats around like it's nothing.

18:21 Holy shit her fouettes are insane, AND THEN ALL DOUBLES IN THe SECOND HALF???? Aish, her tiny frustrated face appeared for half a second because she was the tiniest bit off and had to do one single. But what a fight, she's such a spitfire. I was on the edge of my seat.

18:45 Speechless. Just what??? How????? Kimin Kim, explain yourself????

19:15 THE WAY THEY SMILE. WHAT A SHOW!!!!

I did this during my first watch-through, I think you can gauge my level of excitement quite clearly ahaha. Let me know your favorite moments and if you enjoyed reading my first reaction :)

Shakirova is doing Odette/Odile tonight!? I think it might be her first time. Maybe all hope is not lost for her career?

Yep! I’m so excited for the videos. I think the real indicator will be if she gets to perform it again

🩰!

Yes!! Ariadne is a really fun character to pick a ballerina for, and I think I'm gonna go with a critically underrated fave of mine. This is Renata Shakirova's Kitri fan variation from Don Quixote!

Kitri is one of my absolute favorite ballet characters just to start with. Joyful, vivacious, and flirty, she's just so fun! She commands attention. It's an energy overall that really reminds me of Ariadne.

Renata's performance in particular here is also one of my favorites. The tempo and speed of the footwork really overwhelms a lot of ballerinas, but Shakirova seems to revel in it, and never for a moment does she lose that playfulness that defines Kitri. She's out there vibing and enjoying the moment, and I can really picture Ariadne with Renata's 1000 watt smile.

Former Vaganova Students as Hebe from the Awakening of Flora!

Here's a collection of Vaganova grads dancing the Hebe variation from the Awakening of Flora. I really love when Vaganova girls perform this variation so I thought it'd be fun to see them all together! I particularly enjoyed Bulanova, Khiteyeva, and Koshkareva, but they're all lovely!

Maria Bulanova at Vaganova Graduation (8th year, 2018)

Alexandra Khiteyeva at a class concert (6th year, 2017)

Maria Koshkareva competing at IBC Moscow (7th year, 2022)

Yaroslavna Kuprina competing at IBC Moscow (7th year, 2022)

Eleonora Sevenard in a gala concert (7th year, 2016)

Renata Shakirova at Vaganova Graduation (8th year, 2014)

Which debuts do you wish to see at the Mariinsky? I'll go first:

Konovalov: Solor, Ferkhad

Khiteeva: Giselle, Aurora, O/O

Lukina: Shyrin, Raymonda

Bulanova: Mekhmeneh Bahnu, Kitri

Shakirova: Mekhmeneh Bahnu, Marguerite (from Marguerite and Armand)

I would add other names and performances to the list, but these are the ones I'm most interested in seeing, at the moment.

Oh! These are spot on. I would add Paquita & Scheheradze for Bulanova. She's so underutilized — I know I keep kvetching about this - but I just don't understand why she's on the sidelines. Also: Ramanbek Belashniev as Basil. I really hope his career progresses. I've long thought that Khiteeva would be a standout Giselle. She has the dramatic heft for these roles. I'd love to see her in that first, then Aurora, then O/O. Shakirova: I'd like to see her do a really standout Aurora & Giselle. Obviously, these are not debuts, but she's now a prima and very beloved. So she needs to dance some of these classical roles with commanding technique and style. I don't think she's a swan and we can put that to rest. But these would quiet the doubters. In a year or two, we'll see what Kulikova and the others are capable of and we can begin to put them on wishlists. Or maybe sooner!

Speaking of debuts. Svetlana Savalieva danced the Fairy of Tenderness role / Candide Fairy recently and she looks lovely. It's tough to essentially walk across stage on pointe shoes and make it look it dainty and graceful. Bravo! Also, check out Skorkik's Italian fouettés @ 2:20. These are the most joyful fouettés I have seen in a long time. Usually, the vibe I get from the dancer is "Is this almost over? Or just make it to the end!" Kondaureva struggled through hers recently and it's clear that she's not 100% after her injury. I hope she gets there.

Ale, in the MT, which ballerinas do you think are 'one of a kind'? Like, there are some really good dancers in the theater, but the two names that instantly came to my mind were Skorik and Novikova (if not counting Vishneva). I'm asking bc of your recent ask, and how dancers find much more inspirational the ballerinas of the past in Russia, so I was wondering if there's still some inspirational ones in the current season.

Thinking of the phrase "one of a kind", I agree that Skorik and Novikova have both established themselves as truly exceptional, idiosyncratic artists on stage. I think you can add Kondaurova and Tereshkina there as well. They're simply inimitable, these are the women who have defined the Mariinsky for the last 15 years.

It's quite remarkable that all those talents have coincided, and I'm quite confident that the same quality of the roster isn't going to be matched any time soon. People can certainly argue that the current principals can't stand up to the golden generation of MT ballerinas from the late 90s-early 2000s but that's a separate topic.

The next generation, so to speak, houses a lot of beautiful girls with gorgeous physiques who dance quite well. In many aspects, their technique, dedication, and stamina are quite inspirational. However, far fewer women can truly make an emotionally charged impression with their dancing. Of those I've seen live, I'm not dreaming about their performances, I'm not rewatching their videos to enjoy and learn. If I want to practice a variation from Raymonda, I'll watch recordings of Novikova or Lopatkina, not Iliushkina or Khoreva.

Of those who've graduated in the last 5-7 years, the only one who I personally feel has delivered truly spectacular, memorable, and moving performances is Shakirova.
