If it was easy, anybody could do it. If it was easy, it would not be challenging and it would be a bore to watch. "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,..." (JFK) (lol)

you're the only person who watched this like, a few months ago.

Alexandra Friedman There are specific and very distinctive characteristics and signature steps that make the Bournonville method what it is and you really have to be able to adapt to all this in order to really master the style. The Bournonville method has its own way of doing everything, for example, it's very rare that they use both arms when doing jumps; jumps are usually done with one arm or no arms at all. There's also the special hand position and how they use space. Dancers like Obraztsova would Russian-ise Bournonville, which means they don't dance the method as it should be danced. When dancing a method like Bournonville, you can't change the style simply so it suits what you're used to; you have to be able to adapt to different styles otherwise you're going completely against the style you're trying to master. Johan Kobborg and Alina Cojocaru are probably two of the best dancers to watch in Bournonville - Kobborg is trained in the Bournonville method and therefore, everything he's doing in this clip is very authentic. Cojocaru isn't a trained Bournonville ballerina, but she must've learned everything she knows about the method from Kobborg, as he probably would've taught her everything he knows. You say you're Vaganova-trained? Agrippina Vaganova's original method contained influence from the Danish school because she was trained in the Bournonville method herself - one of her teachers was August Bournonville's star student, Christian Johansson.

Unfortunately vaganova method is much more soviet than bournonville. Its not even russian traditionnal school. Here there are some high extensions from alina which doesn't fit with bournonville style.

Evgenia is excellent in Genzano festival of the flowers I also liked her partner but she is one of the best dancers of today I'd like to see her dance with Polunin also

Genzano festival of the flowers is charming Evgenia evokes the mood and the charm of the festival when she dances

Exactly what i thought
