I absolutely love her tiny head movements. So expressive. Don't get me started on her tremendously, ridiculously graceful arms and hands. Holy lord SHE IS SO GORGEOUS!!!

Grace, beauty and near perfect control. She makes such a taxing variation look a joy to perform. She is a true artist.

Best one so far

Wow she looks like a fairy tale princess in this one !

Sooooo pretty!! I saw her in the Ballerina documentary and was impressed, but she was definitely still young and a bit uncontrolled(Although, I can't even imagine dancing Swan Lake at the Marinsky at 18!!!!). This video shows a completely different young women, more controlled and mature in her dancing. It will be a pleasure to watch her grow and evolve in the years to come. She and all the other principle dancers with the company are just plain BEAUTIFUL!

I'm her 1# fan !😊💖 I love Alina so much .

I love her so much! she so graceful!

She has strong legs, graceful and flexible, but I think his greatest value is the supple arms and light as butterfly wings and graceful and expressive hands. Alina is an example, not only of great abilities and talents, but also of grace and body expression

Perfect performance. Bravo Alina! :-)

Une nouvelle grande étoile dans le firmament des étoiles de la danse. Merveilleuse!

She dances beautifully!!!! I love her! ♥

Beautiful body line and good control .Bravo Alina !!!!

i love her! when she nails a piece, she nails it.

poquita is my favorite variation ahh she did amazing!!

like an angel is dancing!

FIERCE!!!!💯🔥

Alina recently gave birth to a handsome baby boy. Congratulations, Alina!

Ah, so lovely. She made that look so easy! Right on the music too :)

Прекрасное исполнение! Божественно! Браво, Алина!❤

She improved a lot and I really enjoyed her performance.

WOW....this is the only time that I've seen Alina perform and haven't felt scared to death that she will fall and hurt herself. She was excellent technically, and now she doesn't let her extensions ruin the musicality as much. Though I think she could certainly use some more improvement in her acting, she has improved tremedously.

her entrechat six are flawless

Somova is good, very good.

IMPECABLEEEE !!! Me gusta su port de bras.

Mensurata enfatizzazione gradevole oltremodo alla fine dell'esecutivita ' da parte di questa ballerina che rende la levità tensione agente ed aggrazziata Inedite e fluenti fluttuazioni delle braccia e delle mani rendono più dolci le movenze motili del balletto.Molto brava.Bighin Giulio Renzo

So gorgeous.

Феноменально.

her arms are devine!

Beautiful

Somova's coach for at least 3 years is Terekhova.

Very nice. :)

I find it difficult to choose between her paquita and lopatkina's but in the end, after I twist my arm a couple of times, I have to come down for alina. she uses her head more creatively - the wiggles are original as well as cute and, I believe, unique to alina.

I love that she has hyperextension, it gives me hope. :)

@JacquelyneWilkerson I had the same feelings about her and I'm glad that she improved so much. She became wonderful dancer.

My teachers say the same about me everything else but the arms! But i try :)

stop at 1:54 and look at her leg .-.

*0:03* "Let me stand in sous-su-- whoops, missed it." *0:49* "All right... Whoops. There I go again."

@NDBCdancer i was thinking the same thing! Bambi finally found her legs!

I like in this, compared to when she was fresh out of school, is entirely devoid of those gratuitous hand gestures and uncontrolled everything. She's much cleaner and obviously has put more care into the performance aspect, and the detail. Good to see!

When you watch the newly trained ballerinas although they are so beautiful and amazing one can see how much higher is the level of precision and difficulty by trained principal ballerina versus newly trained ballerina. After couple of years any of the new ones with the proper training, level of intensity and hours of sweating 6 days / week, 6-7 hours per day that can too achieve such high level of performance. Grand Prix: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/id-agJadt9CYZok.html I wish them highest level of success and all the best.

Ah, there's that missing "I".

Can this be me or

@KittyUSF if she's not "the best" then she's damn near close to it. lol!

She is a beautiful dancer , but I feel like something is missing in this variation :/

she definetly dances beautifully :) although i think she's far too thin...

wats wrong?

I have to block out those godawful hyperextended knees.

Ehhh she has improved a lot but her transitions are so abrupt and sloppy and she doesn't have the best control (everyone should agree with that). If she was stronger she would be better than Svetlana ... Until then I'll wait patiently.
