I love the Bolshoi audience. So excited about and adoring of their dancers! Bravo indeed!

It seems Alexander Volchkov was Zakharova's second choice partner after Andrei Uvarov in classical dance until a new generation of male dancers arrived. He seems to have fallen into a gap between the two generations, which is a shame because he was better (IMO) than some of the younger ones.

Please stop the whining!
