tutumonkey Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 No idea who she is but she's certainly lovely to watch. For her pointe work is that an example of lifting out of your shoes? Quote Link to post

Marga Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Here is a nice article about Polina written by Nina Alovert (well-known dance photographer and journalist) for last October's Dance Magazine: On the Rise: Polina Semionova Quote Link to post

Shadow Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 TutuMaker, Thanks for solving the mystery for me! I knew someone here would know who she was right away! She is really special isn't she? Amazing how she can look so STUNNING in sweatpants! Shadow Quote Link to post
toedancer Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 knock Knock Thank you so much for posting that video! I watched it right away four times in a row. She is a beautiful dancer! Quote Link to post
Shadow Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Marga, I love this part of the article you found.... "But a ballet career did not always seem to be in the stars for Semionova. At 8 years old, she dreamed of attending the famous Bolshoi Academy and prayed that she would get in but was rejected after her first audition. Since her brother, Dmitry (who is currently with The Kirov Ballet,) was accepted, Semionova's family encouraged her to keep trying. One year later, she was accepted into a preparatory class and two years later, she was enrolled in the academy." Very inspirational! Quote Link to post
baking_balletdancer Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Knock Knock That was a beautiful video! I loved it. The ballerina was so beautiful and graceful. baking_balletdancer Quote Link to post
dancemaven Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 DD had found that clip several months ago and showed me. The dancer is exquisite. DD now uses that "over-the-shoulder" shot as her screensaver. The illumination and joy in the dancer's smiling eyes are simply breathtaking. Quote Link to post
Mrs. Stahlbaum Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 That is so beautiful, I have watched it over and over again. Any German speakers out there who can give us the gist of what the song is about? Is the singer a popular German singer? Quote Link to post
Marga Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yes, his name is Herbert Groenemeyer and he has released many albums. I don't speak German, but lyrics to his songs are available online if you care to do some searching. Quote Link to post
Guest afroballet01 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) I took out the translation I gave since shulie has posted a MUCH better translation of the song on page 2. Edited August 29, 2005 by afroballet01 Quote Link to post
