No one has speed like Kurgapkina. She is almost ahead of the music, as if she were riding the wave of the music. As Kitri she practically surfs!

This little gem is all the more valuable now that Kurgapkina is sadly gone.

Как же она хороша!

I love the old Balletvideos sooo much!!! Theyre just beautiful!!!! :)

YES THIS PIECES GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HIS HABILITY AS A GREAT LEVEL TURNER AND THE LIGHTNESS OF HIS JUMPS,A REMARKABLE DANCER OF HIS TIME.

Exquisite! This is a treasure. Thank you MarioManners66 for posting.

adorable!

@pediatrapaola Yes, this is Harlequinade should be! And Kovmir looks much much better in this. Their sense of humour is priceless as their techique.

Это же Руди с ней? Какая прелесть! Жаль, что его уникальные ноги сливаются с фоном, но все равно это удивительно, такая запись хорошая. Спасибо, что делитесь с нами своими сокровищами

Какая ювелирная мелкая работа ногами ,стопами. Всё исключительно музыкально , да,подобное больше не увидишь к сожалению.

@pediatrapaola So sad to hear it. He is deeply missed.

Are you sure it is 1974 and not 64? She would have been there 45 years old but from 69 she was already teaching at Kirov and in 72 she was appointed rector of Vaganova. I know Kovmir was much younger but was she still dancing at that time?

ninel us outstanding but kovmir too

It's not Kovmir, it's V. Vikulov
