Salenko and Simkin injected real passion into what can be a dusty old favourite. They both have soft, elegant and expressive upper bodies combined with legs of steel. Loved this version of the pdd.

Iana Salenko and Daniil Simkin are such a perfect match! They both have not only a stunning technique and artistry, but they also radiate the same passion for ballet. And they both look much taller than they actually are, lol 😂 👏❤️ Because they both have such beautiful long lines. Who would guess that Iana is only 5 ft 1?

The Grand pas de deux of Le Corsaire by Daniil Simkin and Iana Salenko was very wonderful . All the scenes of the two are beautiful and perfect, and each variation is also stunning . It's been a while since I've seen such a wonderful Le Corsaire Grand pas de deux. Their respective careers, very highest ballet technique, and expressiveness were perfect. I was deeply moved in every scene.Bravo !!!!!

@@reneerichero1219 Thank you very much.

Daniil Simkin has so many great moments....his jump combinations are so original and so incredible, truly poetry in motion! The beginning pas de deux with Salenko was just marvelous, a really good pairing! All of the women in Pas de Quatres danced with such beauty and grace, in lovely attitudes, such control! I kept thinking during both ballets how lucky Berliners are to have these dancers to watch, truly amazing work!

Wanderfull !!!!!!!!

I have watched the Pas de Quatre like 10 times! I love it! The dancer who dances Marie Taglioni, her name is Yolanda Correa is especially WONDERFUL.

I indulged myself into a binge-watching of Berlin dancers and i can't get enought. I had no idea that Simkin, Correa and Virellles are already there. And i also appreciate the diversity of styles/genres that you are trying to accomodate within one opera house. No wonder that so many of the great contemporary choreographers started their careers in Germany. Thank you for that from Ukraine

Iana is the most beautiful ballerina in the world. Once again I am impressed.

Simkin; flawless, exceptional.

Yes!!!!! Daniil Simkin is exceptional. An unforgetable dancer, we can include him in the group of the great ones of ballet

Quasi simbionte alla leggerezza dell' aria che sembra filare la performance di questa ballerina che esprime in toto l'esprit de joie della danza e la sua armonia. Ottimo l'impadronimento imperativo del proscenio da parte del ballerino a balzi falcati amplissimi ed a torsioni aeree.Ottime le.pose figurali assunte nell'ensembe e la impressione di facilita' esecutiva d'acchito per entrambi.Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti. Superlativi. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I can watch him numerous times! He is the greatest dancer ever performing for the contemporary classic ballet!

The pas de quatre was danced beautifully by all four dancers, especially Yolanda who was so fluid and had great footwork. The music and costumes were also lovely. The Corsaire pas de deux was entertaining and energetic, especially Simkin with his awesome turns. Thanks for posting, C ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing!! Pas de Quatre is absolutely exquisite. I had the feeling that it was a young choreography. It used to be danced in a very old fashioned style. Here, the four ballerinas have the technique and body of today's dancers and that makes it look so young and refreshing.

BRAVO!!!BRAVISSIMO!!! Highlights for me are Daniil SIMKIN and Yolanda CORREA'S Taglioni, both understand STYLE and phenomenal techniques.

Want one of those romantic tutus!

Amazing! GPDQ completely captured the style of the period (I think they even softened their pointe shoes so they would resemble those of the time) and, without overdoing it, the fact that the 4 ballerinas were not necessarily on good terms. Corsaire was just an OMG INCREDIBLE. I've never seen the movement that's like a barrel turn with the following leg brought around (is there a name for this?) done sequentially nor most of the male choreo for this pdd embellished to this extent, but where else could you embellish and have it look brilliant? And Iana---I just run out of superlatives trying to describe her technical finesse and elegance. Thanks so much for posting!

@Ian Roberson Thank you! I knew I'd heard a name for it somewhere but forgot. I felt like Simkin was doing some of the frills "because I can" (reminded me a little of some of the tricks a young Roberto Bolle would pull out, like posee to 5th , then extend to arabesque---and hold and hold and hold---whilst still on half pointe). But in a stand-alone pdd, there really is no better place to pull out all the stops. I've usually seen the 540s done as one barrel-type turn, then down to one knee, then rinse and repeat. I have never seen them done continuously like this. Pretty amazing! And I have nothing but rapturous sighs for everything Selenko does!
