Wonderful, exact change in the correct moment...she is the dance warrior against a diabolic invasion, Olga is my heroine, brave woman and amazing ballerina, those attacks made her greatest, TRUE is always indestructible and Olga´s inner light will never destructed, of course,🥰💐💐💐💐🌹 anybody could destroy it!, BRAVA
Great dancer and a thoroughly charming person.
Thank you Graham for not asking political questions regarding Olga's move to Dutch National Ballet. Those are quite sensitive questions and Olga has been asked them over and over for 2 years. Each time she did an interview and got asked those questions again I rolled my eyes. I'm sure that was a tough decision for her and we should all let her look ahead.
Thank you for inviting this amazing guest!
Olga was always the top student, even when little. There are videos of her in class.
Loved this thank you !
Balanchine's 'Emerald' is a charming variation and Smirnova is quite gorgeous ❤! Her dress, combination colours of black and medium electric blue, is chic and fashionable ❤. I quite like Smirnova ❤. Thank you @ London Ballet Circle for sharing ❤😊.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
I yust whach this beautiful interview with Olga Smirnova and
Graham I as very beautiful and interesting she is a diamond
Ольга, мы Вас любим, как и раньше! Русские любители балета есть во всем мире!
Olga and Chudin in the "kiss" scene from "Beauty." Amazing. I believed every second of it.
3 minutes in, and the hosts are blah blah blah.
She is a champion of the west, for her stance on Putin.
Unfortunately she gets so much hate in Russia. There is such a shitstorm in Russian social media channels, she doesn’t deserve that. She is a wonderful dancer and a beautiful and eloquent woman. ❤
Ольга очень умна! Напомню, что она освоила трудную концепцию балета Орландо, по мотивам романа Вирджинии Вулф
Я считаю ее самой интересной балериной последних лет!
Она против войны. Это всё, что вам надо понимать.
Раньше о ней и слышно не было. Уехала и стали говорить. Неплохая балерина
