this pair represents the true artistry of Mariinsky, staying in the role with seemingly effortless execusion. their lines are gorgeous and her speed is marvelous. it's a tragedy that Valeria was not the contestant of this concours.
@Joy Ong because this adagio is exceptional. in mariinsky theater, this part has 5 partners, one prince and 4 courtiers. Valeria and Alexey fabulously conveyed it to PdD without losing the dynamics of choreography. some lift should be done by 8 helping arms, her exceptional elevation and his composure could make it into this you've seen. it's admirable.
I'll never be able to understand how to do these dancers not to fall to the ground after dancing for half an hour without stopping anyway it's really beautiful
She is exquisite. He's good in the solo portions, but really needs to learn not to put his legs so far apart when he's lifting her. One of these days, one of his feet is going to slip and down they'll both go.

Valeria is the true star of this competition and Popov is very good.
Popov is a cat; he partners with intelligence with wonderful lines & musicality. Martynyuk is grace set to music. Bravo!

Very impressive performance. Valeria Martynyuk is really beautiful.

After the bows at 5:57 - 6:02, it was the 'coda' part of the dance.
I love it. But i am don't quite understand the 'bow' from 5:57-6:02.

She is divine but this not my favorite role for her.
They're trying too hard. Not much feeling. Feeling is what makes dancing define itself. Feelings = Dancing.
