1. oh wow wow WOW!

Amazing dancer.

WHO IS SHE??

[RandomThoughts]

2. Is that CGI?

That site has a few CGI vids on it I have noticed.

3. No, it's not CGI

The dancer is very, very good, but all her moves are standard ballet moves--just done fast and in interesting combinations.

I actually prefer Svetlana Zakharova in this role though... more dramatic and, I don't know, softer or something. Maybe it's the different variations. I always seem to prefer the drama aspect over the physicality though....

Interesting comparison.

11. Thanks for the comparison videos.

Good seats, indeed! The dramatic aspects of Svetlana's performance are a little distracting for me.
