| From her 4th year to her 7 th year, Alina Somova was no longer the shortest girl in class and was possibly the 2nd tallest girl in class. The tallest girl is Elena Vostrotina, who is in the center of the second group. Vostrotina had a brilliant future at Mariinsky, but like a few others, such as Olga Yesina and Maria Yakovleva, both going to Vienna, Elena left the Mariinsky. Elena went to Dresden, which has 2 ex-Mariinsky ballerinas as principals, Natalia Sologub and Olga Melnikova. For those who enjoy Alina's extension, you will enjoy Vostrotina's extension. For those who hate big extension, you can complain about two ballerinas. |
