Alena Kostornaia

[chopinskate]

No, I don't think she's balletic. I'd classify her as more of a contemporary style skater.

Alena is Carmen! Her EX I like best.

 

[Azikin]

I definitely don't see her as ballet type..

 

[elbkup]

Regardless of tutus, do you think that a ballet program would work well for Alena or not? For some reason, I don't see her as the ballet type but I'm not sure if that's an opinion with any real substance to it, that's just the feeling I get. Because of that, I agree - But for a ballet program, I definitely would like a tutu.

I think Alena could do ballet beautifully but not exclusively...
An example is (this very dated film from the 1960's... sorry..) Suzanne Farrell's Don Quixote 'Dream Sequence' solo... I thought of Suzanne right away during Alena's FS because of the beautiful arm, head, upper torso movements. Not sure about skating to this music but I would love to see her try!! Bonus: Not a tutu in sight!!

She is definitely not a balletic type of skater. I actually can't think of any other decent balletic-type skater in Russia right now except Alina. May be Tsurskaya or Sotskova..

Mhm, that's how I feel about Alena as well. Not quite the ballet dancing style.

For Russian ladies who've properly done ballet dancing(As a real, serious hobby and not just to prepare for a program or two), Alexandra Proklova immediately comes to mind. Veronika Zhilina as well, although she's only 10. Sotskova does ballet programs but I definitely don't see that in her.

I also don't see Alena as balletic at all! I'd like her to stick to contemporary\latin

I think Anna Shcherbakova is the most suitable for the ballet type.

So did anyone guess her program from ask.fm? I wouldn't mind a compilation of game of thrones dragon themes by the way.

Yes, someone did but she still keeps the correct answer in secret, i.e. this person doesn't know that his/her attempt to guess was successful.

In most cases they use word "program" only, without clarification SP or FS, and as I can understand SP uses music from a Russian movie and connected with something flying but not animal (aircraft? ). FS uses classic music (not tango, without violin or organ, not Swan Lake, not Ride of the Valkyries).

As most have said, i also don't see Alena doing some balletic programs.

This reminds me Enya, and it already came to my mind that Enya could be proper music for her

 

[j00mla]

Top Gun ??
it's not Russian at all

Mimino ??

I think it's too slow https://youtu.be/_5fns2_wa3o?t=12

but if they choose alternate version https://youtu.be/jIqgBR8Kb58?t=35 sure they will not

Pic with Eteri and Daniil and also Daniil describes her programs.

Leftovers SP and R&J FS, I gather? I like both choices assuming the cuts are good, I think they should suit her very well.

 

[yoloaxel]

Im so excited for her programs!!!!

 

[IndiaP12]

Im so excited for her programs!!!!

Me too! They sound like very good choices for her and I like the music. Daniil doesn’t disappoint, I’m sure her programs will be beautiful and I can’t wait to see her perform them this season [emoji7]

Thanks for link, that came in right time. Well she will be Juliet in free, could it be on Prokofiev's music? I know, no ballet, but what else comes into consideration?
