Now & Then - Don Quixote Act 1 Kitri variation compilation - 1940s-2010s Kirov/MT (mostly)

Don Quixote compilations    • Don Quixote 'Now & Then' compilations  


The montage was planed only for Kirov/Mariinsky productions and dancers. Because of lack of early footage I also included early Bolshoi and Western excerpts. The Western Kitris aren't former Kirov dancers, but the productions are derived from Kirov's.

Tempo and type of movement changed slowly over the years as they crammed more and more steps into the first diagonal...

Same dancers as in the previous upload.
