She is obviously a very versatile performer and her expression and gestures were very well placed.
It was was a very good piece....SHAME about the urge to show everyone how fast she can spin.
Why do some dancers think they will bore everyone unless they do some tricks??
what a pity!

I'm almost starting to think she has to do that to still be liked by the Russian general public or so

Perhaps so. Maybe our different cultures demand that we bring something from our own culture into the dance to make it more familiar and therefore acceptable.
We do it with food from other countries so perhaps the same is true of dance.
