Leonid Sarafanov Don Quixote Solos

The Don Quixote wedding Grand Pas de Deux is an iconic segment featured in many galas, mixed rep productions, and competitions. Solos from this pas de deux are how many classical ballet dancers are measured in the eyes of the ballet world as careers are made from this dance. In this video, I present an analysis from one of my favorite Don Quixote video performances from the Mariinsky Ballet’s Leonid Sarafanov from 2006. His three solos are stunning with stellar leaps, intricate turns, gorgeous extension, all done with impeccable technique and form.
