https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yYwRDexKzY
These are the 11 Bolshoi Ballet Prima Ballerinas as listed in July 2017. I see that since I made this video about 2 weeks ago, Alexandrova & Kaptsova have moved from the list of Principals to the list of dancers "working under contract". Could someone please explain what "working under contract" means & why they have moved to this section? Please note that the list is in alphabetical order & that this is a tribute to the greatness of each ballerina. It is not meant as a critical comparison, so please bear this in mind when commenting. Here are the ballerinas in the order shown in this video:
1. Maria Alexandrova - Raymonda Variation - Raymonda Act I 0:15
2. Maria Allash - Queen Mekhmene Variation - A Legend of Love Act I 1:35
