Anna was the most graceful dancer I have ever seen. Her movements indicated do bones at all, simply lithe and sweeping movements.Written on Feb 18 2008

Program B (Friday, February 15 - Sunday, February 17):
Giselle (featuring Nina Ananiashvili on February 16 only)
Considered by many to be the most important ballerina of her generation, celebrated Bolshoi and American Ballet Theatre star Nina Ananiashvili is also making international dance headlines these days for her bold artistic direction of a new world-class ballet company: the State Ballet of Georgia. Posing a serious challenge to Moscow's traditional artistic dominance in dance, the ensemble makes its West Coast debut at Cal Performances.
Ananiashvili herself will perform the title role (February 16 only) in one of the most beloved ballets of all time, Giselle. And, on Valentine's Day, she performs in a mixed repertory program featuring the American premiere of a new ballet by Yuri Possokhov, San Francisco Ballet's choreographer-in-residence (and former Bolshoi principal); the American premiere of a new work by the Bolshoi's Aleksei Ratmansky; plus two classic works by ballet legend George Balanchine.
