The headline of the article I've read is 'Mikhailovsky Ballet - the St Petersburg company wows Manhattan'. The article is written by Luke Jennings and it was published in The Gardian, 23 November. The main idea of the article is that The Mikhalovsky Ballet of St Petersburg makes its US debut enchanting the audiens by refined technique and insouciant star turns.

The author starts by telling the reader that the company was relaunched in 2007 by a colourful figure, Vladimir Kekhelman, and since then he has steered the Milhailovsky Ballet with a steady hand.
Luke Jennings points out that the company is well regarded at home, in London and New Yorl now with the help of the ballet master Mikhail Messerer, building a unique repertoire, and such star dancers as Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev.

The article goes on to say that the three week tour opened on 11 November with the mission to resurrect lost or neglected ballets of the 19th century and the communist era and let the audience take pleasure of the dancers' impossible speed, elegant circuit of flying turns and impeccablу musical performances, in general.
The author comes to the conclusion that Russian ballet is no longer just about the Bolshoi and the Mriinsky.

Russian ballet unique in everything: moves, techiques, music and of course, the beauty of ballet dancers.
