"I thoroughly enjoyed this candid view of these Russian superstars in preparation and performance. I was fascinated by the Russian dancers and how they applied their makeup and carried on in a scene where they just all tried to outdance each other after a performance. The views of them rehearsing outside with local people watching was the sort of thing I love to watch even more than actual performances because I like to see how they work on their craft. I was also impressed with the final product of their labors, especially of a rather modern pas de deux set to the music of the great church hymn, Crucifux, which I sang in church choir and loved to perform. If you like to view commentary-type DVDs, this one is for you."
