Throughout Act II (Giselle), Shirinkina was delicate, poised and graceful, offering steady high extensions and balanced control. She was truly ethereal – her soft, light technique, together with her floating tulle tarlatan, made it appear that she hardly touched the ground.

Maria Shirinkina in the title role as Cinderella danced with such feminine grace, that her fluid movements could be compared to that of silk blowing in the wind.
