Sergei Polunin Comparison // 'NUTCRACKER' Solo Variation // Student (age 16) and Principal (age 24)

Comparison between Sergei Polunin's (Сергей Полунин) ballet performance as a 16 year-old student at the Youth America Grand Prix in 2006 (which Sergei won that year) and as a Principal dancer with the Stanislavsky ballet at age 24. The performance is a solo variation from "The Nutcracker" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This comparison was created for fun and to appreciate the growth of a ballet dancer's skills and technique over the years.
