She does something in the mad scene that no one does: Hilarion literally drags her like a ragdoll right before she runs to her mother. You have to see it.

Ballet dancers seem to want to float in the air for a length of time and this they may achieve through not allowing gravity to work on its own, but they restrain the final drop due to gravity or indeed control excessive deceleration and acceleration. Anna Nikulina is a brilliant dancer and the foot work in this video is such that gravity is not allowed to work so freely, nor the momentum destroyed too fast. There are only one or two occasions that I feel the action was a little too fast which introduced a little aggression rather than elegance or grace and that was at 0:13 and 0:25 where the drop could have been softened a little to make the action loner so more majestic. It seems that in ballet, the Achilles tendon must not be relaxed at all, and all vertical accelerations and deceleration must not be allowed to reach that of gravity working alone and the slow loss or destruction of momentum must be all due to the Achilles Tendon being used in variable tension all the time.
Again at 1:06 the Achilles Tendon seems to be too tight and not allowing enough resilience in the vertical drop making it look a little harsher than being elegant. Anna Nikulina is used to artists watching her, not scientists and mathematicians as they see her in an additional mathematical processing role rather than just being an emotional artistic. There is one good thing about scientist and mathematicians watching ballet dancing, at least they explain the contents they are analysing in a quantitative manner if one had the opportunity to allow sensors or image processing their advice would contain measured values . I shall proceed to study the relation between what is the mathematical operators of something being graceful, elegant, majestic, exciting. Till now one concludes that it all has to do with how far is the centre of curvature of the curve/trajectory from the curve itself and the contents of the higher order changes in a dynamic and a static and that includes the manner in which different colours are spaced beside each other or the same colour containing different hews of the same colour. Art can be measured in scientific and mathematical terms. The emotional factor is a result of how the rate of changes of curves and movements and colours and sounds are made by selecting what one places beside the other !!!
All dresses worn by Ballet dancers should have a multi resonating areas in them. This skirt selected in this video is a little stiffer than the yellow one with a short hem at the lower end where when she does that procedure at 1:14, the hem of her skirt resonated and gives a better effect. Ballet is not just body motion, but how the body motion sets into the motion the clothes worn. This skirt was a little too stiff and lightly starched from the look of it which decreased the flowing and resonating effects. In Ballet, science and engineering must be added to emotions and only working together the highers effects are reached.

Каждый раз удивляюсь, как Никулина в примы Большого попала. Не тянет она в одну компанию с Захаровой, Капцовой, Крысановой, Осиповой, Смирновой. При всё желании. В ведущие или первые солиистки было бы самое то. Но не в примы, увы.
