The following month, she was in Beijing, partnered by the Bolshoi's principal dancer Semyon Chudin, performing Grand Pas Classique (choreography by V. Gsovsky) to music by the 19th century French composer Daniel Auber.

Her repertoire also includes Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, Anastasia in Ivan the Terrible, Terpischore in Balanchine's Apollo, and Marguerite in John Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias.

He described her physique as: "Long-limbed, with a swan-like neck, superbly pliant spine and ravishing, sway-back classical line, she also has the agility of a soubrette.

Her arms ripple with an unmistakably Russian, lighter-than-air lyricism, yet her soaring, apparently preparation-free jump, which heightens the impression of buoyancy, also suggests great muscular strength."

"[1] Commenting on her performance in Diamonds (August 2013), Luke Jennings of The Observer characterizes her as "the physically perfect instrument of her art form", revealing his enthusiasm for her pas de deux with Semyon Chudin at the Royal Opera House.

[6] The enthusiasm was reflected by Clement Crisp of the Financial Times[7] while Zoë Anderson of The Independent was impressed by her performance of Nikiya in La Bayadère in which she "carried the story with aplomb".
