These are the 8 ballerinas of the Mariinsky Ballet as listed in August 2017. Although Lopatkina retired earlier this year, she is still listed as a principal on the Mariinsky's official website, so I hope she continues to dance. Please note that the list is in alphabetical order & that this is a tribute to the greatness of each ballerina. It is not meant as a critical comparison, so please bear this in mind when commenting. Here are the ballerinas in the order shown in this video:1. Ekaterina Kondaurova - In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated Solo 0:192. Ulyana Lopatkina - Nikiya Variation - La Bayadere Act I 2:163. Yulia Makhalina - Paquita Variation 4:134. Daria Pavlenko - Raymonda Variation - Raymonda Act III 6:175. Oxana Skorik - Giselle Variation - Giselle Act I 9:136.
