'Superstars of Dance' Semifinals

I made it to the semi finals on NBC's 'Superstars of Dance' as the ballet soloist on the Russian team! I got 63 points (9-9-9-9-9-9-9) :)

Next Monday (12th January) I'll be dancing the variation of Medora from Le Corsaire.

You were fabulous! I had to laugh at them giving you nines. You deserved far higher marks. Ballet is to dance what poetry is to written expression. You're the Elizabeth Barrett Browning of ballet. Go Maria!

You are a swan! Too bad for those idiot judges! A frog knows better than they do.

Shamelessly to say, I like you, very much:)

And Ballet is the only form that represents dance -a poetry in form, others are just craps.

And you are born for ballet! Your zodiac must be swan.

20 out of 10!

You are exquisite! I am from SF originally and was raised on ballet...they are so lucky to have you!!! I was watching the program on NBC and had to google what company you were with...naturally assumed Kirov or Bolshoi training...cheers, hope to see you perform live!

You were amazing! I loved your Medora variation; the pirouettes were just gorgeous. I still think you should've been scored higher, though.

Good luck; I'm sure you'll make the finals!

Maria. I did not know of you before Superstars of Dance. Now your ballet has been seen on a major TV network by millions.

After seeing your ballet performance, I thought about how this is the first time that I have seen ballet on a TV station other than on PBS. You were wonderful.

I am a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance. And now I am a huge fan of Superstars of Dance and of Maria Kochetkova.

Maria,

Вы - мояа любимая балерина. Как Вы, я очень миниатюрен, и Вы вдохновляете меня так. Прошлым летом, я пошел к Кировской Академии в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия для обучения Вагоновы.

You are incredible!!

Hi Maria and all dancers in San Fran. My name is Clare & I'm a dancer in the show Burn The Floor who is created by Jason Gilkison who is the Australian team captin on Super Stars of Dance. Giselle & Henry who are the Australian couple in the competition are also in the show. We have all realy enjoyed watching you and all of the wonderful varietys of cultures on the show. Burn the Floor is coming to San Fransico's Post Theatre in a week for a 6week stay and we would love you to come to see our show as we would love to come and see you in your next performance. I myself am ballet trained and have only been danceing latin since I joined the show in jan 2008 so for me watching a ballet would be an extra special treat, looking forward to meeting you,
