Gamzatti Variation 

Gamzatti Variation 

The Gamzatti variation from La Bayadère showcases regal strength, precision, and commanding artistry. Set within the opulent betrothal scene, it demands poise and authority balanced with refined femininity. The choreography features expansive jumps, crisp footwork, and beautifully controlled turns — all framed by elegant port de bras that project confidence and grace. Technically, it challenges the dancer’s stamina and stability, requiring clean placement, strong musicality, and the ability to maintain composure under intensity. Artistically, it’s a study in presence — expressing Gamzatti’s pride, determination, and emotional depth through power and polish.
