Choreographer Betina Popova expressed the opinion that dance duet programs Alexandra Stepanova And Ivan Boukine are currently the most notable in Russia.
On Sunday, Stepanova and Bukin won the duet dance competition on the Russian Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk, scoring 215.27 points for two dances. Elizaveta Shanaeva and Pavel Drozd finished second (196.12 points), Ekaterina Mironova and Evgeniy Ustenko completed the top three (182.96).
— I think that the programs of Sasha Stepanova and Ivan Bukin are currently the most striking. It seems to me that they have been performing at the highest level for many years, and we can say that Elizaveta Shanaeva and Pavel Drozd, who are in second place, are just beginning their professional careers. They became a couple not long ago and it will be difficult for them to reach the level of Stepanova and Bukin,” Popova said according to RT.
Stepanova and Bukin are two-time Russian champions, two-time silver and three-time bronze medalists at the European Championships.
