“Issaev's genius and teaching/directing shows through in his dancers,…The entire dance team is a reflection of the notable precision and classical dance beauty for which Issaev has few equivalents."
Ron Levitt, Contributing writer for Entertainment News and Views

“Indeed Issaev’s sweeping choreography for this episode recalled the work of the great Russian choreographer Leonid Lavrovsky. Memorable moments like this are what ballet is all about. Issaev’s family spectacle proved a real winner.”
