Dance: Polina Semionova with American Ballet Theater in Don Quixote, May 27, 2013

Found online:

"Based on Miguel de Cervantes' sweeping tale of romance and chivalry, the knight-errant of la Mancha, Don Quixote, and his devoted squire, Sancho Panza, are positively heroic when it comes to aiding the spirited maiden Kitri and her charming amour. From the bravura dancing of the fiery toreador Espada to the colorful caravan of gypsies, the stage explodes with one show-stopping performance after another in this feast of choreographic fireworks."

Here is a review from the New York Times of her performance in 2011.
