[sashakeft1]

Alina Cojocaru is the best thing that's ever happened to ballet!

[RussianBalletFan22]

[musicballet]

[danceizmyworld]

I LOVE her pique turns:)  And 2:20...love that part, too.

[SuperBalletgirl101]

Amazing. I couldn't belive she could be so great in EVERY role. Even a flirtatious Spainard. So different from the roles she really known for Giselle, Aurora....

[nicolezly]

i LOVE Alina. she may be too sweet for a sultry vulgar spanish woman, but the playfulness is adorable! absolutely enjoyable!!

[kfmcmahon]

I thought she wouldn't be that great but I was soooo wrong. Haha

[BalletGirl09]

[Kata397533]

alina totally captures kitri's fiery personality. i love how she commands the stage!!!

[88888Di88888]

i love her "get the f*ck out of my way" look at 0:25!!! i'd be scared if she looks at me that way :P

[looovecats]

They are nice couple but for me she is too sweet and innocent to be Kitri.

[baferlet]

la amo en todos los estilos y roles!!1

[TheSballerina]

are they a couple?

[goddessaedos]

Yeap :]

[mattsheldonlovesdanc]

yess:)

[MorganoftheFaeries]

I was about to remark "They're so adorable together!" but then I realized that everyone else was thinking the same thing. Oh well ;D

[Kiarpb]

my god, is she Cojocaru? That's why I love her: she's great in EVERY style: don quixote, la fille mal gardee...

[88888Di88888]

and her giselle is THE BEST!

[tutugirl4life]

I can just never get enough of them!

[balletbunhead777]

[tutugirl4life]

They are the cutest!!

[noravilla]

I love them, they are so great in their interpretation of their roles, they make you feel you are with them!!!

She's a great dancer and artist and she will be one of the few as a start!!!

[trondergirl]

Too bad this video is so distorted and in such poor resolution. It would be great to see a cleaner version.

[LifeResort]

beautiful alina cojocaru

[ballettina]

they're so so gooood. j'adore alina!!

[SilverInsanity]

Cojocaru seems more happy than a flirt-ish person...

[todanceXtolive]

Hahaha.. definitely.

[nanou69]

Ce couple de danseurs est fabuleux !

[aharper12]

alina is gorgeous. I wanted to see her variation with the back attitude jumbs and the pirouettes from fifth. I love alina's legs and feet.

[magicalgrasshopper]

it realy helps if the dancers are in love and are a couple in real life like johan and alina,its makes their partnership very emoional,and their acting and passion is so much more sincere

[evogliodire]

bellissimi..

[Clockmouth]

i lvoe the chemistry between these two- its soo fun! shes sooo flirtatious!

[TheRealKookie00]

I think they act quite well. Especially Alina she's a beautiful perfect Kitri, when I see her perform don quixote she IS Kitri,but hey that's just my opinion.

[LightSpirit06]

You're absolutely right! She IS Kitri! And Johan is just superb as Basilio!

[poursuivant1]

Funny how we all respond differently. Personally, Zakharova strikes me as being mostly technique. A slicker packaging maybe but not very satisfying. Maybe Cojocaru and Kobborg's acting here is not as big, or obvious, as some might like, but I find their subtle glances and smiles much more interesting.

I say don't plaster over what seems to be their genuine happiness at dancing together with generic pasted on smiles and by-the-book acting.

[LightSpirit06]

Hey watch what you're saying - their acting is perfect here, it's what you'd often get from a real-life couple! Their portrayals of Kitri and Basilio are brilliant!!

[valeriefoucachon]

I love the way Alina and Johan are so dramatic, yet so lively! They are my favorite dancers!!!

[LightSpirit06]

Alina and Johan are the BEST!!

[connitacoi]

but alina and johan are from the royal ballet..

[SilverInsanity]

It's for a Gala; they flew somewhere to dance.

[jamsmen]

It is Bolshoi

[rolo1234567890]

Here, Alina Cojocaru's technique is quite unpolished and her acting performance is quite dry. Having watched Don Quixote by Svetlana Zakharova and Andrei Uvarov for anyone both Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg would seem less professional, wabbly, slow in their pad-de-deux technique, less emotional in acting and generally 'leave much to be desired'. It is quite modest performance by Royal Ballet company.

[selfreflectionII]

...it's not the Royal Ballet Company...

[genzano]

It seems to be Bolshoi's set.

[besplendidly]

and technique isnt everything.....i think she is wonderful.

[LightSpirit06]

Hey watch it buster!! Nobody talks about Johan and Alina like that!!! They are wonderful dancers and their performance here is fantastic!! So watch how you talk about them and for your information, they've danced in ballets where the choreography is very, very hard! Way harder than any choreography that Zakharova and Uvarov have danced I'm sure!

[magicalgrasshopper]

i dont know what planet you come from,but alina,(along with bussel,guillem and vishneva) is quite possibly the greatest

dancer of this generation.her technique is FLAWLESS!!!i thought their pefromance was outstanding
