ballet talisman variation Victoria Luchkina

[AndDanielaSays]

It almost looks... clumsy.

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

Her legs and feet are very pretty. Where is she now? she is a very good dancer for the most part.

[balllerina1999]

What ballet is variation talisman in

[Ballerina0303]

i like emily kadow's verision better

[austXXdinkY]

longest arms... EVER.

[voldemortrules101]

It always seemed like she was at least a beat behind the music. But great technique. Personally, I wouldn't have pulled it off. : )

[KalexCullen]

WOW! You're awesome!

[Tap1Snap1]

it seemed kinda of plain to me... u r a great dancer, its just when you perform, you have to present yourself. Great job though!

[tasumarin]

大好きな曲＆踊りです!!

[Marianinhaa1000]

love the dress :D and she's beautiful!

[balletbunhead777]

i prefer emily kadow

[bananafoun]

Please, tell me, where i can get this music?

[da1berrys]

that was good. u worked those pointe shoes like ballet slippers!!! but in your pirrouettes(idk how to spell that rite now. my brain isnt working.lol)ur foot shouldnt be past your knee!!

[vaganovaballerina1]

there are different ways to do pirouettes. many dancers do them past the knee

[voldemortrules101]

@vaganovaballerina1 I tend to end my double pirouettes on the ground. ; )

[liiiiieh]

I just think that she was not soft. Her movements were a little bit rude, and this variation needs the most soft movements. However, amazing technique!

[Bwwbe]

very good dancer, in this stage of development.

[jessDance00]

@liiiiieh absolutely right .. i prefer alexandrova's

[maisumnomundo]

I love her, just dont like the arms in the end, but that's how the variation is...

[luv2dnc8509]

Those weren't bourees going backward anyway......

[sxydancrbabe]

pointe shoes should be soft for some variations and clearly she was not supposed to be on pointe for those bourrees. also i dont think the arabesque need to be square for this

[peace3love87]

I think some of the comments made are very harsh i think her bourrée in this video going back should not be on point. She danced perfect. she got over her box and her shoes should me soft for this dance.

[aarmvl]

that bourre would have looked better if she did it on points (0:58) , her arabesque didn't look square enough or maybe it was because of her costume, she's good though

[BalletCava]

She's got amazing technique and I love the way she expresses her head movements by tilting. I'm doing this variation- it's so fun!

[amandajustdancin]

her shoes look very soft, like she has a hard time getting over her box.

[ilovedogs75489]

short but sweet!

[Danzersss91]

she doesnt look like she is over hte shoe very well :/ but she is lovely

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

I didn't like that variation at all. She was lovely - can't fault her clean technique whatsoever, but the steps she had to perform to that ghastly music...poor girl.

[lar8200]

yah im not a huge fan of this variation, nothing against the dancer she was beautiful

[mrlopez2681]

Ghastly music? Are you serious? The music is divine as a straight pizzicato. The choreography is ghastly.

[DancingGirl4ever]

the variation isn't that hard! i danced it and it wasn't the hardest to dance! of course it's not easy, but ballet isn't supposed to be easy! plus i think that this dancer is amazing. her technique is very good!

[boylikestodance]

that is an odd varition.

bordering on the ridiculous.

dancer aside...

bad solo.

[msosa721]

i agree. I think she did it remarkably well considering the freakish difficulty of the steps.

[ABTBluebird]

well her back is always arched back.

[BillyElliotLover96]

probably better than me, but is it just me thinking that she is always off balance?

[rizzo1114]

I was thinking that, but she really counterbalanced her weight well from 1:00 to 1:14

[thesassycynic]

It's probably because her shoes are dead or dying. That's what it looks like to me.

[bronzeidol]

her thin arms make quite an ugly aesthetic and her flopping elbows and broken wrists do not help. the arms need to be more fluid

[ROCKSCHOOLKID]

that's really rude, there's a difference between saying you wish her arms were more fluid and saying that her arms are ugly. she can't help that!

[ROCKSCHOOLKID]

and.. her arms are NOT ugly.

[sailalyss]

those arms were choreographed

that is the style of the variation

[sailalyss]

the arms on this variation are supposed to be broken at the wrists that is how it was choreographed.

look up any other version of this variation on this site; they all have their arms that way specifically

[anonymousmariposa]

very charming but i feel like she could display her arms more too...they are really long, i mean she could do so much with them

[orangeblueandlavenda]

i have really long armsd too - find i have to showcase them more - maybe she could try more shoulder accents, etc.

[orangeblueandlavenda]

uu-she flys backwards :)

[souriceau02]

She is very "gracieuse" it s wonderfull !

[crisallys]

omg, this is not talisman

it's beautiful but it's diferent a lot

great variation, anyway

[champajandyramaciel]

She has a beautiful line in all her extensions. Just goes to show that beauty doesn't mean behind your ear...that's a bonus!!!!

[lilpinai1610]

In some of the turns at the beginning it looks as if she is gonna fall, but she has good contro and stops herself at the right time.

[gothlolidoll]

the hands are part of the choreo, genious.

[tinyswan2007]

doesnt mean she cant make them pretty. they were all spastic

[adballet]

I agree those arms are better looking with a classicl tutu. If you look, she never upsets the invisible tutu. But Russian arms doesn't allow for all over the place. The arm positions are set just like the legs.

About the back. All Russian dancers have an arched back.

[horowitz4family]

need improvement. In the end attitudes her hands look like a cockroach's legs when it falls on its back!. But she does have really nice feet.

[firefly4tori]

Quite unique....her arms are as long as her legs...but, gives a sense of "style" to the piece.

[impurrfect1]

She has very long arms.

[FeySylph]

Very nice - there is just something about her arms though, or the wrists. Otherwise, it is a difficult variation and she pulled it off well.

[ballet23]

I agree something was funky with her arms

[enigmaticpheo]

Very pretty! Her lines look fantastic in this variation.
