francesca dugarte, black swan fouettes

[Monsonclan]

Excellent!



[Henri345]

She's amazing!!!

[balletgurly]

Incredible !!!

[loved2bethin]

The perfect dancer wouldn't move while turning, but there is no such thing as a perfect dancer, but if there were... she'd be a perfect dancer. That was amazing.

[bltdncr]

oh dang. jealous? i think so. :) that was AMAZING GIRL!

[kleisrondd]

her fouettes were pretty good but her hands ruined it.

[NumNuum]

Holy crap!

[mika2864]

great!

[nevroth]

What is she grabbing? lol, super amazing, though it didn't quite fit musicality. I think it might have been the camera angle, since it looks like her leg is turned in when she's in 2nd and coming back to passe, pause at 0:21. She definitely earned all those awards.

[SimplyMovement]

Watch your hands :D

[kharllospotter]

maravilhosa!



[HYPERYUKO]

Amezing!!! from japan

[ravegods]

Holy smokes! Did you see that first pirouette? O.o She's like a top!

[TheDancerina]

the turns were amazing, but her HANDS.. terrible! a lot of people can actually turn as good as that, but what very few can do is to be able to turn like that and still have beautiful arms and hands.. wich she hasn't!

[TheLostBadMe]

wow the turns are amazzzzing *-* my hands are that bad too :D

[mbggbm1]

terribel hands!!!! :s

[NeverFadingMe]

Terrible arms.

[GosfordAbercrombie]

center is exquisite!

[thefourandonly1]

WOWWWWWWWW

thats was....reallly..AMAZING

Her arms of course, were "swimming" but that was really good 8D 8D

I like the skirt too =D

[Emzfit]

awesome!!

[GennaroBallero93]

Nice, a little traveley, but they were still pretty

[GigiBizzy]

PERFECT!!! Oh my Gosh!!!!!!!

[lorraineweyyenn]

I want to be able to do those turns EVEN IF MY HANDS WERE LIKE THAT!

[iceballerina88]

look at her feet.... gorgeous, that beats most girls I've seen so far! and extremely gracious!!!!!

[L3t1t8e]

Beautifully orchestrated...And I'm not even a dancer!

[narcie13]

i'd rather see nice arms that aren't grabbing the air than 7 pirouettes

[TheNicolettTano]

wow ! amazing

[acure4theitch]

Her arms hummm ugh!

[colorsilk30]

at the beginning, her arms don't look up to par, but as she keeps going, she corrects them. Amazing talent

[likay91]

perfect



[oElrica]

amazing control!!!

i wish i'm like her

well some ballet school teach their students to bring in their arms in so that they'll be able to get more stability and control and preciseness in their turn it helps to get it done easier

you should realize it when you see all the ice scatter do that

but ya... i know in ballet we should do it in proper 1st position

still she's awesome!!!

[NinisJonas]

AMAZING!

[mjjfan082958]

Wow that was amazing! Loved it :)

[DunBitch]

Great beggining !!!

[issyballet95]

Awesome fouettes, horrible hands. Awesome fouettes though. Still, the hands were a minus point.

[IndiaHicks1]

Yeah I give her that but when your fouettes are perfect like hers your whole body has to be right.Even the arms. As my teacher says without the head,shoulder movement,and arms if you leave something out the step is wrong.

[eshtein]

oh my god what a legend :)

[emo2theheart]

Im sorry but the arms killed it!! It doesnt matter if you can do 10 pirouttes, arms are the life force of ballet.

[dancerers12]

but people dont understand that there are people who can do great pirouettes, but suck at anything else. i dont know about this girl but I have seen lots and lots of people who do amazing pirouettes and who can not make a simple variation beautiful .

[SammiaMei]

beautiful and amazing, but her hands are just bringing it down i abit if you get me. But one of the best ive seen.

[rollinlieksushi]

umm beautiful. gillian murphy wuld b so proud ;)

[loveapple27]

doesn't anybody tell her that her arms are...?

[Leonnidik]

The accents are missing. Watch Alonso 1968 black swan.

[rmnfrey]

fucking amazing!

[gioland71]

Wow, you're a a real turner! Remind me of the young Katherine Healy... Congrats on your achievements!!!

[anthonyballet]

fantastic!!!!!!!!! (but bad arms!!)

[wearebanb]

Beautiful!! Such a wonderful understanding of her center. Very talented dancer. Best of luck.

[likeafirstday]

arms are ?? she has to work on ...

[kellykballerina]

amazing! thats natural talent right there! I wish I could turn like that!

[TheDafne09]

very very good....

[jalbarker]

SHE BETTER WORK! I don't care what her arms were doing! Very few people can do fouettes like that, not to mention the SEVEN pirouette preparation!

[RiemannBernhard]

@jalbarker they are 9

[iluvpixystix]

good but her arms were doing like, a weird scooping motion and keeping one arm rounded her turns were good but she needs to work on her arms

[balletgymstar]

@iluvpixystix BUT LIKE UCOULD DO THAT, THAT WELL!

[taurusbs]

Wonderful fouettès even if I would prefer regular series !

[Hausisse]

Beautiful indeed.

[hballerina]

In the beginning I thought you were just going to keep turning!

Great job! :]

[MsILoveJesus]

muy bien felicitaciones! llegaras lejos, continua así!!!! :)

[tedsler]

i am officially impressed, takes a lot nowadays to do that so, i take my hat and bow to the floor. those fouettés were great!

[deppHEARTme]

WOW

AMAZING control and lovely technique.

i agree with thedancefreak though, she could've used her head a bit more but still she is absolutely beautiful!!

[thedancefreak]

That was good but her spot could have been better. If you really look at it she's not really turning her head enough. If she spotted more she wouldn't have moved at all.

[roberta251094]

wow *_* stupendaaa

[Amy92x]

great control...even at the end

[palomaherrera]

te faalta fuerza cariño....

[47cookiesmileydog13]

:o :o :o

[XballerinaXbgrlX123]

AWESUM!!!!!!!!!! u seem 2 turn FOREVER!!!

[urranuss]

but can you do it on stage???

[hulaxhoops]

wow thats. wow. amazing.

you make it look so damn easy.

[neer888]

es increible! pero las manos podrian mejorarse.

[Arteumana]

fantastico

[DivineDream0814]

Absolutely Stunning!!! Well Done, Bravo!!

[Lillunja]

amazing but out of music...

[LePetitDanseur2010]

those were very nice and controlled!

but her hands were doin' something funny...

[debellis]

very good!!!! This is a good control!

[houria67]

c'est magnifique mais dommage ce qu'elle fais avec ces mains...

[mmppbailarina]

amazing!

[danceindesigner]

very nice. i would suggest looking at your fingers in this clip, because that in one of the make or break things in fouettes. please do not travel in your fouettes if there is one thing i have learned in teaching 57 years it is in fouettes you cant ever travel that is what will make you look acquit.

[ididntdoit05]

Do you not realize how near to impossible it is to NOT travel? Even the professionals travel a little! It's very natural! Of course you want to travel as little as possible, but expecting absolute perfection, and stationary fouettes, is ridiculous.

And what does, "make you look acquit" mean, anyway?

[GinniatheZinnia]

You're that same person who told that girl in the other fouette video that she was fat, aren't you? And you're just bluffing you haven't really been in dance for 57 years. You should go get a life.

[krizzomyshizzo]

great technique and very nice but i don't like her arms....

[xXAltoGirlXx]

okay...several things to say:

1-MADAMEOCTA07 i am with you all the way =D

2-brewskyxxx if she is thick, then i'm a freaking COW...and, my ballet instructor says i have an almost ideal ballet body...(the exception is my asthma not my body btw)

3-bRuNn3tt3 i totally couldn't agree more =)

[hinataZame]

wOw.!

[MADAMEOCTA07]

im so jelous...i cant even do a pirouette...let alone a fouette my mum and i never could...she makes it look so easy :L i know they are supposed to btw

[eqchic319]

me too =/ I can't land my triple pirouettes and these are definately my worst enemy

[MADAMEOCTA07]

hah i cant even do one :L id love to be able to do triples ... =[ and tips?

[eqchic319]

I just make a double. I get too dizzy quickly, leaps are my thing. And no sorry =( just practice. and concentrating on keeping your spot if nothing else, that's most important, keep your body pulled up straight and your foot at your knee And depending on the person, it may be easier for you to nail them traveling across the floor if you know what i mean, but I practice them center floor. AND lastly, if u practice in front of a mirror that always helps so you can spot yourself.

[MADAMEOCTA07]

Cheers lovely...im terrible at pirouettes i can travel them on pointe across th room i cant remember what they r called though....but ty i shall try =] x

[eqchic319]

yes I meant traveling as in pull (R) step step

pull (L) step prep turn. I really love pointe, it comes easier to me ^_^

good luck =)

[balletphanatic]

amazing!

[patadganso]

que ?????????????????????

[gym22]

finalmente sono riuscita a vederti!semplicemente fantastica,fare i fouettè rimane uno dei miei sogni! in bocca al lupo per tutto amica, èstato un piacere lavorare insieme.ada

[brewskyxxx]

I think she looks a little thick in the torso area. She really needs to work on that. Please don't take it offensively. I bet if you can thin that area out you will turn faster and much more smoother!!

[ballet81895]

You are kidding, right?

She is a PRINCIPLE DANCER!!!

Look her up...

[bRuNn3tt3]

Okay, first of all, your grammar is HIDEOUS. Also, we have enough problems with controlling weight in the ballet world. I don't think we need any ignorant people criticizing dancers who can actually complete the steps and look beautiful doing it.

[strangesugarfairy]

omg you're soooo obviously just envious. get a life.

[ballet81895]

I can only start with a triple...

[dtadancer95]

WOW

SEVEN PIRROUETTES

IN THE BEGINNING

AMAZING

i can only do five

but her double fouettes were very good

=-)

[caylorbaylor]

ohmygosh, that was seriously AMAZING.

[LePetitDanseur2010]

lol she could give adeline pastor a run for her money. =D those were phenominal.

[fabballerina]

yeah, but not katherine healy

[LePetitDanseur2010]

i'll have to take a look at katherine's then. =)

[patheticmery]

amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing­!!!

[springkay]

gossssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh she ite WOT!! no way shessss grateeeee BOM!!!!!!! its people like her dat wanna make people do even better i hope she keep it up.

[thexcodexofxvulgar]

omg

[AnnieFernandez88]

Well she was 17 in this video, shes 19 right now, just turned 19... and yes she wears gaynor... shes amazing... sooo amazing!! viva el talento venezolano!

[strangesugarfairy]

[cookiemonster158]

[tinymavy]

Just amazing. i love the control! and she stays in the SAME SPOT! WOW!!!!!!

[rrrm95]

espectacular!

[lalalaeo]

9.9

[dancer021756]

don't twist your body, to pull urself around. it distracting

[yorkiegilr159]

these are EXTREMEMLY good. the only thing is that i find myself watching your hands because you are moving them like you are grabbing something... i dunno its a bit distracting. just try to keep your hand from moving so much. the beginning multi pirouettes were perfect. excelent

[crazyzaclover101]

oh yea and her hands are weird when she opens them and she travels alot and she opens her legs on an angel.

[crazyzaclover101]

her shoulders tend to rise up and yea she doesnt spot i mean yea her legs are fine but her upper body is kind of awkward!

[dancer021756]

spot!

[PIXDANCER]

Thats excelent!...except a bit for the hands that seems like u shake them to impulse yourself, besides thats is almost perfect:)

[HouseSwallow1]

All I can say is beautiful and..WOW!

[0twinkletoes6xx]

whoever u r u r so good! im a dancer too!

[Timmehboi]

amazing, wow. AMAZING.

[danzatore90]

eccezionale

[BostonBalletx3]

amaazingg techniquee so many turnss! bright future<3

[justdreamanddance]

[MyLifeEnPointe]

You impress me!!! GREAT JOB!

[cwc100]

That was great!

[nnadda]

i like her when she does the 1st 5 or 6 continous burruettes .. pretty good

[gabolita]

Con semejantes pies le ayudan mucho!

[xeucalyptus]

Elle n'a pas l'air d'écouter la musique. C'est bizarre.

[mydiorella]

Does she hear the music? Because she's not on time with it!

This is pretty bad!

[Ninjerina]

sometimes the sound on youtube isn't synced up with the video properly. Man, I got dizzy just watching that! I was never good at spotting...

[mydiorella]

Yeah, I don't know why youtube does that. It happened with one or two of my videos. And I see a lot, like Sylvie guillem's Raymonda variation, the sound is off a little

[paperjuicebox]

OH WOW <3

how does she do that? that like . . . doesn't look real D;

[oripin12]

wiiiii!!!! francesca eres lo maximooo!!!!

[damai82]

i like it!!!!!

Perfect.

Good Luck

[BryndisSnae]

PERFECT!

[dance1962]

Es sorprendente, no muchas bailarinas logran una tecnica como la de ella, felicitaciones de nuevo

[quintajoya]

envidiosos, esta muchacha baila como las grandes, que tecnica, que giros, que linea. Ella esta destinada a ser de las mas grandes del siglo XXI, Si va a La Habana le pone el picao malo a las cubanas....Eres fabulosa, y todo te parece tan facil...

[lizdancer10]

Chama espectacular!!!

[coloratura1510]

Chama espectacular!!! te deseo lo mejor,que continues bailando asi de bello ,muchas felicitaciones!!

Y que Viva Venezuela!! Bravo Francesca!

[wvballetdancer]

omg amazing!!!!!!!

[eliromano]

wow!! demasiado bella! bailas finisimo! me encanta!

[ojoavizor32]

giros inicial y final que sorprenden porq son pocas las bailarinas "pirueteras"...atencion a las manos, a cada giro las mueve como si estuviera bailando "español"; y son pocos los fouettes que ejecuta en el video como para perder el eje y moverse del lugar...un acierto tecnico, eso si, es que coloca muy bien los brazos en primera posicion al momento de hacer el giro inicial, lo q le provee un impulso optimo (cuando se domina esta tecnica) para las piruetas multiples...

[CrystalineEyes]

Espectacular!!!

[Mya1703]

keka you rock girl!!!!! te pasas con esas 7 piruettes jajajaja q abusooooooo pero te amo igual nena!!! jaja

[aledugarte]

wow keks eres lo mejor!! aki le he mostrado a toooodooo el mundo este video! y digo "ESA ES MI HERMANA!!!" y todo el mundo asi!! :O:O eres GENIAL!

[fanfoon29]

uggghhhh shes not turning with the music, shes doing double when shes suppose to do single, and shes doing single wen shes suposed to do double, but other than that shes ssooooo good shes great

[osbourna]

yea go try to start your fouettes with 7 (or 8?) turns, you are jealous!!!!

[Jonskydancing]

Wow hacia tiempo que yo no te veia bailar ! Te vez mejor que nunca technicamente felicidades!
