Yuria Bolshakova - Princess Florine

[makingpeoplelaugh]

Usually I don't like when dancers have such tiny legs. But hers are very beautiful. She is a gorgeous dancer. And did very well in this part.

[waitszlee]

two longggggg legs!!



[Tamarindi8]

So preety!

[hechen96]

the most beautiful version of the bluebird variation EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[LetsDanceInTheSky]

What a graceful dancer! :)

[ondinedancer]

The production is so diferent! i loved her tutu!

[dancingrl5678]

0:43 lalala

[dancingrl5678]

i wish i could see her face to face and tell her how much her hard work and dedication is appreciated <3

[MormonBallerina]

So gorgeous! She's really tall, too!

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

prefer zakharova's version, but i prefer this costume. :)

[misslollypopgirly]

I love this variation!! i'm doing this version for my schools show but i'm not nearly as good as this girl :P

[loReeBaLletera]

she is so looooong!!!! la amooo!!

[fullmoonglare]

stunning! I would have been so dizzy at the end, haha.

[IndiaHicks1]

She's amazing but i'm sorry but that tutu is to to to big.ITuts in my opinion are suppose to not to big but not to small.medium.

[TheHQueen]

This is not princess florine this is blue bird!!!

[123BALLET321]

ok the story behind this pas de duex is based on a old fairy tale under the guidlines that that a blue bird is teaching is teaching princess florine how to fly so she can escape from her castle and this is the princess florine variation from the blue bird pas de deux from the sleeping beauty

[superduperandie]

@TheHQueen the blue bird IS Princess Florine.

[Rafaericky]

meu sonho dançar assim!!!!!! Perfeitoooo!

[ballarinamom1]

I love this variation of Princess Florine

[pblandon]

I DON'T LIKE HER COSTUME.

[Vivorta10]

@pblandon yes I agree. it's very strange it's suppose to represent a bird ! I prefer the Paris' costume =)

[nutckrackerlover]

ive never seen a pirouette inbetween the eshapper, personally i find it makes the arebesque off the music. but the dancer did her job and was amazing, i dont know who the choreographer is thoughh

[aikochan29]

i've never seen a bluebird variation with a pirouette in between the eshappe, but its interesting

[huixue]

@aikochan29 this isn't the bluebird variation

[aikochan29]

@huixue oh yeah, sorry I just always remember that princess Florine is with the bluebird. my bad.

[dancecrazy3456]

She's pretty good. How old is she?

[Bumblebeeballerina]

This version is very different from anything I've ever seen but I agree that she has a beautiful grace; her upper body is very nice.

[Luchamy]

who is the coreogepher??

[yanisericfilm]

@Luchamy Marius Petipa

[likeafirstday]

:/ sorryy

[Nath1001]

she is a liitle off the music, but very gracefully though

[bunnybunch]

@Nath1001 I think the off the music is intended to be like that as i'v watched this again and again then i realised it~~ also if you search the same production, its like this too! ;)

[theamazingsoter]

@Nath1001 She's not off the music; that's the way it was choreographed for this Sleeping Beauty reconstruction. Every Florine at the Mariinsky dances the variation the like this.

[hijodelalagrima]

esta sorda!!

[kurtamus1]

I think she would have been doing the whole "chin" thing since she was a little girl.. It would be so hard to break the habbit now.. But she was very enjoyable..

[challyy89]

is it from sleeping beauty?

[jadiegotsoul]

yes

[Clockmouth]

Wow that is by far the best version of this variation!

[challyy89]

the tutu is amazing

[tinkerbellerina134]

Shes a beautiful dancer but I hate this variation and I think the costume is more Giselle  than Princess Florine

[spazzyabbi]

Love the music and the costume! She's not perfect, but she's far better than I'll ever be!

[KittyUSF]

the music doesn't match her dancing =/

[dancer5616]

ya shes great but this version of choreo isnt

[lolitalebron]

the dancer is awsome but i dont like this version of the variation

[ballerinababe333]

i love her body wow

[frootloops116]

ha

thats an interesting tutu.. X3

and she makes this piece flow very nicely

she has the ability to make everything she does look like the simplest thing in the world.. XD

i havent gotten to that level yet..

[xmariaballerina]

this is cute (: her arabesques look a little too far out towards second but otherwise she's really graceful and those bourrees at the end are nice and fast (:

[chocolate0cheesecake]

Her arabesque is crooked.

In the whole first section, her left wrist breaks the line.

She throws her chin up too mcuh when she's emphasizing the smile.

No dimension to the dancing, just a lot of bright smiling.

[wigglebells]

her chin should go up, you want to look proud, she is a princess. and how is her arabesque crooked? she just has a very high extension.

[LeSonge]

Thank you for saying that! Everybody's a critic on here. ugh.

She's beautiful.

[balletdevon]

Unless you are a principle at Mariinsky... I wouldn't be talking.

[eamileak]

Actually- I sort of agree with you.

Her arabesque is a little off, and now that your pointed it out I see that she throws her chin up; and yes... it is quite distracting.

All of those people rated your comment poorly, but you were just critiquing which I think is totally fine. It helps one improve.

I have to disagree with you on the wrists though- Balanchine had alot of his dancers break their wrists, and personally I like the look of it. But thats a personal preference. ^^

[eamileak]

Adding on to my previous comment. XD

I think that there is quite a bit of dimension to her dancing. Nothing is wrong with having a sweet smile. Everything is supposed to be emphasized on stage as you know, but her chin is a little over the top.

However she makes everything look so effortless and graceful! Exactly what a dancer is supposed to do! There were a few nitpicks, but overall she did very good compared to other BlueBird videos en (XD) youtube.

[eamileak]

Oops- that was all supposed to go towards chocolate0cheesecake, you know... the one whom you all rated badly on her comment. Critique is not wrong- its helpful.

She didn't comment like, "OMG tat wuz horrrrrrrrble... GAWD y dos she dans?". She posted a thorough critique which I personally honor. I dunno about the rest of you though, that think a lot of the dancers are absolutely perfect, and should never be critiqued. Besides, dancers thrive on it. ^^

[ihateplaincheese11]

she has an amazing extension!

[limegreenpinaple73]

yes it's definately streched. she's really lovely <3

oh, and thats a great set! lol

[oOhighmaintenanceOo]

skinny skinny skinny legs! i like the sarah lamb one too

~oOhighmaintenanceOo~

[ballet135292]

her arms are very graceful

beautiful (:

[hLeballerina13]

Her name sounds like "urine."

[nicedance4u]

what a beautiful arabesque!

[kirov1bolshoi]

It is the video.

The video is stearched.

[sapirichka]

it'a me or ahe seems very tall? do you think that she's streached to look highr? I mean is this aa problem of the camera?

[mouseygurlques]

i think she is beautiful

because she is so tall

[sapirichka]

I think the same way. but it's still intersting if she is as tall as she looks like...

[SilverInsanity]

She is very tall, I think. I've heard that somewhere...

[calipso1010]

Can she be the next Lopatkina? Or the first and only Julia? Whichever rode she choses, she has my vote :)
