What shame, this woman was deceptive to the worls for years. She is the wors ballerina, you think that in that epoch also was dancing Alicia Alonso. Plisetskaya is closed, she jump to rise to the points, stamps all the time, she is vulgar and how she walks!!! is very ugly.
you are a tasteless idiot full of crap..next time before you have the dumb ass idea to post a bull shit comment why dont you use that apparently minute brain!
I want ballet to return to this level of artistry! I loke modern technique but it has become to extreme, and characterisation is just lost. Plisetskaya possses phenomenal technique-although I did laugh at 55secs in because her feet are not turned out at all in those wlaks. I wasn't laughing at her, just at the thought of how dancers couldn't do that today.
It's true that sometimes some of her movements look a little odd, but I think you do have to consider that the style of ballet has changed quite a lot since her day. Point being, she's not doing anything she doesn't mean to do. And her arms are stunningly graceful...it blows me away every time. Thanks so much for posting this!
Nope. I still don't like her. I tried to like her since everybody worships her but I can't. She has NO grace. A good performer, but I can't see genius here. Sorry.
In general I thought it was quite good but I sometimes think when Maya does an arabesque her front hand is like a crab hand like in the shape of < But I still thought the performance was amazing
Wow. It seems to me like dancers of this age have lost whatever it was that made Plisetskaya so amazing. I've never seen a dance liker hers. Simply phenominal. Everyone who says she doesn't have technique obviously doesn't know what technique is.
She was also a woman of steel! Picked on by the idiots in the Party because she was Jewish, she still went every day to dance at her beloved Bolshoi! You're not only a great ballerina, Maya, you're a great human being!
adballet and others. Maya is a class above anything around today. Maya outperforms everyone else in technique, musicality and interpretation. Perhaps Pavlova was as great, but she bought another entirely different style of dancing to the people. We love them both.
Hey Brewskyxxx why did you erase all those things you wrote about yourself? You know,.. about your big ugly nose,.. the fact that you look like a man,... all that stuff that made me laugh, about how you suffer from being kinda retarded,.. how terrible it must be!!, to be a women who looks like a man, and on top of that, has a WORLD of mental issues!
Maya was one of the greates ballerinas of the twenty century, every day dancers are exoected to do more, more extensions, more piruettes, back then they needed to be more passioned that tecnically perfect, more impressive and divas like her, Fontein, Alonso, Ulanova. To be like them was amazing.
Power, emotion, raw unbridled passion. That is dance. Yes, extensions. Yes, clean. But not to the exclusion of passion and intensity. I will take Maya any day! Brava!
odile is one of those roles where when the dancer is graceful i am kind of unsatisfied ... i want odile to be fierce. some dancers just can't stop being supergraceful. i don't know, maybe that's just me.
Have to agree with you there......and I hate the "lengthened" look of the starving dancers today.....Maya was doing her thing before everyone got hooked on coke and heroin in order to dance.
I'm sorry, but you have just insulted the last 3 generations of dancers in the entire world. My weight has been btw 93 and 105 and I have never even tought of trying cocaine or heroine or any other drug, including cigarettes. I drink half glass of champagne on New Year's. Drugs DO NOT help people to look beautiful and strong and wake up every morning for class and several hours of rehearsals.
Plissetskaya was the top of her line at her time, that's as far as training would take you, however things have evolved. Somethings are not acceptable today, and if you ask her I believe she will be the first one to tell you. PLEASE START RESPECTING DANCERS, WE WORK VERY HARD AND DO NOT NEED NOR WELCOME THIS KIND OF BASHING. If you see a video of her in 1973 the walks and the extra weight are almost gone.
she is really good! But the reason that she's ungraceful is because odile is suppose to be sharp and weird. If she was something else I would bet you that she is super graceful.
Wow! Not crazy about the ungraceful and not very balletic walking but her strength and command of performance are undeniable. Different tutu's so I'm guessing different performances. I do prefer the modern soviet dancers - I like how thin and 'lengthened' they look and I'm crazy for those high extensions. But someone had to set the bar way back when! She is pure power,
and raw passion and emotion ... with an amazing sense of the music. she's really brilliant.
i know where you're coming from, i love the post-balanchine russian aesthetic also, but although not graceful perfection (like ulanova), plisetskaya owned her roles, they were just so her, and she was so the character she was dancing, that makes her really a special and stand out dancer in my mind. i hope that made sense.

Are you kidding? She has so much grace. Who do you think Swan Lake was intended for, to dance from the beginning? Yes Maya.

i dont know why people say that she didnt have technique
its just a this time the dancers get the influence of sports such as gimnastic skating
at Plisetskaya´s time the influence at ballet was acting and dancing
here she is odile
a demon /swan
that is performing you got it?

her weight is almost gone because she's getting old. she's the kind of person who lose weight by getting older.
