ADELINE PASTOR 15 years old (Don Q Pas de deux)

[almanegrahermosa]

for how amazing she was at age 10 I'm very surprised she isn't better now! Her skills are only at my level, but still good!

[blancamigdalia]

For someone who ask,he's Rolando Sarabia from Cuba and she's from France,but she studied ballet in Cuba.They are like 27 years old now.I love Sarabita,he's so good!!!!!!

[beccehy]

4:45 why you never underestimate a male ballet dancer

[rrahc98]

She is one of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen, although it may just be the camera that doesn't show it but she never appears to have any facial expression but her body movement makes up for it. Her turns were just phenomenal! I'd love to be as good as this, the boy is also such a strong dancer, they both will go very far!

[zerglam]

Bravaa!!

[breyergirl2011]

wouah,votre etonant

[TheSearchForHelp]

she is truely an incredible dancer. she isntover he box for most of it tho. my teachers always riding my ass about that.

[saeng02]

What's wrong with the cameraman? PLEASE hold it still.

Dancers are great, though!

[TheAscendingOne]

probably the best turners i've ever seen! :O

[angelbaby624101]

Pointe is not as hard as it looks if you have good upper body strength,strong feet and long strong legs not all muscle but naturally strong and good arches

[dlsblue]

OMG, they are both FANTASTIC!!!!! Gorgeous feet and incredible stage presence for such young dancers. I wonder where they are now?

[spotsycool]

all ballet dancers look older than what they actually are...it's all the hard work and strain showing in their faces.

[ClumsyTheNinja]

7:20 - 7:30 ouch! xD good job.

[TwilightIsBest1234]

If she was 15 in 1998, she'd be 28 now. Just think, her ballet career is almost over.

She's BEAUTIFUL.

[iInuYashaDem0n]

@TwilightIsBest1234 at what age do dancers career end?

[18Balletlover]

Dios mio pero quien grabo era nervioso?

[cheeky10julss]

Bueno

[s2broadwaybabys2]

ahhh i wish we had more guy dancers like that nowadays!

[ThePanHrac]

mne sa to velmi pači

timea lengelova

[ThePanHrac]

mne sa to velmi pači

[lalegs]

Who's the partner????

[HorsesandPointeShoes]

she doesnt need the partner XD

[4everhogwarts]

She really needs to get in to a professional company such as nycb or Miami city ballet.

[pleasantdoll]

i´m getting sick while i watch this. don´t get me wrong, she´s a genius!

but what´s wrong with the person who is holding the camera? is there an earthquake??

[GrSfan]

they're so talented, the execution of the pivots are amazing! <3 BRAVO

[kirbygirlgogo]

Very powerful and graceful! :D I used to dance a long time ago.

[SuperPrincess1333]

WOW IVE WATCHED ALL HER VIDS TILL I CAME TO THIS ONE AND WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT AS I AM GONNA BE PERFORMING AT THE ROYAL ALLBERT HALL FOR A DANCE A ADORE CALLED SWAN LAKE!!!!!! IT SHARES MY LOVE OF BALLET AND SO DOES THIS YOUNG GIRL HERE!!!!!!!!! IM 14 BEEN ON POINTE FOR 3YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikky851]

Um, were they supposed to have the same timing at the start for a while? Cus the dude was waaaaaaaay off! ;LL

[MrManny1120]

What a pas de deux!!!!!Bravo Sarabita!!!!!

[birbanto24]

is taht SARABIA????

[BarBi3Skittles]

i love how ballerinas make everything look effortless :)

[MsEmilyDreamer]

very nice performance. you know what i like about her? shes not stick thin and yet she looks amazing dancing.

[tutugrl27]

=O holy shiitake mushrooms

[tutugrl27]

=O omg

[baferlet]

i love sarabita!!!

[blondelillily]

BEAUTIFUL outfit.

[vaneujie]

wow! she did great when she was 10 but she improved more here.

[aucun92]

Juste un mot : BRAVO !

[elzbieta52]

She is 27 now. I hope she is just as good now as she was at this time.

[Ballerina2010dk]

whos the male dancer?

[tubeusyou]

damn its a bad video....and damn she's good!!!! by the way its don quixote not don quichotte haha

[Arrghigiveup]

@tubeusyou Depends. A lot of people call it Don Quichotte too because that's how it's written/pronounced in French, and the guy who wrote the ballet was French.

[nortondance]

bravo!!!!!!!!!! amazing

[CMGGOttawa]

Astonishing technique and personality, two rare qualities in such a young person. Surreal!

[danceluverful]

her pointe is unbelievable. it was like flawless

[scgalhjl]

Are those really pointe shoes she is wearing, because they look kinda flat to me so...?

[ksjx711]

anyone knows how old she is now?

[helliop]

she was 15 in 1998, so 27?

[prossimamente]

I wish a serious cameraman for those gorgeous dacers..

[SuperLaste]

Besides her technique I like how she uses her head to create style and accents. In this case the "fierce" spanish look. She is just wonderful.

[cutejumbi]

God he is perfect

[JosyHSM]

GREAT!

[connorgrahammiller]

i do ballet duos with an amazing dance.. and we win every eistedford and solos we do too..bbut we have NOTHING!! on these two! well done!

[pinkapplejl]

They make awesome partners, both have absolutely solid techniques, and they're like natural turners. Now I'm inspired to make my pirouettes better =P

[TeoKaiHui]

She does it flawlesly

[isastruve]

Where is she from???

I would like to read her biography but I can't find it in google...

[MrNocco]

she's cuban :P

those two are arguably the best turners in classical ballet :P they fit awesomely together :P

[ghlover2001]

@MrNocco this makes no difference to me b/c i'm american, but she's actually french. read the description.

[twilightfan6781]

im better im a professinal dancer and 16 my name is trinity hamilton!!! im not liein

[HSCSdancer]

Wow. Let the girl have her moment. Just cause your a professinal, doesn't mean your better then her.

[TheDanceJunkie]

@twilightfan6781 No Need to Butt into a performance of one of the greatest ballet dancer and yell "IM WAYYYY BETTER" Imagine going to one of her performances yelling that. =P Maybe ur lieing well never know. Just keep ur stupid comments to urself

[yanabilo]

@twilightfan6781 u suck

[beautexinterieur]

She makes it all look so effortless! Whenever I try to balance during class I'm always falling all over the place!  Brava!

[HSCSdancer]

omg, ikr???

[dancingmansam]

pretty amazing

but god i could shoot that audience

SHUT UP

haha no it's great they're so into it

[isthatmarcee]

:( I'm 15 and im in inter foundation RAD.. i wish i was as good as her :S :D but, slowly, im getting there :)

[lilygabby71]

whoever is holding the camera doesnt stay still but their really good

[ballet135292]

lol its rolly!!! aahhh i miss him

[debellis]

great! Who is the male dancer? A very good performer. She is a wonderful quiteria:-)

[RS100392]

from the looks of it its Rolando Sarabia im about 99% sure but no one turns like him so im confident its him

[RS100392]

yeah its him it even says at the end of the video my comment before was before the entire video was over so its def him

[balletgirl11]

i cant stop watching her. shame its a bad copy of the viedeo :(

[Lindagata75]

In other words you belong to the National Ballet of Cuba. Exactly Like it was in the Soviet union. When the Sovient Union existed! That is why Cuba dancers most of them are amazing.

[Lindagata75]

Cuba has amazing ballet dancers. I have a friend he started to train when he was 9 In Cuba they start dancing when they're little kids, All the ballet dancer they live in the School, he used to live in the ballet school, that's the only thing he was train to do. It's not like here that you go to private studio, and perhaps you go 3 times at week or whatever..;. There is no private studios over there, since is a communist country.

[lauraempeine]

adeline c'etait martha iris qui faisait le video?j'ai cru entendre sa voix

[davade2007]

c´etait effectivement sa prof du moment .

c´est une prof genial!!

[mariliaz]

bad quality video, but she dances wonderfully!

[eeoou]

I dont know why i got -6 rating comment. I just be honest. Ppl gain more weight when they grow up, dont they? And its kinda natural rule, more weight, more momentum, force on her ankles thus harder to control movement. And she did it great as i said. Its her luck that she developed her ankles since she was a kid. That made her ankles strong enough to take all those force from her whole body

Imagine urself who have weak ankles and spin and jump like she did. Youd have your ankles replace by now.

[balet11]

AMAMSING! What;s the trick? I'm auditionning for the royal winnipeg ballet.. i need all the help i can get! :)

[ritafofa1]

i have the perfect trick: lots of practice.

take all the ballet classes you can get. not only from your grade, but all of them. sometimes, even those first grades like primary and grade 1 have exercises that can really help you developping your feet and posture. : )

[ritafofa1]

god. you wish you could have that body and those feet....

[CordsZ]

She's lovely, as always, but what is it with Cuba and the Don Q pdd?! It's not THAT great of a pdd compared to others out there, and especially compared to other pieces earlier in the ballet.

[bitmoreuptempo]

she looks 20 not 15

[LoveBallet2007]

I have a friend who is 14 and looks like a definite 19 too. I have the opposite. I'm turning 14 and look like an 8 year-old. It's all in the genes I guess...

[iceballerina88]

@bitmoreuptempo ohh well but that's quite normal, she was almost an adult person, I have always looked older too....

[michael822212]

@bitmoreuptempo agreed

[Beam261]

@bitmoreuptempo i think it's because she isn't as skinny as many other 15-year-old ballerinas... some girls just mature more quickly. I doubt the age was given wrong though.

[BelleBella1789]

She is really very good !!

[danceprincess1108]

Are you sure she's just 15?????

She's so great!!

[FanOfRudyLenners]

yeah, she's a talent!!!!

[annnanas1991]

she was at the time, she's 26 now

[hechiizeraaa]

hahaha! Really Good..!

Don Quichotte..it makes me laugh how do u spell it..hahaha

Great dancer!

[rachel869]

AMAZING !!

hahaa, I was 4 when she was 15 :)

[lashakhozashvili]

BRAVO B R A V O BRAAAVO

[lashakhozashvili]

BRAVO B R A V O BRAAAVO

[aninhadevito2]

eles são maravilhosos! ;*

[samanthacarmel]

what a beautiful dancer

[feherlofia7]

Adeline, congratulations, this is beautiful! :-)) I have a question: do you have Hungarian ancestors? Pastor (Pásztor) is a Hungarian surname, but it was internationalised to Pastor. Greetings from Hungary

[Nalgisa]

Pastor is a spanish surname too (means shepherd in this language). It's curious, similar surnames in different languages ^^

[BalletNinja6]

she was 15 when i was 2 :D

[gallegotii]

I know the guy is with Miami City Ballet now... Where is she? She is amazing!!!!!!

[czark4713]

she's a principal at Alto Ballet Theatre Essen in Germany

[Redshoed]

woah woah woah, those are freaking amazing triple fouettes. they are AHMAZING!

[lada36]

the guy in that video is Rolando Sarabia and he is a principal dancer today, if you type him in you will see amazing videos oh him, by the way does any one here know how old he is when this was filmed? He looks about 15 but im not sure.

[xoKriStiAnExo]

OMG i have tht costume!! last year for my recital my ballet dance was "cinco de mayo" and that was the costume! i loved it!

[Kakdjela1]

OMG!!!!! she is sooooooo GREAT!!! on that age, i love that really!!

[addicted2ballet]

wow! she is absolutely amazing!!

[Bumblebee1993]

hes amazing too. who the heck is he????

[tonibbzxx]

she maks me feel sick of how good she is christ i will cry if she doesnt make it her profession (soz i cant spell)

[mowie4eva]

did they win this competition??

[WoaNellie]

Both of them are great.

[oscara7]

its so beautiful it makes me wanna cry. :]

i love ballet!

her pirouettes are really amazing.

[MajesticTOASTER]

If she hadn't studied in Cuba, she never would have been this good.

Communist's know how to whip a ballerina into shape.

But still, the only thing that's special about her is her pirouettes.

[PerfectBallerina]

Haha, so true. At summer programs, if someone if Cuban or from Cuba, you don't even need to see them dance, you already KNOW they're amazing.

[dancerchick912]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!­!!! =[ im soo jelous

[1l14cu5]

She's great, but Rolando, amazing

[prettyinpink1232]

Does anyone know how shes doing now? Is she still dancing?

[babilon2006]

WOW!! shes really good, it would be better if the videoing wasn't so wobbly. but anyway..

[siddhiseekers]

Wow i LOVED it!!!!!!!!!

[jessicalamjq]

she's 15?

[babyblueboxers]

ohh myyy gawshh! hert legs are soo amazingg!! my director says i have good legs, but im trying not to use the top of my thy muscles, cause there getting big on me!! :0! her legs are perfect though!!

[irenaponisova]

she looks like gillian murphy (face i mean)

[polandjesus]

What ballet school does she go too??????????????

[krazy77grl]

someone should have used a tripod.

She is amazing!!!

[StarNia]

How old is she now??

[Arena2648]

actually, I supose that she has 24 or 25

[BalletNinja6]

i loved how you see her progress!! BRAVO

this was a long time ago!

[yonjooheero]

LOL. That made me crack up - the male dancer's PIROUETTE FINISHINGS ARE JUST... AMAZING!! I want balance like that too. :P Never have I seen such clean technique!!

[Dramadiva1120]

amazing! she does jump higher than him.

[ahiru12457]

i envy her...

[dancer5223]

She must be 24 now... like someone below said. Did she ever dance with a company? I can't find anything about her on google aside from youtube videos. She's really talented. (:

[strongflyer]

could u pleas tell me where did she studied?? THANKS!!

[giinaldo]

Belo, belíssimo. Harmonioso e encantador. Parabéns ao casal.

[banana272]

So there are a whole bunch of videos of Adeline Pastor, are they all the same girl jsut at different ages? That must mean that the ones where she was 10 must be old bc this video is from 1998 and she was 15 then. so she is like 24 now?

[dancerpsique]

dios!!! es increible :)

[FeySylph]

Oh my god I bet the audience was completely blown away! My only problem is with the camera shaking - it made me a bit dizzy but it was worth it to see this amazing talent!

[boggydance]

that's funny: she jumps higher than he does

[AFFINITES]

rolando and adeline had 15 years old

[vank88]

How old Rolando on this video?

Thanks!

[dancingparrot]

haha no one even knows how good rolando was and still is

[naurelie]

Great!
