Alina Cojocaru & Johan Kobborg Genzano FF

[ejcooper312]

Wow thats beautiful!

[resborzage]

There is nothing 'amazing' about this. I sometimes wonder if all the ballet comments on youtube are written by 15 year old girl ballet students who know the lingo and can't wait to show off their knowledge of feet, shoes and how amazing and adorable their fav. dancers are.

See Linda Hindberg and Arne Villumsen (genuinely 'amazing' artists) dance this and then compare to this very unremarkable and quite inelegant performance by these overrated, gimmicky and usually vulgar dancers.

[nicolezly]

@resborzage this is really a rude comment. maybe some dancers are not "natively" trained for certain style and that their own styles are rooted in their muscle memory, but you cannot deny that they try to adapt to masters' ideas and try to pull it off their own way. alina is not a bournonville ballerina, but this pdd is definitely lovely and full of character. this is how art keeps going.

[luvsallid]

These dancers are terrific but they strayed from the"Bournonville" style of this marvelous pas de deux. Her extensions are far too high and the bent knees in her arabesques don't belong in this style of ballet. I'd love to see them in the Russian classics. I simply prefer the Royal Danes in this ballet, especially Rose Gade Poulson and Alexander Kolpin.

[FD02Ballet]

What kind of pointe shoes does alina wear?

[katievhoneychurch]

johan.wow.

[dancer2664]

they are both so lovely! however it seems to me kobborg isn't following danish lines (ending turns with arms in first etc) but i thought he was danish? even if is isn't (and I know aina isn't) it kind of bugs me when people don't use danish port de bras in genzano. it's a bournonville ballet afterall! yet in anycase they are both amazing, such nice quality and ballon!

[theovercastkid]

This is so adorable. ^0^ I just can't get over it. She is so amazingly beautiful.

[MizHappyPerson]

wow! this is beautiful- they leap like their as lighter than air and turn like they're stuck to the ground, and that grande rond de jambe into the penchee -AMAZING

[fullmoonglare]

Wow, I don't know how they move like that. They both have such flawless technique AND character, and they make everything look so effortless.

[Arrghigiveup]

This always makes me want to smile like a loon.

[yanyuet]

her smile's so sweet, watching this really makes my day

[renatadancer]

They're so good *O* I just couldn't take my eyes off it!

[Kiarpb]

totally agree with Onmytoes972! she looks innocent and cute: a peasant! Kobborg also looks great in this role. Really cute!

[deliabonazzoli]

brava ...mi piace la danza classica oltre la pittura

[xanglat]

Beautiful !

Extrêmement bien filmé !

Un grand merci pour cet apport d'élégance et de légèreté..., de souplesse et de grâce !!!

D I V I N  !

[LiveAndBreatheBallet]

That is such a hard variation and she does it very well!! Bournonville is very hard to master. I know that everyone at my studio we all hate when we have to do this variation ahahaha. i luv alina.

[etnarud95]

Johann looked slightly off balance during his pirouettes...i like the evgenia obratzsova and leonid sarafanov version a lot more.

[lmi88]

omg they are SO cute!! They have an amazing tecnique, they make a great team and they can act sooo wel!!!! i love how alina stares at him at 2:24 and he caches her and how embarrased she is!!! PERFECT!!

[Flaflaronio]

I don't think I have ever seen anyone better in Bournonville, but then again Kobborg is from Denmark... it's just so impressive!

[hydroconscious]

i love alina!!!!

[Brusamer]

i love the pax de due. they look so in love and he makes faces like trying to pick her up. Really like it. And of course Alina is unbelieveble

[Leonnidik]

A most un-Bournonville Cojocaru with lazy brises and no arc in the arms.Hold the Danish! Kobborg the opposite,correct style and those perfect arms and beats.He's almost as great as Schaufuss.

[Paradiselost89]

she has a wonderful jump its hard to notice his when her its higher !!!

[czechmate85]

He does Bournonville correctly. By anyone else, this pas de deus doesn't seem right.

[danceandsing00]

wow!

[ibl4ever]

I think she's a lovely dancer, and if by cheater you are referring to her shoe brand (Gaynor Minden) that's really unfair. Shoes don't give you lovely arabesque lines, clean jumps or talent.

[freakyfeet20]

she's a cheater, a beautiful one, but a cheater nonetheless!

[notionridiculous]

How so?

[merluzasfritas]

she maybe a cheater, but for sure you are mental

[Onmytoes972]

This is AMAZING!

I absolutly adore Alina, really she is my idol. In this she is so sweet and innocent. I love it and Johan is great also. They make a great team!!! :DD

[lmi88]

beautiful!! alina as gorgeous as always...and johan...well...so kobborg!! awesome...no words....i could watch it a hundred times and still have my mouyth hanging open

[UglyBetty190]

Alina is such an amazing dancer!

I wish I had her feet!!!!!!!

We learned this solo for a dance intensive it is actually quite easy when you get the hang of it, I did notice there are no turns in this dance I thought that was a little strange.

[saritachan]

i think there are turns, although you are right there aren't so many, they feature at 7:00 afterwards

[SopranoKayla1992]

A VERY pretty Giselle pas. ;D I love it!

[xdancer104x]

it's not giselle

its genzano! =)

[ballerina1616]

its not giselle

[msosa721]

My goodness her steps are torturous!! I can't believe how easy she makes it look. And his footwork is equally beautiful. They're adorable together!

[harpangelic]

Alina é uma perfeita bailarina, tem a doçura de uma fada e a singeleza de uma borboleta em seus movimentos.O bailarino também é excelente, parecendo um belo cisne a flutuar.

Parabéns!!!

[kdub10009]

So difficult, performed in such a seemingly effortless manner.  wonderful.

[balletlover972]

[AML32FOUETTES]

[becli]

Can anyone please tell me which ballet is this from?

[mariacrothers]

This is from a ballet called "Flower Festival in Ganzano". It is a ballet by Danish choreographer August Bournonville, this Pas de Deux is all that remains of the ballet today!

[ballerinette1]

They dance very well together...wonderful chemistry.

[mairearad]

He reminds me of Jonathon Rhys Myers.

[pacoenfadonha]

Ooooooh!

Lovely ^^

[jpmraaa]
