Probably the absolute SMOOTHEST version of this variation in regards to the actual footwork. No note is left hanging without a movement. The transitions between moments are wonderful. I always come back to this video just to see this sheer perfection of choreography.
C'est amusant à voir, la danse de cette sorte d' "être à 8 pattes", qui lui-même semble bien prendre bien plaisir à s'ébrouer au rythme de la musique. Gracieux tout cela !
This dance has for me, shown more sadness and despair than any other dance in this ballet. I don't know why but its like the only dance that displays the terror and depression swan face in this ballet, don't ask me why. Vote this if you feel the same
I could be wrong but why in the beginning does it look like the one on the far left isn't getting all the way up on her shoes? It looks like she tried but didn't quite make it maybe?
ok...i know nothing of ballet, but i have watched several versions of this Small Swans dance on YouTube.....and these Bolshoi dancers look easily to be the best.
i am in an irish ballet company and last christmas we did the nutcracker and i was clara. ow tot me that was a big role becouse i was never picked for something like that. soooo now i cant wait to dance in swan lake becouse even if im just a little swan i sooo wanna be in it!!!!!!!!
I wanna be a Little Swan one day whenever my company performs Swan Lake again :) It's one of my dream roles along with Clara, Aurora, Odette/Odile, and Giselle :) I know that's a bit much, but everyone has dreams, right?
lindo...aqui na cidade serrana do rio de janeiro tem uma prof de balé que tem uma academia no centro que deveria ver este vídeo e aprender a ensinar suas alunas. e não a tirar dinheiro delas ensinando errado , onde mais tarde muitas operam seus joelhos com problemas seríssimos na cartilagem .
I love this. Their timing is perfect! there are together and with the music! i wonder how many hours in rehersal this took! Amazing! some of the best dacning ive seen!
maybe its my perfectionist character, but when i see this dance in my mind i keep thinking, everything has to be coordinated and together..meaning both the steps and the face turing thingyies xD..anyway i like this version..
@BiteOfTwilight That's exactly the same with me! it annoys me how, in the beginning, the far left dancer wasn't facing the same way as the other three, and how in about the middle (sorry, i can't remember when it was) the second right dancer was late with her head turney thing. NO OFFENSE INTENDED to all you haters, i am a perfectionist! i loved it, though. i think ballet is amazing, and i know i could never do that!
@TheSixelar7 All professions suffer in film and television. You don't think Law & Order shows realistic court proceedings, do you? Or that House is how real medicine operates? People watch for the story, not to learn the art. Film depictions are only as good as they have to be for the inexperienced majority. If you wanted to make yourself look like a condescending, pretentious shit, you succeeded.
So professions should suffer? This ballet was here long before Black Swan and will be around after. In a year, no one will even remember that movie. And if you weren't here to learn the art, why are you here? Seems like your fingers are typing faster than your dumbass mind.
This is damn good. Some dumb- but-can-afford-the-most-expensive seats at the Royal Opera House, London, have ALWAYS laughed at it because 1) they are idiots who go to be SEEN at the ballet/opera, and 2) someone once told them it was the equivalent of Shakespeare's 'comic relief' in his tragedies (like the night porter in Macbeth). Does that happen elsewhere? What it does is give the lead a well-earned very short break. Btw, Swan Lake music was composed very quickly as P T needed the money!

@lockedinsideursbox the person under me disagrees lol. She said can you ask for synchronization more perfect than that? Lolbut I thought they did a nice job.
they arent even together....i thought since this was bolshoi i was going to see absolute perfection but they look like they are struggling to keep up and theres no swan like quality to the dance like some other versions on here
can you image if the police tries to arrest one of this girls on the street? It would be impossible. I can image the scene of her jumping like a kangaroo on top ppls read saying QUA QUA QUA
this hurts sooo bad. iv taken pointe my whole life and my russian ballet teacher had this drilled in my head since age 9. i can do it in my sleep. swan lake is sooo beautiful<3
Your vehement rant can hardly be considered an ''argument'' and your assertion that I'm ''hiding'' because I'm somehow over awed by your argument is absurd...I just have a life! I'm merely giving an opinion on something that is of interest to me but is of no great importance. If you want to go getting your panties in a bunch over such trivial matters, by all means do so...

The movie made it accessible to the masses and garnered a lot of interest in the art of ballet....all good...unless you're a self important snobbish ingrate!
@aprilswan2 the movie didnt make ballet accessible to the masses since the movie doesnt show anything close to being true about it ... and i dont see many people interested in ballet after watching BS, what i see is people happy to post annoying/useless comments such as "thumbs up if you're watching this after BS" or worse : "NP danced better than this girl" [about Marinsky dancers!!!] ...
@FyreBalletDancer I'm not saying it depicted the essence of Swan Lake but the movie definately shone a positive light upon ballet ...is this not a good thing? It provoked conversation and interest amongst people who ordinarily would find ballet inaccessible,therefor, hopefully resonating enough so that new generations may well be inspired. As for witless comments...well...I tend to pay more attention to people who have something constructive or informative to say!
@aprilswan2 "shone a positive light upon ballet" are you kidding me ??? have you seen the movie ???showing a "professional ballerina" as an anorexic naïve and stupid slut with no personnality, no self-esteam, repressed sexuality and lack of ballet training (for the parts that NP actually did) is defeeenetly not what i call a positiv image sorry
@FyreBalletDancer Yeah, you sure are sorry!!! How about removing the tutu from your stuffy obnoxious ass and just relaxing!? Dear god woman...you seem to be exhibiting signs of sexual repression yourself. Go get layed or summink!!!
@aprilswan2 looll im very calm but whatever. dont think i didnt realise how u stopped answering becuz u had nothing against that argument, and tried to hide it with empty wannabe insults :)) i hate when people cant admitt when they're wrong
@aprilswan2, it's more of a negative light. Swan lake did made people interested in ballet, but reinforce all those negative cliched belief. Ballet does require a lot of energy, and has been compared to American football in terms of athletic requirement. Pointe work is harder because you have to balance on such a small space and have awesome foot muscles, which many do not have including many football players. In fact, some football players practice ballet for stronger muscles.
People's intrest to classic art after movies is always so intresting ^^ After Twilight it was Debussy's Clair the Lune, and after Black Swan it was Swan Lake.. I'm wondering what's next. Mozart?
I saw Swan Lake a while ago and I'm not an expert but I found it to be poorly executed, and above all, the symmetry was way off sometimes. I'm now looking at some videos from big ballet companies and I see a big difference!!
27 seconds in- The dancer on the left (end) does the wrong head, as everyone else is looking to (our) right and she looks left, then has to change her head! but the two dancers on the right, have thier heads in sync with each other!! apart from that it's really good!
All looks so easy, but nobody (except you're dancing ballet) can imagine, one figure or one dancing step sometimes stand for months of training...I love it♥ It's such an art!!!!
Alright this whole "I'm here because of Black Swan" vs. "I'm here because I love ballet" thing is similar to the fight over which is better: the book or the movie of a book. The movie "Black Swan" more than likely doesn't do the book (in this case, the entire art of ballet) justice. However, Black Swan gave the viewers a desire to learn more, so here they are. They aren't people who live and breathe for ballet, but they're better than the ones who watched the movie, and ended their search there.
@icannottellyouthat For me it's not that people claim to love ballet from just having seen the movie that's bothering me about black swan, it's that since it came out, i'll search swan lake in an attempt to get a playlist of Tchaikovskys music, and all i get is a playlist of the movie sound track! arggh...
Everyone who enjoys ballet will always stare at performances like that of this special part of Swan Lake. Surely, this is an unique coreography ; good ensembles like Bolshoi always exceed our common expectations. Wonderful!
@balletfreak430 When I was younger (I'm 15) I used to watch this ballet with my grandfather. It's my favourite becuse of the emotional meaning that it has (I love Walpurgis Natch too but It hasn't got the meaning that swan lake does)
I can't remeber which I used to saw with him. I can't....soo I'm searching through Youtube for an answer. That one was simply perfect. This one is the closest to perfection that I've seen.
I really thank you so so so much. Have a nice day.
Black Swan was a great movie imo (you might disagree and that's fair enough) and I think there is such a big craze about it lately in ballet videos on youtube because, just as Aronofsky said, it's a world not very often visited by films. Therefore now that it happened with his film it's marked as a completely new creative territory for film buffs. So dear ballet fans please excuse us while we dive into this new ocean, even if it's for a little while :)
maybe you should see that most of the people who are interested in the movie are because of Natalie and not ballet... there's more beauty than people can see and that's what bothers me.
Plus that everyone who comes here, comments about BLACK SWAN!!! WHY did they even bother coming here if they wanted to talk about the movie? (not that I don't like black swan, please don't misunderstand me)
@ballarinoula95 I agree, ballet is what it is because of its own merit and not because someone decided to make a movie about it. No one cares about the movie except for people who know little to nothing about ballet, people who act as if ballet dancers should be grateful a movie gave them exposure, as if they were done some sort of favor. I don't see anyone giving two shits about Princess Tutu, Red Shoes or Ballet Shoes just to name a few a few ballet movies.
At first, they walk in the stage look like dolls

27 seconds in- The dancer on the left (end) does the wrong head, as everyone else is looking to (our) right and she looks left, then has to change her head! but the two dancers on the right, have thier heads in sync with each other!! apart from that it's really good!

the dancer on the far left seems to be leaning more on the bottom of her toes and not actually the edges...it really irritates me

I thought the same thing, BUT if it was that way Im sure she wouldnt be chosen for this part. Its a mayor flaw. Maybe it just seems that way.

BEAUTIFUL FANTABULOUS. Absolutely marvolous. This makes it hard to believe kids have never heard of Tchaikovsky... :(

Tanz der kleinen Schäne (Schwansee op 20), Dance of the little Swans (Swan Sea op 20) by Tschaikowsky. I believe thats the name.

@shaunmooreokelly I'm not sure of the particular name of the song but it was scored by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Hope this helps a little.

probably the most beautiful sport in the world.
it is just composed and so nice to see people move like this. their bodies, their clothes, hearing the music.

I love ballet!!!
All looks so easy, but nobody (except you're dancing ballet) can imagine, one figure or one dancing step sometimes stand for months of training...I love it♥ It's such an art!!!!

Alright this whole "I'm here because of Black Swan" vs. "I'm here because I love ballet" thing is similar to the fight over which is better: the book or the movie of a book. The movie "Black Swan" more than likely doesn't do the book (in this case, the entire art of ballet) justice. However, Black Swan gave the viewers a desire to learn more, so here they are. They aren't people who live and breathe for ballet, but they're better than the ones who watched the movie, and ended their search there.

@icannottellyouthat For me it's not that people claim to love ballet from just having seen the movie that's bothering me about black swan, it's that since it came out, i'll search swan lake in an attempt to get a playlist of Tchaikovskys music, and all i get is a playlist of the movie sound track! arggh...

Everyone who enjoys ballet will always stare at performances like that of this special part of Swan Lake. Surely, this is an unique coreography ; good ensembles like Bolshoi always exceed our common expectations. Wonderful!

@balletfreak430 When I was younger (I'm 15) I used to watch this ballet with my grandfather. It's my favourite becuse of the emotional meaning that it has (I love Walpurgis Natch too but It hasn't got the meaning that swan lake does)
I can't remeber which I used to saw with him. I can't....soo I'm searching through Youtube for an answer. That one was simply perfect. This one is the closest to perfection that I've seen.
I really thank you so so so much. Have a nice day.

Black Swan was a great movie imo (you might disagree and that's fair enough) and I think there is such a big craze about it lately in ballet videos on youtube because, just as Aronofsky said, it's a world not very often visited by films. Therefore now that it happened with his film it's marked as a completely new creative territory for film buffs. So dear ballet fans please excuse us while we dive into this new ocean, even if it's for a little while :)

@littleplayer89
maybe you should see that most of the people who are interested in the movie are because of Natalie and not ballet... there's more beauty than people can see and that's what bothers me.
Plus that everyone who comes here, comments about BLACK SWAN!!! WHY did they even bother coming here if they wanted to talk about the movie? (not that I don't like black swan, please don't misunderstand me)
ballarinoula95 10 months ago
@ballarinoula95 I agree, ballet is what it is because of its own merit and not because someone decided to make a movie about it. No one cares about the movie except for people who know little to nothing about ballet, people who act as if ballet dancers should be grateful a movie gave them exposure, as if they were done some sort of favor. I don't see anyone giving two shits about Princess Tutu, Red Shoes or Ballet Shoes just to name a few a few ballet movies.
