Despite the dreadful quality of the filming, this is one of the most extraordinary feats of dancing I have ever seen. Each time I watch it I laugh with disbelief at the impossibilities that these two wonderful people achieve. Bless you both!
how can you be so bad MICROBIO you don't know this bailarin - she works since 8 years (from 16)and she danced always even when she was hurt - i think you are envious because you cannot dance like her....
do you know Adeline very well????????????????? I know her 15 years ,she is the only 1 who dance even when she is sick and hurt ,i must say she is very musical and her dance is so clean.
special message to microbio 73.I must say you are really MICROB.......................
who are you microbina to juge the good dancers like that.you don't knou anything about her.I work with her 7 years and I never sow that ADELINE cry.meaby you're working in macdonalds that why you don't knouw what is musicality and what is to be a dancer. ADELINE PASTOR have musicality artistic and technic. look in youtoub just put her name ADELINE PASTOR.
hello willytheball - I am the mother of ADELIN and I film this video and DON QUICHOTTE in VARNA competition in 1998 but you know it's very difficult to film her daughther when she participate in a competition like VARNA so difficult .... sorry
Rolando defected and cannot go back to Cuba where as Jose Manuel and Carlos Acosta can because they were 'let go' by Alicia Alonso. Do not forget that Rolando is 24.
I sort of agree with you that he disregards the connecting steps, at least more than Acosta, but when I watch other videos of him on youtube, especially his variation from Don Quixote, I see some really interesting ways of moving in between the turns and jumps, his own mannerisms I guess, that I've never seen in other dancers. Every time I watch him, I find something new in his dancing. He's unique.
Well,it is Adeline! I know her personally,was working with her for some years. They dance together in Varna'98,both won prizes.Just go on the net and check it out!!!
Great turns and Jumps, but I feel that he underplays all the simple connecting steps, probably thats why he didn't match up with Carlos Acosta as you say.
I don't understand how Sarabia isn't up on the same pedestal as Carlos Acosta. I guess maybe he isn't as polished an "artist" as Acosta, but technically, he is inhuman!!! Out of all the turns he did in this video, I never saw him do less than six, even in a la second!!! He should be a character in the next X-Men movie.
Sarabia was very young in that video and I don´t think you should ask for anything more to a child.I dont know if that girl is Adeline Pastor but maybe is she because I remember very well her incredible way of turning. She had not a very good body for ballet. You also could notice that Sarabia was (and is) spectacular but always had good taste. That was the difference with Adeline, always spinning out of music and never took care if she had to end the coda in the floor...and usualy crying.
