Maria Alexandrova in Don Quixote

[adrian8188]

Maria Alexandrova la mejor bailarina del mundo en el momento actual, pertenece al Ballet Bolshoi, Ella se coordina bien con la musica a diferencia de Osipova que es mas energetica, pero excede su velocidad y no hace compass con la musica.,

[valuemma]

She really is the best!!!!

[Royalbrettania]

you say amazing jump.....I say amazing catch ! :)

[valuemma]

You are right!!

Она великолепна!!!

[manderson610]

WHAT??? Those jumps and fouettes were crazy!!! She is so underrated! She makes a great Kitri.

[88888Di88888]

@manderson610 SO TRUE!!! I BELIEVE SHE HAS MORE ACTING SKILLS THAN ZAKHAROVA! She is much more talented than Svetlana... i mean i love svetlana for her extensions... but Alexandrova ALWAYS takes my breath away!!!! you're right! SHE'S SO UNDERRATED!!! :( and it's only because she doesn't have zakharova's extensions!!!!

[KcAriaGirl]

Where did the cups go...

[lovestodance5472]

what variation was that on the second clip?

[Juventina1005]

@lovestodance5472

queen of the dryads, the dulcinea variation of act III ;)

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

Whoa, those jump/catches things were amazing and looked sort of dangerous! she is also a fabulous turner and technician!

[austXXdinkY]

i love how at the end of her fouettes shes just like ohhh i guess i can just add a third turn in there.

haha BRILLIANT!

[jeanemail7]

She is daring. Love this.

[Nat0ta]

хороша, нет слов!

[patoric19877]

DIVA

[balletgirl357642]

That was amazing!!!! The first jump she just sailed through the air. And her fouettes were amazing!!!!

[DanceDanceDance10002]

That part in the beginning! she just sails through the air into his arms!!!

[somethingmrraculous]

Jesus she just sails right through the air! Amazing!

[littlerussiangirl1]

i am watching don quixote live with her tonight!!! i cant wait!!

[evbroadway]

I was at the live performance tonight in Chapel Hill as well--amazingly beautiful!

[littlerussiangirl1]

yes,it was fantastic, wasnt it? i did not want to leave :)

[evbroadway]

I agree. I did not want to leave either. It was difficult to go to work today. My mind was still in the clouds!

[valkyrie0316]

wow..

[inseita]

ballet kommt von bolschoi

[danceyman]

BEAUTIFUL!

[nnadda]

what is this .. the jumps were marvellous ..the fouettes were more than perfect

[ach69]

mabye this is ignorant, but can anyone tell me why is it such an advantage to have high arches these days? please help! thanks :)

[wigglebells]

well, having nice arches makes your feet look really nice. it's kind of stereotypical, as dancers are suppose to have bendy feet. but it makes your dance look more amazing in a way.

[eamileak]

It legnthens your line more, where as low arches tend to shorten it. :)

[SukLengWong]

Fantastic fouettes.. I have not seen any other dancer who does fouettes that fast and still keeping up with the music.

Lovely three segments of Don Quixote. Loved the first and last bit the most!

[emmabananna77]

jump was- omg

[odile77]

I love her... she flies!

[sofiabaptista]

sorry, I changed her name...but the rest of the comment remains absolutely valid!

[sofiabaptista]

Maximova...maxim technique...maxim joy...maxim in every way. Bravissima!

[bolshoiboy8]

this isnt maximova...

[balletgirl357642]

the beginning gives me a heart attack it is amazing

[Ballet33Hottie]

ha iam so proud that we have the same names!

[jamsmen]

Wow amazing. She has so much energy. Can I steal her fouettes please?

[Heartistic4Him]

Oh my gosh!!! That SCARED me sooo bad!! That is an amazing example of partnering!!! AAAAHHHHHH I'm still recovering from the shock.

[DreamBallet]

i love the energy that she has

[lovellycupid]

W O W!

[cubanmiamiboy]

Heads down everybody! Solo busquen la variacion por Viengsay Valdes-(o incluso mejor su cisne negro)-, para ahi ver como es que se hace un fouetee perfecto, sin moverse del sitio, working leg in a perfect a la second.

[lifeistoxic]

She is absolutely stunningly amazing. Those jumps + fouettes! Perfect control and it all looks so effortless!

[danceyman]

its the best fuette!

[dri1085]

GORGEOUS!!!!!

WONDERFUL!!!!

[seigrandeale]

brava

[tutugirl4life]

OMG does anyone see how far she jumps into that guys arms!!! AMAZING

[cellolove7]

YEAH!!!! what if she didn't go far enough or went too far?!?!?!? she'd fall on her head.

[tutugirl4life]

No i mean that she left the floor at such distance from him it was AMAZING!!!! So much trust in him to catch her.... Seriously if you watch other clips of this part everyone leaves the ground next to her partners feet but she leaves it at a crazy amazing distance!!!

[cellolove7]

Yeah, i know. I was just saying......a mistake could have been disastrous. I wouldn't be able to make the right shape with my body. I would be way too scared

[tutugirl4life]

Ya totally same but she is beyond human so that explains why she does it... :)

[deugarriza2006]

xcierto merluzasfritas, me estás ofendiendo xq en ningun momento e menospreciado tus comentarios ni me e metido con nadie y menos contigo y tu sin conocerme de nada me atacas y menosprecias....

[LuisloAbuelo]

y de Tamara Rojo, justamente lo que me gusta es lo diferente que es físicamente de las bailarinas rusas, y el grado de perfección técnica que alcanza aunque no sea tan "gimnasta", y creo que eso es muy positivo sobre todo para la gente que empieza y estudia, de no asignar unos cánones físicos e interpretativos concretos a una gran estrella... (opinión de un aficionado...)

Pero vamos, esto por buscar diferencias, porque todos los videos son bellísimos e impresionantes.

[deugarriza2006]

estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo

pero como aki todos van de entendidos(no va por usted) simplemente dejaré de opinar...

[LuisloAbuelo]

Queridos/as merluzasfritas y deugarrizas2006,

creo que todo lo que comentáis es muy interesante y nada imcompatible, no voy a entrar en consideraciones técnicas porque soy un simple aficionado y no entiendo...

Brevemente mis impresiones:

Todos los videos de profesionales son impresionantes y casi perfectos.

A mi los bailarines "rusos" me parecen demasiado gimnastas y poco expresivos", me repele ver Carmen p.e. De entre éstos Maria me parece la mejor, o sea la más expresiva.

[merluzasfritas]

noooooo, como que no entiendes? Entiendes estupendamente de ballet, porque para saber de ballet no hay que estar graduado en la Vaganova... hay que entender la musica , la historia, lo que hay detrás de cada paso. Lo que te guste a ti, lo que te toque el alma, es lo correcto, eso es ballet.

[deugarriza2006]

"Don Quijote: Tamara Rojo, var y coda"

busca y compara......

[merluzasfritas]

Mira, que no quiero entrar en controversia. Que me parece muy bien que tu veas fallos en la tecnica de una bailarina principal del Bolshoi, a la que ademas entrena una Assoluta.A Tamara Rojo la he visto no en youtube, no, en el ROH como mas de 25 veces, como Giselle, como Nikiya, como Kitri, como Aurora, como Odette, en Jewells...como kitri, a mi, personalmente ni frio ni calor. Pero yo no voy a enseñar tecnica al Bolshoi, al Mariinsky o al ROH, voy a ver ballet.

[merluzasfritas]

Pero aparte, tu comprendes k Alexandandrova esta haciendo fouettes rusas?verdad?

[deugarriza2006]

la verdad q es muy fina y es impresionante pero yo barro pa casa...como los fouetés de tamara rojo no hay nada

esta chica no pega el pie a la rodilla, no ace plié y no cierra el passé an avant lo ace medio torcida...

pero igualmenmte es impresionante parece q está volando y q es sencillo akello q para acerlo te dejas el culo dias y dias...

[merluzasfritas]

tendremos que hablar con el Bolshoi, a ver que pasa que contratan a bailarinas k no saben nada de tecnica, podrias ir tu a enseñarles a hacer las fouettes correctamente?

[deugarriza2006]

perdona pero creo q lo q e comentado es observable....o no?¿

no me e metido con ella...q yo sepa vamos...solo e echo un comentario

igual es q tengo mal la vista y veo fallos donde no los ay

[LuisloAbuelo]

Maria consigue una combinación de explosión física e interpretación que la hace mucho más elegante que sus compañeras Zakharova o Osipova...

[merluzasfritas]

Piensa que a Maria la entrena Maya, algo ha tenido k enseñarle!!!x eso es tan espectacular!aunque haya cosas k no se pueden aprender, claro, como su habilidad para saltar.

[ImKraKen]

the man must b really pressured..if i was her i would threaten him backstage b4 we go on..."dont you dare drop me!!"

[balletfreak329]

Oh my gosh! How does she do that? I would be scared to death!

[ImKraKen]

that jump was so pretty and floaty, i wonder how many times the guy has dropped her in practise.

[LilacQueen406]

That was amazing!! Shes a very pretty dancer =} lol

[lexxrussia]

It would be very good, if you allowed references whence these clips are taken.

[akdanzer]

amazing dancer...that jump at the beginning requires so much trust and her fouettes are incredible.

[Rosesv]

Wow I loved her fouettes!

[strongflyer]

WOW!!!! BRAVOOO

[potc12and3]

btw i know this is don quixote the only ballet i did w/ boston ballet was the nutcracker

[potc12and3]

i would kill 2 go bck 2 ballet

i was with the boston ballet and i miss it so much i left b/c things were getting 2 me and i wanted to continue with the instruments i was doing it is so painful for me to hear the nutcracker music...

[salolialawidisgi]

[tutus4life]

[serendipidy77]

[tutus4life]

holy crap i think my heart just stopped. and like that guy said BRAVO! omg and her fouettes are crazy and her 5 turns and ending in balance. AH im in shock

[vfd88]

The most amazing part for me was her jumping into the guy's arms. She was so far away! She flew!

[Clockmouth]

OMG I KNOW!! my heart jumped and skipped afew beats- itw as amazing! breath-taking! :D :D

[3ama4life]

wow. ok everyone is talking about the fouettes, i just like how she throws herself horizontally with such grace into that guy's arms

[kwelte86]

Ya!!! That's trust!

[veganveganshannon]

omg... she stayed on the the same speck of stage through all those fouettes...

[rogue980]

i counted 32 fouettes DAMN.

[Nikolettasays]

BEAUTIFUL!

[hjxa]

the ending of the fouettes is simply breathetaking and so in control just makes me cry

[jacobsimon]

Makes me dizzy watching her fouettes. An incredible feat of dance and athleticism.

[foambuddie]

holy shiz

[camaieu]

It was 32 I think. :P It's normal number of fouettes which does the best ballerinas :)

[GranPavese]

30 fuettes? Really impressive! *Uuuh! I Love Fuettes!*

[kittenstomper]

[pinkballet]
