Beautiful fouettes

[SuperMissballet]

amazing =D

[PinkKissedLips]

Beautiful extension, but the flexed foot is avoidable.

[TinyBallerina1995]

I dont mean to offen any of you but her foot didnt hit the ground. Now i know it doesnt have to mine doesnt but she flexed her foot as if she was putting it down but other that it was very nice

[angelshanna77889]

amazing...

[kbtdancer1222]

that looks killer hard!!!!!!!!!

[odile77]

this is a jaw opener... who is that? I watch it and watch it and can´t believe it... do yo have the complete variation?

[Politeama]

Beautiful!

[Imeldachelo]

flexing the foot makes a good line. and "from behind", you can't see that it is actually flexed, so there's just the illusion of a pointed, beautifully turned out foot.. :)

[ballerina008]

i think the point here is her amazing control though :)

[OnlyBallet]

Yes good point(e).

[OnlyBallet]

I don't see any sickle in her attitude. And the flexed foot is intentional, so it's not a technical fault. It's just the way she was taught. But yes, very strong!

[balletchick9088]

veryy clean and strong, but she tends to sickle the foot when she hits her attitude and also flex it..

[stphnwilmarth]

that was REALLY bad. flexed foot...didnt get all the way around. hips out of place BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!!!

[shopaholic123456789]

oh yeah, she does flex her foot:) i didn't notice until i watched it the second time.

[OnlyIssa]

Did she win? She was good!!!

[OnlyBallet]

I hope she won:) But I don't know...

[biggmama314]

Amazing control and balance!

[uhohitznalene]

y does she keep on flexing her foot?

[mochabubble]

i think its because in italian fouettes, you need to brush through first to keep your balance and to do a good releve

[OnlyBallet]

Thanks for that info. I was also wondering about the flexed foot (although it doesn't bother me because she does it so well!).

[sweetgirl76]

her foot...haha. she flexes her foot..

[8gracia8]

what ballet competition is this?

[OnlyBallet]

The Moscow International Ballet Competition, I think.

[HottieDancer9]

yea that was amazing!...but that foot! gah!

[gratefulgrace]

flexed foot is annoying.

[xballerinadreamsx]

i know,it was annoying me the whole way through

[TheMadelineMcKenna]

Damn, she does have major control

[ramklov79]

oh wow thats awesome, this is the music from la bayadere correct?

[mrlopez2681]

Italian fouettes? I often wonder what, where, and when people started calling it this. In Russia it is known loosely as 'Grand fouette', as it always has been. I think maybe it was the old Itlian virtuosas who performed in Impieral Russia who introduced this step, hence the 'Itlaian' in the title 'Italian fouettes'.

[burakserkancebeci]

wooww ıts very clean and strong..

[cutiealexa]

how old is she??????

[sloppyjamsopie]

yep these are italian fouettes x

[bigposercroise]

Look at Sizova and Nureyev in the Le Corsair variation from 1958. Sizova adds complexity, and also doesn't flex her foot as she turns, which for some reason is done here.

[WyverxCA]

Her flexed foot bugged me.

[vikoulinilar89]

it is italian!! :D and it is reeeeeaaaaally slow!!

[whiskers]

thats soooo much control

[ACJ204]

wow thats a lot of control

[equestrianlove13]

hey they were pretty good. better than mine atleast.

[20stasturias]

estan de putisima madreee muy bien xaalina=)

[balletmaniac999]

That is definately an Italian fouette.

[OnlyBallet]

No, I might be wrong. Or maybe people call it different names.

[xxtinydancer47xx]

isnt that a russian foutte? correct me if im wrong

[ballerina612]

it's most definitley an italian fautee. and it may be slow but it shows how precise a dancer is! I am soon going to learn these! I've practiced them on my own a little out of pointe shoes, I shall see what I can do in pointe shoes! :D

[ballerina612]

I meant to say fouette I was out of it when I spelled it like that! hahaha

[mochabubble]

o.O!!!
