[aanniiee21]

She IS Kitri

[estupidosdemierdable]

repeat. repeat. repeat. repeat. and repeat...oh! and repeat once more. repeat. repeat. repeat....I can't stop! seriously...she is awesome!!

[Ballerinchen1000]

do you think a 12 year old girl can dance that?

[yardenz3]

goosebumps...

[littlesheep11]

Even Osipova isn´t as lean as Zhakarova, sh´s PERFECT for this. Looks fantastic

[tatycarrera]

I love when she gives that kiss to him!!!!!

[nicolebriii]

so much better than svetlana.

[Giuggi95TheBest]

I was just like O___O

[LylaBallerina]

Natalia Airlines

[mika02803]

В сравнении с великой Максимовой и талантливейшей Плисецкой Осипова просто девка-чернавка.

[parfy1000]

@mika02803 На себя посмотри, помещица СалтЫчиха!

[parfy1000]

BRAVO, NATASHA!!!!!!!

[BelleConstantine]

This is probably the best recent interpretation of Kitri I've ever had the pleasure to witness. But still...NOONE can own Kitri but Maya Plisetskaya. Just search her Kitri version and see what I mean.

[DancePink26]

That was so intense! Wow, unbelievable is all I can say.

[awesomekatbutterfly]

this variation just looks amazing and natural on her... everything just looks like she was meant to dance it!!! while others struggle with the movements, everything is just perfect on her!

[PrettyPrincesses413]

OMFG!!!! WOW!!!!!

[pethrushka]

oh...Nataliya osipova... You r a greate dancer... My favourite

[NatashaADanceStar]

MY IDOL!! <3 <3

[isthatmarcee]

holy shit that gave me goosebumps.

[omgsls]

One word. WOW!!!!

[746hirydutu]

とても素晴らしい技術を持ってる方ですね。勢いもあっていいです­。ただ、個人的に彼女の踊りは好きじゃないです。すみません。

[fullofliebe]

i really never get bored to see her as Kitri...she is so amazing!!!!

[MancBalletShoes]

nataaalia! she's soo amazing, i actually kindof almost don't believe she's real lol.... (tho i do because i saw her in london! Romeo and Juliet with Ivan: amazing!) :) :)

[snowleopard89]

This should be the new 5 hour energy commercial!

[avesraggiana]

@snowleopard89 No kidding.

[brownballerina97]

What is this song?

[avesraggiana]

@brownballerina97 It’s not a song. It’s music for Kitri’s variation in Don Quixote Act 1, composed by Ludwig Minkus.

[brownballerina97]

Why is there are 'dislike' button here? it should be replaced with this is 'freaking' awesome button!!!

[catluvahxoxo]

She abandons herself like no other ballerina. Bravo, you have found the way to let your soul shine through your dancing

[lilidafication]

Oh, whta an energy, exaltation, flight , power and freedom of dance! Loved it!

[brelion96]

I watched this video a thousand times and still have goose bumps

[randomxcupcake]

is this the so famous best kitri? im sorryyyy, i LOVE HER and all the other ballerinas, but this is not the best.. the beginnign is just messy for me, the final is trlly good but the beginning.. i personally dont like it. i still prefeer zakharova. but thats my personal opinion, so dont hate.

[urranuss]

@randomxcupcake gotta agree this is pretty messy by her standards.not sure whats going on,maybe having an off night but she isn't quite as on top of the variation as she usually is.however its still outstanding by anyone else's standard

[veronicamanrique]

@randomxcupcake it's kind of messy but i think it's THIS performance. I've seen other performances of her playing Kitri and she is the best Kitri ever.

[asianflower97]

OH SNAP SHE GOOD

[avesraggiana]

Now THAT is a Kitri variation.

[CrazyFleury]

She' s amazing!!! Her jumps, her technical are all GREAT!!! She's the best Kitri i've seen. The role is especially for her.... I hope one day to see her to my country.!!!

[zzp1]

No better Kitir! Bravo Natalia!

[ludodebarbieri]

I can't stop watching this, she is so powerful.

[1414Re]

so powerfull, that role is for her

[Lyndybop]

Her jumps are AMAZING with the exception of the pas de chats whihc seem very messy......I guess that just adds to the role though...

[Gebuhebu]

I don't know how many times I've watched this, but each time I'm still amazed.

She is gorgeous.

[cms7591]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[nightswimmer99]

She looks almost surreal in this...

[rogelio2ify]

I had the great pleasure of seeing her as Kitri two nights ago. At the Bolshoi, the New Stage. With V. Lopatin, an admirable Basil. A joy to behold.

[rogelio2ify]

I had th

[danceyselena]

the best kitri. ever.

[Coolestkylie]

she's perfecttttttt omg

[Lizzitarock]

Corto y genial 1La adoro!

[BlackAmberMoon]

My god, she just ATTACKED this variation! Brava!

[Star2Be5394]

Not only do I love how my energy and fluidity she brings to her dancing, I also love the little things she does in her performance, such as that expression of joy at the end of the variation (the smile and foot flick) and ESPECIALLY the kiss she blows to the guy before she starts her pirouettes. Lovely, lovely performance. :)

[jandminnkeepers]

She dances with passion whereas Svetlana Zakharova dances technically beautifully but sometimes the passion is lost.

[Playboybunny69love]

what is this music called and who is the conductor, and choreographer?? please respond i need this for class :)

[DarkAngelsForever]

As much as I love and admire her dancing, I can't stand her feet... They always seem unstretched... Svetlana Zakhavora and Polina Semionova got my favourite feet ever ;)

[psora1]

Amazing jumps and fouettes!

[GabiAmoriiim1]

linda demaaaaaaaaaaaaais

[loulie1997]

Wow!!!!! I looooove her as kitri!!!! That was incredible! Those jupmps and padichas are amazing! Love her!!

[chandlerbingforever2]

BEST KITRI EVER! natalia osipova is one of the best dancers ever, for sure. love her!

[ieasharan13]

I feel for me she is head to head with Sylvie Guillem. They are both phenomenal dancers. True inspirations!

[nwm9511]

i love natalia osipova's kitri variation...she's one of my favorite dancers

[mareandzoe]

i love her kitri variation...

[616Metalprincess616]

she´s also good as sleeping beauty!

[snowleopard89]

Hello Kitri!! It's nice to FINALLY meet you!!

[tian6686]

she prob vomitted backstage

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

I can never decide if I prefer her version or Sylvie Guillem's, they're both so amazing.

[Orchiidify]

NATALIA AIRLINES !!! :)))

[Pauuulis]

i just keep on watching this variation coz i love it

[adgballet96]

YES.

[jadoredeledanse]

so much energy! amazing talent, and having her blow a kiss in the middle was a nice touch!

[BalletTapJazz]

It's so obvious she's enjoying it thoroughly. & that makes it fun to watch.

[AGVF88]

The last part it's so intense and amazing that makes wanna stand up and scream her: BRAAAAAAAVO!

[pottermoreFUIM]

i love her in this variation because its like you can almost FEEL the emotion, its so wild just like it was meant to be

[11199666]

great energy ! great technique ! great dancer !

[EverlastingxHope]

Good God. What the hell does she take before she goes onstage? She's amazing!

[balletluvr932]

You can tell she loves this dance... Especially at the end:) AMAZING!!!

[JenyaZ14]

WOW!

She's flying!!!! 

[Tamarindi8]

VERY GOOD!!!!

[raditudedude]

Favorite kitri, gives me chills

[teresaplz]

INSUPERABLE sin palabras

[teresaplz]

INSUPERABLE

[prettyfits]

My god, she is wonderful.

[bolshoiboy8]

Shes so good at it because she really loves it and when shes doing it you can see she gets joy from it. She loves to jump and run and the music makes her excited. When you really love it you forget about everything else.

[TheKlerr]

MAGNIFICA!!!! <3

[123AbRaCaPoCuS]

My toes hurt now.....

[SophieNeveudancer]

i see her, in this variation, i analize her and i still dont get how she is SO perfect! honest she is brilliant!

[nightswimmer99]

Okay, I'm still pretty new to all this, but just an observation... When you compare Osipova's clips to Zakharova's in this role, it looks like Zakharova is trying to summon the energy; with Osipova it's already there and she's simply releasing it.

[TheAscendingOne]

wow that was WILD!

[SeiraVonKarma]

this is worringly fast

[gre1990]

i do really prefer sylvie guillen on this one...

not that energetic, but a lil more sofisticated

[dancer4freakinlife]

@gre1990 Kitri is suppossed to be fiery, fun and energetic, she's not a sophisticated princess

[Hemeritt]

I watched it like 50 times.. this girl is awesome.! almost made me cry, she definitely killed me with this..

[Selene3210]

THAT;S GODDAMN FAST

[kurichka]

The best thing is that, as we see her so "possessed" and gorgeous, when she's Giselle she's absolutely sensitive and futile. So it's not the kind of ballerina that make one perfect role, and the rest are regular. She's excellent whatever she dances!

[LRBSballerinaz]

she looks possesed - in a good way

[88888Di88888]

I think the Orchestra can't follow her becaus SHE'S SO QUICK! :D I love here!

[Selene3210]

OK, that's fast. That's incredibly fast. Well done girl

[kitri24]

she just flies!!!! its absolutely incredible!

[FyreBalletDancer]

that girl only comes down from her jumps because the music asks her to !!

[TheBunduBallerina]

@FyreBalletDancer That's very well put!! Thanks for your comment!

[ellandelachapelle]

@TheBunduBallerina Hahahaha yes she is a butterfly!

[vaganovafan]

@FyreBalletDancer the best kitri ever!!!I love her in that role,and she has helium under her skirt!! it's like nijinsky ever said after the question if it was difficult to stay in the air as he did while jumping..."No!No! Not difficult,You have to just go up and then pause a little up there"!!!hahaha,I think mme osipova thinks the same!

[FyreBalletDancer]

@vaganovafan true. she's like the most recogniseable dancer of today just because of her jump (maybe with Zakharova w/ her arch)

[SweetMissBisou]

Is that even physically possible? Ö

Amazing..

[AleArt09]

WOOOOOW!!!!

[HannahGharnett]

She flies ! BEST KITRI EVER ! Her jumps are perfect... she dances like a butterfly I adore her. She's the best on allegros. She has the best jumps ever. Her movements and steps are very fast !!!

[potatopancakez]

haha i love the face at the end! :D she's soo amazing. one of my favorites right up there with polina semionova. <3

[sailoradrian]

I saw this live!

she's PERFECT!♥

Best Kitri ever :D

[thesnowhitequeen]

WOW!

[Raedwulff]

I keep watching Plisetskaya and Osipova doing this same segment over and over again. Both make me weep at the joy and spirit and what the human body is capable of.

[AndBecomeADuck]

She's so jumpy! Amazing
