This clip was taken from the wonderful miniseries 'Ballerina', hosted by Makarova, that aired here in the states on the A & E Network, around 1987 or so. I remember it was the first place I ever saw Sylvie Guillem - Makarova introduced her on the show as a major new talent. And the rest is history...
to MomoTheDirector: it's not *what* they're doing, it's HOW they do it. It takes years of training to get to this control of the body and we, dancers, appreciate it.
I'm not angry. Just curious. Were you talking about ballet in general? Were you including modern dance? Is there some other kind of dance that you enjoy watching? If so, what does it have that this lacks?
PERFECTION.

Sorry. I was wrong about my own clip. She is 20 here. See my clip, Maurice Bejart on Sylvie Guillem.

I dont get it....whats so beautiful about females and males moving their legs and arms in slow motion? They probably do that in bed.
P.S
THIS IS MY OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT SEND HATE MESSEGES OF WHAT I QUOTE, FOR I AND EVERYONE ELSE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION.

do you have any idea how hard it is to move like that?
Or how much talent you need to have it look that beautiful and have so much passion?
GRRiTSELeNA 2 years ago 2
yes, and people are also entitled to the consequences of their words.

I think it's still a crime that Eric Vu An NEVER became an official ETOILE at the POB.
