Natalia Osipova at 17, Esmeralda variation (Bolshoi Ballet Academy)

[TheNovacaine777]

:') wow

[loulie1997]

i did not care for how high her arabesque was, i mean maybe it was supposed to be a full extension but if that was the case it was too low and those are usually done with a partner.... don't get me wrong i LOOOVE natalia, best kitri EVER but not my esmeralda...

[Cubertubis]

@loulie1997 I think you're mad bro

[loulie1997]

@Cubertubis i very well might be but this video just doesn't do it for me... maybe it's just the quality

[DRAMAQUEEN1195]

my new favorite esmeralda!!!!!!!!!!

[ThatOneTheatreGirl]

whoa, weird. YouTube is only showing my 1,513,296 views on this video...

[Becki575]

her passe in her pirouettes is like mine... really high and a little overcrossed. no wonder my russian ballet teachers are always getting on me... :) oh well. lol

[dancetillidi]

INSANE arabesque!!! oh my gosh!

[ijessicaah]

I'm hoping to learn an Esmeralda variation in the new year, and this is by FAR the best one I've found. Speechless o.o

[dancersrule1]

*speechless*

[YaoiYuriNarutoFan1]

Her strength and control is impressive! Also her stretch and movement is very good.

Totally impressed. :]

[kathrinasong]

beautiful ending!!

[ThatOneTheatreGirl]

0:41

okay, i'm going to go and stretch now...

[ThatOneTheatreGirl]

I think she might just be one of my favorite dancers.

[isthatmarcee]

oh ma gawd i love her.

isnt it funny how here her pointe shoes look pretty and in like recently her pointe shoes look awkward? :O! but either way that doesnt affect how amazing she is :D

[eimsirovic111]

0:28 omg 

[bow2myia]

she's amazing. Up there with svetlana. Maybe as good as her even

[jewelmarkess]

She is so amazing, a true artist. I find she spoiled me for anybody else dancing this variation. Whenever I watch others I think of this, and nobody else comes close.

[laurenfatcat]

thumbs up if you just wanted to listen to the music but couldn't take your eyes of the screen!

[LittleMissPhan10]

beautiful

[marieelpetraa]

o.O so beautiful

[goredoll1]

She's always the best in every single variation she does.

[angel765438]

[gelios1970]

Блестяще ) Умничка.

[LaudanumDrinker]

[LittleMissPhan10]

[THEaNimAl13579]

This is amazing!! I wanted to cry!!

[1497mari]

@iDancer101

I don't think that is human, although she is super super flexible x

[MsMariatelles]

osipova or die <3

[iDancer101]

0:41 Is that human?

[spaceyplace]

@iDancer101 Honestly, you're talking about Natalia Osipova. Of COURSE it isn't human.

[suziioliveira]

Não estamos falando de um simples ballet, estamos falando de Bolshoi, Russia.

[MrBarbaraRodrigues]

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaraca ela é muito Divã *-*' Dança muito \õ/ está de parabéns !

[cdubvee]

I love her because you can see her absolute passion for what she is doing. She is definitely my dance role model and inspiration :)

[haighimirish]

i love her tutu

:D

[inesdecastrocorreia]

for me, she is who has more personality

[fulanigoldnbeauty]

I think this has to be the best esmerelda variation ive seen on here.This was perfection

[retroalex1]

*goes and puts on pointe shoes to practice*

[Dreamers79Norandbing]

@retroalex1 Same. ugggg

[Clochette68128]

À la fin de cette vidéo, je n'ai qu'une envie, c'est être dans le public, l'applaudir à ne plus avoir de main, et hurler BRAVO jusqu'à ce que je n'ai plus de voix.

[StanVideo123]

Amazing talent! Watch our featured video of The Nut Cracker on my channel!

[anchyyy1]

Ok, this is absolutely, with no doubt, the best Esmeralda variation I have ever seen. And, trust me, I've seen a lot of them. I love it!

[dandanm12]

PERFECT ♥

[inesdecastrocorreia]

amazing...



[bloodyrose281]

love the costume!!

[Byckify]

Bailarinos são o reflexo de seus professores, dê um impecável e seguro e o resultado será o esplendor; mas dê um esquecido e antiprofissional que os futuros bailarinos serão desleixados e indisciplinados, nunca alcançarão seu potencial máximo.

[JuLeeRodriguez]

Best Esmeralda variation o/

[ickiepooo]

Russian-trained ballerinas bourree better than American/English dancers. What exactly is the difference? I see it, but can't explain it.

[Byckify]

@ickiepooo Dancers are the reflection of their teachers, give them an impeccable and secure and the result will be the glory, but give them an unprofessional and forgotten and the result wll be sloppy and undisciplined dancers, they will never reach their full potential.

[MrKLT1945]

@ickiepooo Have to disagree with you up to a point - I find many Russians these days do not seem to have the 'melting' knees in bourrees that we in Britain were taught years ago and which many other nationalities show today. Makarova for me was the last of the Russians to really flow and ripple through bourrees.

[orangetreble]

i keep watching this video over n over again!

[claire2shae9696]

perfection...

[scapin2207]

amazing <3

[Shleoss]

Osipova is the best !



[Multilovebubbles1]

she could just pirouette forever and never stop and be like its been 12 days!

[florosada98]

Es impresionante como Natalia Osipova baila

Yo enserio la admiro!!! Sus posisiones tan altas....como gira ... como salta

Es muy envidiable ya que no todas las bailarinas pueden hacer todo bien, es mi idola, quiesiera llegar a ser como ella algun dia :)

[Zvane100]

that's vaganova everyone! I lvoe Natalia

[danefritz2006]

she is the sylvie of the new generation!!!

[Ki104ytr]

She is so full of fire, this girl, she has so much energy, she is so expressive! I love her!

[lostnga]

She is just perfect

[xxkish93]

perfect legs, perfect feet, perfect stage presence, and the control, flexibility, and technique to go with it all. Perfect dancer <3 I wanna be her

[Leirix61]

Just thought a little :) Would be a nice feature to mass ignore people, who vote red.

[cibelechiarot]

beautiful variation

[chainedserendipity]

This is the most gorgeous Esmerelda I've ever seen. She just dances it with so much passion and you can see she loves what she's doing. Congratulations!

[Missing000Heart44354]

i have seen a lot of variations for Esmeralda, this one has always been my favorite. =)

[vsxvjnusv]

The best thing about watching Natalia dancing is that you can just SEE how much she loves to . Thats how it works in life - when people love what they do it looks so good and easy .

[Iluvmahtrianglezz201]

SO MUCH LOVE

[caroline56481]

AMAZINIG

[michalleby]

I wish I could dance like her!



[momobu1999]

i loved it. i am doing this dance.... but not as good as her

[xszetaxy]

best choreography, presentation and emotions ever!

[dancermoom]

How.. wha.... I can't even... Wow. Absolutely beautiful.

[lyktheresno1watching]

She is not the best Esmeralda; she IS Esmeralda.

[ThatOneTheatreGirl]

Um, YouTube, I think there's a problem here. This video only has 1,393,759 views. I think it's only displaying how many times I'VE watched it.

[soyuncatacol]

She's very musical. And her extensions are... OHMYGOD. :D

[pinkprincess795]

that was beautiful

[mliaab]

best. esmeralda. ever.

[petitratdeladanse]

Magnifique!!! Il n'y a que la mauvaise gestion de l'espace pendant le manège qu'on pourrait lui reprocher, mais après tout, elle danse tellement bien que la laisser tout le temps sur le devant de la scène ne me dérange absolument pas!! ; )

[Devhan1]

Amazing

[MrZerezita]

exelente la vcariasion me encdanta

[TheDebbylovesonohra]

Splendida splendida splendida!

La adoro è la variazione di Esmeralda più bella in assoluto :D

[zemoo8]

[LiNkEnPaRkGiRl]

als sie fertig war hätte ich fast auch geklatscht xD

[lamusica18]

E' vero queste 79 persone hanno seri problemi alla vista...

[iLuvMewzik]

79 people want a tambouine (y)

[LiberaDiDanzare]

78 persone hanno GRAVI problemi.

[brokenpointeMV]

It seems the music is a little to slow.

[Najmniejsza]

Ileż ona ma w sobie gracji...i te ruchy...Prawdę mówią, że z tym się trzeba urodzić i nie można nauczyć. Ten taniec jest niesamowity.

[AndDanielaSays]

79 people are severely blind.

[dance4life711]

WOW

[zackurious123454]

79 ppl hav mental issues

[Partygirlsunited]

absolutely stunning

[bolshoiballet1]

So beautiful. To see a lovely girl that is talented at such a young age nowadays makes me think, wow she may someday be one of the best dancers in the world. That is the wonder that i received from watching this video of Ms. Osipova.

[MrKLT1945]

Going to see her and her fiance Ivan Vasiliev in Romeo & Juliet in London. I think I am in for quite a treat!!!

[TheMuddy208]

@MrKLT1945 Ivan Vasiliev is her fiance???

[MrKLT1945]

@TheMuddy208 Yes. lol

[Black66Swan]

That's really amazing. She's incredible!

[QueenAnnesFury]

Absolutely amazing! I love it!

[MrFtaz]

beautyfullllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­l!!!!!!!!!!

[mariaBal2]

wait... is her name natalia? i thought it was esmeralda!:)

[FD02Ballet]

@xNandaRibeiro I agree with you how can anybody dislike this!

[teresaplz]

is the best dancer I've seen in my entire life, has charm, mischief, technique, flexibility, rhythm, dulzura.She's a PERFECTION MADE WOMAN . I never tire of seeing it on youtube shame to see it live within reach of a few . Osipova the best

[hisakata32]

there is a charisma and allure that flows off this girl that makes you want to watch her her dance again and again. all the others don't have the charm and fluidity that she possesses, they all seem rather stiff and mechanic. she makes ballet look so effortless and charming that i want to pick it up again.

[vsxvjnusv]

She is the reason im addicted to YouTube now- all i do is search more and more videos of her :]

She makes me so jealous..

[25vladimirovich]

Могу смотреть ВСЕГДА!!!

[swimmer798]

she's really good! But sometimes it seems like she's hitting the tambourine kinda off beat...

[alkodjdjd]

This is by far the best esmeralda in youtube: osipova is amazing

[Curandera99]

Amazing! She makes a wonderful Esmeralda! Simply Stunning!

[MrGober93]

she...is...flaw...less... i would love to see this from her POV or from the audience.

[FyreBalletDancer]

does it really get better than that ?? this and Maria Kochetkova's are def. the best i've ever seen

[BellaLove18Ya]

She's just amazing!!



[LRBSballerinaz]

I do not see her extensions or pirouettes...I see Esmeralda

[VeRuSHee]

I can't belive this... No words... This is really amazing... She is amazing... I love this video...

[arabellaballerina]

my insperation

[xNandaRibeiro]

78 people have problem

[aTimeForDancing96]

[IsabelaCS0808]

[teresaplz]

Natalia Number One

[90Lyka]

In soviet russian, people dance ballet.

In America, ballet dance people

[angelbaby233]

@90Lyka HAHAHAHA

[Nena134G]

@90Lyka is this a diss to america? haha

[MsMixis]

Amazing!

[dance4liberty69]

unbelievably beautiful..

[elfology]

I have yet to find this variation performed as beautifully as Natalia does in this video.

[Shleoss]

Osipova IS THE BEST !

[YouMakeMeSmile202]

By far my FAVORITE Esmeralda :)

[ShyatArp93]

that stage is sooo big!

[masazumiki]

i like her passe!

[marcelin1140]

she's a wonderful ballerina, i love this dance of esmeralda

[nicktesla45]

This is another one of those killer ballerinas! No shit bro some of these girls can punch a hole in your stumach with a kick ! that is how hard their toes are , They can kick a hole in a door . Do not piss-off a Ballerina ever ! They are very weird and Hot tempered , If you don't believe me just rent the movie " The Black Swan" . If you are dating a ballerina like I am you better do anything she says and do it with a smile! As you can see Natalia Osipova became lethal at only 17 years old.

[narniaprincess05]

other dancers may come close and even surpass this technique. but add natalia's technique to her complete embodiment of the character of esmeralda and no one will ever come close.

[RacbecSkywalker]

can somebody PLEASE tell me the name of this song? It's absolutely beautiful and I've been looking EVERYWHERE for it!!!

[Leirix61]

@RacbecSkywalker La Esmeralda - it is a ballet based on the - damned my english - "Glöckner von Notre Dame<

[loveG7love]

nossa essa mulher é o cara, minha idola um dia eu chego perto...

[13saraleme]

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! 

[toastertastic]

You know this is amazing because it's a ballet video with more that one million views.

[Leirix61]

@toastertastic youtube.com/watch?v=Uz2Gp7a38D­M this one has 3,7 Mio, but nevertheless Natalia Osipova is of a higher level :)

That doesnt mean, i dont like Polina Semionova. I enyoy, when she visits Vienna and i have several DVDs of her performances :)

[Leirix61]

@toastertastic youtube.com/watch?v=ECIlMAzJFX­c here its in a higher solution, only watched by 6.600 :)

[EtrangerStranger]

Woah! This is great! 

[Leirix61]

this is the variation for this century, maybe more :)

[kath123456789]

best esmerelda i've ever seen hands down.

natalie's body language, not just her technique, is impressive. She acts like an esmeralda (if that makes any sense). And she's a gorgeous dancer as well!
