[Jessica449family]

[juanchem1]

[juanige8]

SHE IS AMAZING, I LOVE HER DANCE,BETTER WITH IVAN. WONDERFUL COUPLE,GREAT DANCE............

[DaRiOSpOnGi]

Perchè è così brava? E' stupenda ..

[Petroskeyful]

Oh, please shut up and let the music speak for itself. What an ego trip this guy is on.

[viehentze]

THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE. IT I PERFECT.

OSIPOVA PERFORMS LOVELY IN THE BOURNONVILLE SYLE.

[Pearlaceous]

I love Osipova's sylph - so light and airy and mischievous.

[foropera]

It is very different from Eva Evdokimova, in terms of character. Her movements are so big and free that you don't feel the humbleness and delicacy of la sylphide but rather a very joyful and liberated spirit. Ther's a little lack of tenderness in fact in the whole package. Anyway she is stunning, and brings a new breath to this piece that can be a little dusty if too preciously made.

[bestmaster3]

 Fascinating in that both leads have the extraodrinary elevation and ballon my generation used to associate with long-retired Bolshoi dancers of the era of the late Galina Ulanova and the late Vakhtang Chabukiani, but something about the choreography gives the spinal and the and scapulae placement more of a feel of Petipa than of Bournonville,

Arrow,

[jemc90]

Her arms are the most Gracious Things in the WORLD!

[littlelottedaae]

I would do anything to be her!

She is perfect!!!!

[littlelottedaae]

She make it seems so easy!

[wigglebells]

holy...those bouquets at the beginning...i would die for one of those.

[jengirl2]

she is one of my favorites and simply shines in this role. bravo natalia!

[1930joanna]

good

[cubanmiamiboy]

@MajorBunHead

It also refers to the quality of jumps/leaps or allegro steps that appear to have a soft but sustained rebound from/to the floor or stage, for example, a series of balotte saute. A dancer with good natural ballon usually has great natural spring and long achilles tendons

[cubanmiamiboy]

@MajorBunHead

Ballon refers to the ability of a ballet dancer to appear to hold a position in the air. It may be named after the French dancer Claude Balon. However it may also come from the French word ballon, meaning "balloon".

[cubanmiamiboy]

Natasha's ballon is just ridiculously perfect.

[nakasagi]

本当に手が羽みたい。

可憐。

Osipova is brilliant, but Svetlana Zakharova is a great artist. I saw her in ballet "The Lady of the Camellias" with Berlioz music. It was great impression to see that art.

[saneedblozio]

Natalia is a Sylph,,

But in my heart, she is Kitri more than a Sylph!

[FILIPINADANCER09]

so powerful and she's one of the greatest dancers of our time!

[vinllga]

Nataliya Osipova is №1 of Bolshoi ballet now. But Viyacheslav Lopatin is imho also great danser of our time!!

[saneedblozio]

Though i also like Natalia very much, shes so an amazing dancer.

I still think that Svetlana Zakharova is the top dancer in Bolshoi.

Anyway,, both of their style is very different~

[tralalaing]

amazing how she completely transforms and you can see how she is the character, and not just acts like the character, in all her movements.. what an amazing person she must be!

[Lillunja]

just perfect, how can you not love her in every role?

[pangaea611]

she's so elegant that it takes away from her grace. i dont know it's not my favorite style.

[helimets]

Did you see that guy stab his foot before the second jete. I hurt my toe really badly like that and it is still giving me problems tofay. I feel sorry for him. I hope that he feels better and that it was not very serious.

[LiisuuG]

She's so short that she looks like child to me, but love her anyway ! her jumps are just AMAZING!

[vaganovaballerina1]

she's not that short! she's 5'4''

[hnbballerina]

I love her, nver saw someone who could jump like her, or let's say fly like her!

[urranuss]

beautiful!!!

such graceful port de bras.osipova has to be the greatest female dancer of this generation hands down!

she really captures the style of every ballet she does!

[velocivixen]

i havent seen this before - im a giant fan of osipova in Don Q. and (in my opinion) this style is opposite for her - and completely stunning. she manages to take all the power she has and almost like, make it change form into grace and a more gentle approach. so beautiful, brava natalia.

[milli810]

Totally agree- I would not have thought this would be a good role for her but she is a PERFECT Sylph

[cacahuates123]

she is awesome!!! but her pointe shoes look really strange in this... like they are really dead, but they're not

[dattigrerawr]

She's a BEAUTIFUL dancer!!

If she dyed her hair blonde she

could pass as a Taylor Swift. =]

[TheTravelBug89]

What an insult to Natalia. She's so beautiful.

[prn4ustat]

she's amazing! she makes it look so floaty and so beautiful!! i jump and look like a tonne of bricks instead!

[1950nefertiti]

прекрасный ролик!!!

[Uta420]

Her movements are like those little wings on her tutu are real and she is just hovering above the ground. So light, so fresh so talented!

[BLynn93]

That is the most beautiful costume on the most beautiful sylph :)

[ballet4evernever]

she is so charmful osipova is beautiful shes ob voiusly can't be the typical kind of ballerina because osipova is "special" she dances like no one else she is the new greatest ballerina.

[Yuy87]

Not the "typical" Sylphide,but I really enjoyed watching this joyful interpretation of Osipova. That was nice!!

[Idanceallnight]

Look how she glides it's like the costume becomes a part of her.

[revoltade]

What a good part for Osipova, not very danish in the style, but still very enjoyable and charming with her impeccable technique and youtful charm

[rosacotton]

Wonderful!
