[HighROCOCOlings]

Can you make much rounder actions with keeping on your cheeks or touching fingers on your body or actions like touching finger for longer remaining lineswith using much round or moing erbo as etirnity farly airy on light or delux on his love powers with much emortion actions on keeping longer air space times with much lovely duets as good ansumble on music

as best player,too. Lady costume is perfect on traditional pure well material on art better with whiter stage lights & back .

Poot branch thing broke

[DreamsontheWater]

@111Jabberwocky The branch is supposed to break - I think it is a symbol of her power (hence how she raises it when Giselle turns into a Wili) and when it breaks it shows that her power over them, the power of death over them, is nothing, in the face of her love for him.

[111Jabberwocky]

@DreamsontheWater Ohhhh thanks for the help...here I thought is was just a technical difficulty...thanks

[DreamsontheWater]

@111Jabberwocky You're welcome! I think that little background pieces of information add a lot of meaning to the story when you are watching a ballet!

[krazy77grl]

She is amazing!!!

[kurichka]

During the adaggio the cello was so loud I could hardly hear the main melody. Didn't like that, it wipes out the delicate atmosphere there should be, because its tempo is faster. Am I the only one who was bothered by the loud cello in the adaggio??? (I mean the orchestra parts, no the parts where the cello is supposed to be heard as a solo).

[sauronsdaugther]

The tempo is way too slow I believe.

[krazy77grl]

She is absolutely stunning.

[georgeou]

Really nice dancing from both dancers. Not sure why the guy was mouthing so many words during his variation.

[DancinFeet1994]

@georgeou well, stupid, its called breathing hard because he's at the end of his variaion. Maybe you should give it a try.

[georgeou]

@DancinFeet1994 No, that wasn't breathing hard. Just looked like one of those bad habits. Not sure why you're taking such offense and then making a personal attack out of it when I clearly stated that it was wonderful dancing from both dancers. That doesn't prohibit me from noticing something odd and then pointing it out in a non-offensive way.

[DancinFeet1994]

@georgeou Just be careful some people can take this A LOT worse than i did. I do agree i took it too far (sorry, was having a bad day :p). it is a bad habit, but I guess he can do whatever the heck he wants since hes a principal with the mariinsky theater.

[georgeou]

@DancinFeet1994 So let me get this right. You called me "stupid" and then you admit that my observation of a bad habit was indeed correct. Then you tell me that I need to "be careful" of people who might behave even worse than you. Got it.

[stacylive2dance]

I AGREE i could just watch her all day long lovely and such strength and grace but oh so beautiful ..one of my favs and svetlana /too lol

[tutus4life]

ironic that the Mariinsky asked her to guest when they wouldn't accept her into the school. I bet they're kicking themselves now! ha ha Kirov you're loss!

[honeybuttertoastable]

Isn't this La Sylphide?

[jgh37]

The orchestra had to ruin everything.

[isthatmarcee]

Vladimir Shklyarov is. like. perfect. I'd marry him :) <3

[missiheartballet]

BRILLIANT!

This is the first person I have seen do this pas de deux who I can say has matched miss Cojocaru's. I have never really watched Polina, so this is an amazing first impression.

[almostelphaba]

She is perfection personified. So beautiful.

[balletnut]

This has such delicacy and she has a certain amount of wistfulnest too. It's wonderfully beautiful. I could go on watching for ever.

[sinnung]

It's so beautiful~ Thx for sharing!
