[eeedobbs]

so graceful!!! beautiful!

[x0kFjx]

やっぱりコジョカル凄いな(*^^*)

[janiakowska]

incredible artist...great prima ballerina

[TheLouisnavarrete]

very nice technique.

[xsexyminxyx]

The beauty of ballet is how effortless a true ballerina glides through each step and movement, when the truth is years and years of dedication and extreme hard work went into creating such a graceful illusion.

[GillianMoynihan]

So many people underestimate how extremely difficult this piece would be to dance... Amazing job.

[JJo27rainier]

She does it all- she acts, she balances, her port de bras is unbelievable, it goes on and on!!!

[JirehDeJose]

How much more of a prima ballerina can you get with a pink tutu dancing in Sleeping Beauty?! So beautifully breathtaking.

[SqrtleVertis]

girl, well, woman is DANM amazing but there is something jarring in moments of the varation, where it loses its girlish charm, but even so WOW.

[SteelioC]

I would so rather watch Cojocaru over Somova any day.

[kimmois1]

@SteelioC Somova is bloody awful. I'd rather watch Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre perform Aurora than Somova.

[Tardis365]

It's very hard to step out of chaines like that but she made it look effortless

[PrincessFirefighter]

Those arabesques are ROCK SOLID. You could push her and do nothing, it looks like.

[LoveislikeLemons]

she's great!

[3happyguy]

her back is so straight in her arabesques...

[esmeralda1211]

I. LOVE. THIS. VARIATION. :D <3

[JenyaZ14]

[StarGirl182000]

She makes it look so effortless!

[TheQueenOfTheDryads]

Alina is my favorite Aurora. She exudes grace and beauty in every way imaginable.

[oneill9875]

@TheQueenOfTheDryads She is great,but my fav is Viviana Durante in this act especially when she acknowledge's the trumpets near the end,cool!

NO ONE's better than Alina... no one. End of story.

[CarolineLovesHugs18]

her control is amazing!

[grobangirlie]

Just seen this at the ROH last week. They've got new costumes, mostly terrible. Such a shame as this version is wonderful.

[photographedemode]

One of the best Dancers the Royal Ballet has ever seen, suprised to see how they treated her during a rehearsal, like she was a lowly lowly corps member...

[theamazingsoter]

@photographedemode What do you mean? What happened?

[chamuda610]

Fantastic Aurora. I love her so much!

[alexandrarando95]

amazing soo effortless :)

[ciberjolly]

This is just amazing...i love her performance....i can see joy, love, inocence...all of what Aurora has in her dancing :)

[Xgamer437]

Her movements seem choppy to me, but her balance and pointe is beautiful!

[alessiakaylee]

Amazing beauty and grace..

[loulie1997]

oh i love her!! she and evgenia obraztsova have got the kindest and most adorable spirits in their dancing!

[builder2000]

She's the most graceful ballerina I've seen.

[cabinthewoods90]

[valeriajonesplease]

[PaulaRosaSantana1]

Que arabesque mais lindo.Ela é perfeita!

[BalletTapJazz]

I've never liked this variation, but she does it quite well.

[cabinthewoods90]

@BalletTapJazz quite well? she's stunning!

[jinpitakki33]

the whole time i was watching this, i was just sitting here with my mouth wide open. she's BEAUTIFULLLLL. yes, her pirouettes weren't perfect, but what really made it special was her aura. she has a certainly light to her when she dances. very much like a princess ^^

[balletlover32]

I wish I could dance like her..... She is soo good

[ravegods]

What beautiful little bourees! I see a princess!

[Shadia124goodnight]

[TheCrazyl97]

[ELENARITH]

Wow... 

[larasfrend]

Unbelievable... a truly remarkable performance. What a joy it is to watch Cojocaru!

[lbcasscells]

3 people wont face their jealousy of her so they let it out by pressing the dislike button, they should be ashamed

[lenusfidanidis]

meno male che si puo parlare della Romania dei rumeni , anche in altri modi!

[LaurenStar111]

How old was she when she was promoted to principal dancer? she was a soloist when she was only 18!!! :O

[etoiledelkirov]

perfect

[nywxt0536]

She is incredible! Everything she does....

[bananahead82]

0:44 O. My. GOD!!

[nztpo]

@bananahead82 i'm no ballet dancer but is that hard to do ? or are you more so admiring the beauty of how she does it? please educate me.. :-)

[JaneElisa2712]

@nztpo this is really hard to do, and the way she does it is even more impressive, because of her unbelievable control, technique and expression. it's art :)

[Jun9293]

she's amazing

[xizziecx]

alina is the best ballerina and she is my idol and i really look up to her! i would love to meet her and just talk to her about dance and being a princable! inspired! <3

[xizziecx]

[catherinevaiphz]

it looks like her bone's gnna break!!!bt c's good!!!

[balletisbomb]

@88888Di88888 hahah omg i was completely being sarcastic. haha she's perfect.

[88888Di88888]

@balletisbomb sorry :P

[mermaidlady2]

alina cojocaru is so versatile and charismatic!

[primaballerina236]

soo perfect!! amazingg!

[balletisbomb]

jkjkjkjkjk lololol

[balletisbomb]

she's soo clumsy

[88888Di88888]

@balletisbomb CLUMSY??? Who the hell are you to say that?? Sylvie Guillem??????

Viengsay Valdes is clumsy, yes she is, take a look at her here in Youtube, and you'll see what clumsy means... but Alina Cojocaru IS NOT CLUMSY, AT ALL, IN FACT SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST ELEGANT BALLERINAS OUT THERE, SHE'S SO SOFT AND CONTROLED! So, if you're not Sylvie Guillem, don't criticize Alina...

[cabinthewoods90]

@balletisbomb hahaha loser

[mallorygirl123]

@peanut3ossie2 the magic starts as soon as she comes on stage :D

[carla67]

As costas dela e algo impressionante. Parece que e de aco.

[louisevcl]

Lindo o Balé da Bela Adormecida!!!

[peanut3ossie2]

the magic starts at 3:15!!!!!

[EoE4evr]

[DancersforJesus]

Out of all the people I have seen do this variation, she is by far the most graceful. She is so small too! Such beauty! (:

[balletuniverse]

i haven't seen this variation done better she is AMAZING!!!!!

[tasumarin]

空間に、ローズの香りが漂ってる!!

トゥの細やかさから、オーロラの若わかしさが伝わってきます。

お姫様というよりは、小鳥のようです。

一つ一つのポーズがきれいです♥

[imsachakennedy]

she is so beautiful

[nekonekokonekoful]

なんてすごいキープ力と新鮮さ。気取らないおおらかなエレガント­さ。素晴らしい～！！！

[lilywis]

how tall is she?

[emmsteemmastewart]

@lilywis 5'1 or 5'2 i think, she's so small in person!

[prossimamente]

she use to dance with strange pointe shoes.. they seem to be large and worn out

[emmsteemmastewart]

@prossimamente they're gaynor mindens...she has had major feet problems though i think

[tinutza33]

She is AMAZING!!!!

[IOwnTheSpotlight]

im dancing this variation for my recital! but it wont be nearly as amazing as hers haha. LOVE her triples, she messed up a bit on the last one but disguised it with her lovely smile :)) really professional!

[lolomck]

best balances in the biz!

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

@lolomck true soetimes, but have you seen tamara rojo's rose adagio? amaaazing balance at the end.

[Cazarellagaia]

Lovely but her tiara is really annoying me because it is crooked :P Oh well I love it she is beautiful! <3

[kraballet24]

@Cazarellagaia ....godd the last thing i would notice after that performance is if her tiara is crooked!! i agree on the beautiful part though.

[Cazarellagaia]

@kraballet24 I notice that sorta stuff hehe...

[tutus4life]
