Viegnsay Valdés in Black Swan

[aleribeiro2]

All I can say is: FLAWLESS!

[MICATALINA]

bellisimooooooooooooooo

[loulie1997]

wow he foot stays in the exact same place the entire time! O_O

[Buondelmonte123]

Don't worry about the music love, it'll catch up. I'd rather see this than some poor thing chasing the music like a bus and missing it.

[ballet81895]

attack it, attack it!

[rshakira1]

The most perfect I've seen so far!

[ballerinamama]

AMAZING

[MartirioEterno]

qué perra es, como especula de lo que puede!!! :D

[massie0107]

i just saw her tonight on stars of the 21st century!!,,. and all i can say is WOW!! she was AMAZING!!! they gave her multiple standing ovations hhahaha.. everyone was in awe!!!

[cacocum24]

perra maldita es mas que buena es cubana es perfeccion y belleza

[canuhandldis]

oh my fuck. she's incredible.

[renejesus]

amazing!!!!

[davcubmx]

perra que eres Nadie como tu !!!!

[OliverBradshaw]

Bravo ...............

[OliverBradshaw]

Bravo ........

[dzinnc]

whoever criticizes this... I would like to see you try!

[JennyW410]

this is amazing. how did she not get dizzy after doing this ! 

[FyreBalletDancer]

@JennyW410 she's spotting ...

[MattNPhilly]

She's AMAZING!! She floats around in 2nd before bringing her leg around for the fouette. Too many dancers rush the leg and whip it around. This is a lesson for all to see.

[Astrathiul]

@MattNPhilly Somet types of ballet, like RAD preffer the leg to whip in quickly

[renejesus]

amazing! perfectly!!!!!

[blueberryskirts]

She is clearly an amazing dancer, especially in turns (and I've seen her live in class and on stage)...the reality is, she's not on music...if the conductor had watched her, he could have held the notes/slowed down, but since he wasn't...she needed to speed it up...also, i feel like she didn't have enough energy

[ravegods]

She got off rhythm... this one always disappoints

[nesundorma61]

that why I am soproud of my cuban roots, she is amazing and belongs to the world's finest arts

[biscaynejc]

wow, people are crazy they focus on 32 fuettes, who cares. The reality is that the woman is complete, she is so strong she is able to do 150 fuettes if she desires. It is not about how many but clean and well delivered ones. I really like this woman. I even like her arms, they are in different positions. No imitations. I like that. She appears to have great points and has total control of the stage.

[balletxmusic098]

Her arms arent very nice...

[citruzzlove]

seriously, the best fouettes I have EVER seen!

[bailaconfederico]

es la perfecion esta bailarina,no creo exista una bailarina k logre hacer estos fouettes tan limpios y virtuosos...todo donde va y sin trucos....unica...

[geancarlos1978]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[ilovefouettes]

it looks like she cant come down! some people are so lucky. but she didnt complete the 32

[88888Di88888]

of course if you do triple pirouettes in the middle of the fouettes you won't finish the 32, IT'S ABOUT QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY, i love cuban fouettes, they're so energetic!!! and Viengsay is the Fouette Goddess and althought i don't like her odile, she has the best pirouettes, fouettes and balances ever!

[norwaytoday]

The last pirouette goes like forever!!! Amazing.

[42dicaprio]

BALLET NACIONAL DE CUBA.the best in the world ,im still cant believe how an small country like CUBA pudo hacer el mejor ballet del MUNDO my admiracion y respet for them

[citruzzlove]

This is the best fouettes I've ever seen! truly amazing.

[monicamello13]

OMG! She is GREAT!!!

[memuysexyfosho]

omg she looks like a doll very very great dancers :D

[TheNouveauNew]

the only time i appreciate a dancer not ending in cue

simply amazing

[kuvanozo]

Realmente estoy imprecionadisimo con esta nueva joya del BNC como ya le dicen por aqui, , desde Charin no habia encontrado una bailarina que me moviera los simentos de tal forma.

BRAVO Vy.

[xxcandish0pxx]

her turns are stunning

[aharper12]

Bravo!!!!

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

I got goosebumps!

[renejesus]

en esta semana compre un DVD del Bolshoi, de los años 40 a los 70 y en lo que vi no hay nadie que se pueda comparar en tecnica ni en interpreta~ción con Viensay ni con otras de BNC, FELICIDADES!!!

[BeautyRushHour]

Amazing, she makes it looks soooooooo easy, almost natural. These are the best fouetteès I've seen so far.

[CMGGOttawa]

She is outstanding, She does the most difficult type of fouettes and, on top of that,, she does not travel at all. Compete with this. I would like to see the partisans that often give us subjective criticisms about her, give us their opinion. She is simply the best in the international arena. My sympathies to the Russians, French and other obsessed Cubans partisans. Viengsay rules, she is the ONE.

[bmartin1755]

these are the best fouttes ever, I am sure, this is amazing and beatiful, the line is perfect , the piruettes amazing, Perfect technique!!, nobody can do it like that, sorry!

Abel

[citruzzlove]

Best fouettes ever. So perfect feet and legs!

[bmartin1755]

were 8!!

[bmartin1755]

Bravo Viengsay!,que sufran los envidiosos! alla ellos! Hay mucho angel en ti,ademas de esa tecnica desbordada y delirante!! Las veo que mucha linea y son unos palos bailando! hay que poner corazon comon tu!

Abel

[anniebella15]

far out. was that like 6 at the end???

amazing.

[LePetitDanseur2010]

love the end

[Roccarocks]

holy...crap

[taurusbs]

AMAZING...........

[jesarg24]

Los mejores fouettes del mundo los tiene esta mujer. Por cierto, si no lo saben, Viengsay acaba de ser invitada a bailar Don Quijote al Mariinsky junto a Leonid Sarafanov. Despues de Alicia Alonso ella es la otra cubana que baila con una compañia rusa. Vamos que es una diva.

[AlxChemist]

LSDFJ:LSDFJ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[JIGGYBEAR07]

Beautiful! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! (Although, no one still has been able to touch Danny Tidwell's turns! He floats!!!)

[brewskyxxx]

I also noticed she doesn't move out of the 12 inch radias. She is just so remarkable!!

[brewskyxxx]

Spectacular!! I just love this!! I keep coming back to see the ending eight piroettes.

[mmppbailarina]

perfecto!

[etoiledelkirov]

magnificaaaaa

[bmartin1755]

por favor!!, que envidia le tienen algunos y algunas, esos fuettes y giros son de otra galaxia, eso es pura tecnica,es una roca la Viengsay, no hay otra igual, termina con 8 o 9 giros, que barbara!!!!!.

Abel

[ChateuLeBlanc]

Ya.... I don't think you can get much better than that... ^^

[makaldahekal]

Dio 8 pirouttes super super magnifica !!!!!!!!!!

[ecj177]

Fantastic!!!!

[ignezz]

8 PIROUETTES! Oh my f*cking god ! baah *.*

[JIGGYBEAR07]

You said a mouthful!!!

[odile77]

supongo que a nadie le queda duda de como se hacen los fouettes, y hasta fácil se mira, que espalda! y que balance! que barbaridad de fouettes me quede en shock

[citruzzlove]

That was the best fouettes I've ever seen

[brewskyxxx]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

[nievecuqui]

gallegoti...jajaj sadaise arencibia???? quien es esa??? ( who is she?) en el cisne blanco dices que viensay es vulgar y aqui mencionas a sadaise arencibia...jaja tu sabes algo de ballet? (do you have any idea about ballet?)

[gallegotii]

Lorena Feijoo, Lorna Feijoo, Alihaydee Carreño, Paloma Herrera, SADAISE ARENCIBIA... those are ACTUAL lovely and great ballerinas... please check them out

[seigrandeale]

beatifullllllllllllllll

[vivalupin]

Maravilloso!

[vivalupin]

Truly wonderful!

[likeOMGitzJOSIE]

OMG!! BEAUTIFUL!! :]

[ohbudda]

i love her fouettes too she brings so much excitement to them. and i love their back hops too! i dont care even if it goes against the original petipa choreography =)!

[barbaraboudot]

just love everything she does would love to see her in New York one day a great ballerina

[microbio73]

She has the best fouettes of the cuban ballet, and is getting better every year. It´s a pitty that she is the only great ballerina now in Cuban National Ballet, when in the 80´s they had 10 like her.

[quaaxel]

She is perfect. she stayed on the same spot all the time

[balletfreak2]

I saw her when the CNB visited Gainesville, and she danced the Black Swan pas de deux. It was truly spectacular. She received a very, very long ovation. Totally deserved!!!!!!

[suzannefarrell]

She starts off with so many!

[sander075]

I can not understand why some people are negative about her turns.. She's devine!

[Esvealde]

Es espectacular esta bailarina! me gusta mucho

[sektmusche]

this is the best black swan variation I've ever seen!

[lalalaeo]

god :O

that's amazing

[barcelonabailarina]

Yes, she's really great! I love this part with the fouettés so much.

[gallegotii]

Let's hope she will get to be a ballerina some day. Dancing is much more than turns and jumps... What's with those arms!, those shoulders are a disgrace, and she has the coldest face and a total disrespect for the tempo. This girl gotta learn that sometimes a couple of extra pirouettes can ruin it all.

[citruzzlove]

She is a ballerina. And can you do that better? I don t think so. So SHUT THE FUCK UP!

She is a real dancer, and that is the best fouettes i've ever seen.

[actor001]

5 stars for the queen of the balance

[Stellicious]

ach du heilige scheiße!!! the last ones are GREAT!!! sloooooow down

[Ninjerina]

Holy &@#t! The fouettes are so well executed it looks as though the video is being looped. And the pirouettes at the end? Fantastic!

[swanodette89]

fantastic!!

[ardianworld]

One of the best I've seen!

[audrey8]

omg!!! this is beyond ridiculous. ahhhh

[MMArancia]

Holy crap. She just kind of spins around at the end, that's ridiculous! It looks great. :0

[renejesus]

you're ridiculous!!! try to do that!

[MMArancia]

I meant ridiculous in an amazing sort of way, silly. :) I can't even do fouettes properly, much less that!

[toothbrush55]

I wish I had that balance! Who is this dancer?

[sincensura111066]

She is Viengsay Valdés, one of the must prominent dancers of the Alicia Alonso's Cuban National Ballet. She's great, isn't she?

[bauta69]

patitos feos por ahi hay muchas grullas patas de palos a montones pero solo un cisne negro.......viengsay valdes.bravooo

[quintajoya]

Sylvie Gillem es una gran bailarina, con una linea elegante y piernas largas, ademas de ser bella, pero tecnicamente no se le puede comparar con Viengsay, yo las he visto bailar a las dos y te digo que la seguridad y la tecnica de Vi es superior, y a mi me encanta Sylvie.

[quintajoya]

Tuve el gusto de ver a Viengsay en Lago en La Habana, a teatro repleto, estaba lesionada, asi y todo nunca podre olvidar el virtuosismo y lirismo de esta bailarina. Su port de bras, sus brazos... fue algo sublime. Pocas bailarinas alcanzan su taya, she is a total diva.

[cutiealexa]

omg i mean more expression wud be nice but otherwise rly goood:)!!!anyone knw where to find rly good ballet vids on youtube

[miauna007]

OH MY GOD! that' all i can say... :|:|:|

[ambeckman]

Tiene mucho control pero es más atlética que estética. No tiene extensión y es muy bajita, con piernas muy cortas.

[tircalina]

jajajajaj. ¿¿¿mas atletica que estetica????? Has visto su interpretacion en la metamorfosis del El Lago de los Cisnes????? Viengsay es una gran interprete con gran capacidad de trasmitir el presonaje a traves de los gestos y la mimica compleja. Su cuerpo es fuerte aquilibrado y muy bien proporcionado. Ella jamas abusa de sus cualidades fisicas ni es excesiva demostrando fuerza. En fin la mejor bailarina del mundo.

[tircalina]

ambeckman tu prefieres bailarina tipo Marina Rzhannikova que son perfectas, se mueven bien, dominan una gran tecnica pero no transmiten ningun sentimiento, no interpretan y baile lo que baile lo hace siempre igual, mueven la cabeza igual. Interpreta Odile y no nos picaras, malvadas ni seductoras. Viengsay si interpreta, ademas de tener tecnica y fuerza. Es la mas equilibrada del mundo.

[ambeckman]

En realidad no, como no me conoce no conoce mis gustos. Le doy alguna pista. Me gusta Sylvie Guillem que es súper expresiva y lírica y bueno, la extensión que tiene es impactante. Nina Ananiashvili y Gillian Murphy también se me hacen fabulosas. Siempre es más difícil para las altas necesitan trabajar el doble, pero el resultado es mucho más grato y estético.

[actor001]

respeto tu gusto por las bailarinas de piernas largas y delgadisimas pero Viengsay es una gran interprete no puedes juzgar en un video de 39 segundos ve el cisen blanco la metamorfosis don quixote la variacion de giselle su cisne negro es 100 por cieto seduccion y maldad

Viengsay lo tiene todo tecnica porte interpretacion y claro que es lirica y domina el estilo cubano romantico

[albinoluciani1]

es genial,bravisimo viensay.viva cuba y su ballet.saludos desde miami

[dancedruggie]

omg this is freaking amazing!!!!!!

[tircalina]

Una gran bailarina Cubana

[balletforte]

she has strings holding her up!! they did a great job at hiding them

[hannahanders1]

If she had strings holding her up they would get twisted while she was turning.

[hannahanders1]

If she had strings holding her up they would get twisted while she was turning.

[jsmith71292]

I just wish her face didn't look so "dead".

[Dancer4Lyfex]

Amaingly neat! Breathtaking really!

[balletvideo]

I just love cuban dancers! They really go for it! More of it at "balletvideo"

[stevalle]

omg... unbelivable.. so good! but not quite perfect though, it seem arms are tense...

[jsmith71292]

Effortless...

[dance29ex]

HOLY SHIT

[gohdancer]

holy crap....that's amazing

[dancngraindrop02]

This would be very perfect if she would just pointe her right foot in her fouette turns and extend her arms when turning she looks tense. Otherwise these were great turns.

[majere090]

Her arms are so long that she has to shorten them as she turns, which then makes them look tense. And, in case you did not realize, she has flat feet! But that has not stopped her from being Principle dancer of Ballet Nacional de Cuba. And she was barely out of the corps de ballet and just begining here.If you chance to see her now (which is hard) she is much better than in this video here.

[Mapamir]

I agree! perfect!

[tygerlilly329]

when was this video taken? how old is she?

[PinayAndProud]

the thing on her forehead looks like a third eye. o_O;;;

[dansing416]

She is extraordinary... I would love to see her with more emotion. Her body makes it look easy, but her face doesn't.

[majere090]

If you would happen to see the whole pas de duex, I am very sure that you would think differently.

[Morrison21st]

i wonder how long her legs are.... in cm...

[locash20]

I love her. Cuban ballet dancers are incredible passional.

[bobthemelbournian]

Oh my Lord. She's amazing.

[mungojerrie16]

Oh how lovely! I love ballerinas, they're so beautiful yet so strong.. amazing

[expressboi79]

i have to say that her legs and her feet are EXACTLY how fouettes should be done... Bravo

[ballaurena]

Wow. I've never seen anybody really show using the working leg completely to the front in plie and all the way to a la seconde before the turn that clearly. I have to admit, though, the arms are a little awkward, but it's pretty much impossible to make the arms look natural during fouettes.

[NeoQueenSerenity21]

I wish I could do that :)

[jamsmen]

How earth was she able to slow down at the end! Amazing! I managed to teach my self how to do prouettes last summer and I took me ages to get the hang of it!

[pinkballet]

Her fouettes were amazing, but her performance was very boring to watch.

[ElektrikStarfish]

Oh my. Well, her last pirouette lasted forever. I only WISH I could turn like that. :D

[Chinamerican]

AMAZING - she barely travels!

[swtxtc03]

That's crazy how she slowed down at the end. She's amazing. Alicia Alonso was teaching us how to work on that.

[aktinotos]

One may in fact watch Alicia Alonso performing exactly this dance in two portions of "CUBA - Alicia Alonso - Ballet - Film Cubano" ... which nonetheless is not the same as the one in "black swan alicia alonso".

[dancinbirdie]

holy crap shes really good

[zielonkers]

She's with the Ballet Nacional de Cuba.

[camaieu]

o my goodness! she's perfect. anyone knows who's she?

[Leabadu]

she is Viensay Valdes of Cuba.
