nowdays ballet is all about piruettes and extensions, and feets. some ppl think u are not good enought if u dont make 5 or 8 piruettes, maybe i am old fashion but i like to think ballet is about dance and make the audience believe u are the caracter u are actually playing and this girl here is not completely perftect about her tecnique when u talk about piruettes, but she makes u feel her role and how she enjoys dancing... really well done!!
@Brusamer Umbelievably True! Couldnt agree more! =) Better to have a great interpretation, that to have a machine do some acrobatics! =) I even put a thumbs up for your comment! =) Gotta love old fashion people! =)
@Brusamer So true! The Washington Post recently did an article -- they commented on how ballet dancers these days are so focused on having the Balanchine skinny, wiry bodies, and are not as good actors as ballerinas used to be. Too much focus on technique, but not enough on expression and character!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that was... rather crap. especially that ungraceful male dancer. let's face it: zelensky is a zillion times better. und i don't even believe that this is kirov... have the standards dropped, or something?
That just proves how ignorant you are when it comes to ballet! You are probably dancing for 3 years and already thinks you know something!!! This is one of the most famous versions of Le corsaire!
PERFEITOOOOO!

YEA YOU ARE RIGHT. I also almost find nothing in today ballerinas... maybe just Natalia Osipova.. but for the rest... It's really depressing ....
