Sleeping Beauty, Rose adagio: Alina Cojocaru

[Tardis365]

Why does the guy a 3:08 look like Santa with a short cape

[pandabear987123]

I like her tutu :)

[omfgAardvarks]

Her tutu looks like a Grapefruit. XD

[avesraggiana]

Good on Alina!  Teaching the Russian audience and their allerinas just how to do those balances en attitude - with BOTH arms in fifth high after each release! It looks more daring and adds spice.

BUT. That tutu's gotta go. Poor Cojocaru. Talk about being saddled with a muffin top tutu.

[jzrock10]

her tutu is somewhat dead....but she was amazing as always!

[BeckNur]

el tutu es enorme =O !

[iLoveMyKitties97]

This was absoluetly gorgeous! I liked the costume, and she didn't seem awkward to me! I loved it!

[JLepsch]

I love huge tutus, but this one falls over the hips like an argentinian empanada.

[PheiiPheii]

i so agree with @tominsugarland that the lighting is horrible!!! But alina's balances were good! and she's so flexible!

[tominsugarland]

awful lighting, but alina is amazing as always even nervous

[icarrus4u]

She seems really uncomfortable in this one, I prefer her in the Royal Ballet's production. Some awkward moments here...

[parzifal40]

Ms. Cojocaru is simply breathtaking. Her balance and spins make this a truly remarkable and enjoyable performance. I love the music and the staging of this performance. Would love to see the Kirov perform this live......enjoyable and beautiful.

[yonjooheero]

the tutu itself is pretty. On Alina though, it just doesn't seem to flatter her figure. :/ that's my personal opinion though. It just looks...yeck.

Gaaah, I love Alina though. She looked a bit nervous in the beginning but towards the end, I loved her acting, smile, and her balance. She's so fierce. <3

[SuperBalletgirl101]

Why does everyone seem to hate the huge Russian tutus? I personally love them. Alina is amazing. I think that this with Giselle is her best ballet

[BalletGirl09]

alina is the best aroura i love her :)

[Wotan123456789]

Kavaiivansko, do you have the 2 act variation and the PDD?? Please! Thanks so much for this great video!

[TheRealKookie00]

Gr8 picture quality! ;)

[tutugirl4life]

Holy lord the tutu is ginormous on her!!

[fredrika27]

@tutugirl4life

It's absolutely dreadful and distracting!

[dizzyballerina3]

i love alina! she is my favourite!

[FerSbMT]

hate costume

[noravilla]

I agree with the comments about her enjoying better with RB, could be the rehearsal was less and she wasn't so confident, but still she pulled it out!!

Love her!!

[rudik1988]

Do you have the full recording of the reconstruction with Alina?

[likeafirstday]

she ıs gorgeous...

[theballetbag]

Do you have the full recording of the reconstruction with Alina? This is such a marvellous and rare video that I am sure there are plenty of people who would like to see it complete. However, thanks for sharing!

[ballerina1616]

she is beautiful here but I prefer her dancing with the royal ballet much better

[lolomck]

I agree - a beautiful performance but you can see she enjoys her performance with the Royal Ballet much more!

[G216A911]

Flawless !

[ichebat]

That was rough and sans music. Not what I expected from worlds better known dancers.

[Parcq]

It is you who are "sans music," who can't recognize in those who have it.

[syd453lm]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so amazing!

[amyteo58]

soooo lovely! Thanks a lot 4 sharing!

[yakinodi]

Beautiful Rose Adagio. Alina is truly Aurora in body and soul.

[hnbballerina]

Thank you, one of the most giving dancers of this century!

[BalletVoldy]

Thank you so much for this! :)

[xKarenina]

To me, this woman is the Sleeping Beauty. There are so many others but they simply cannot be compared to her. Oh, Alina! Gorgeous!

[9415908]

i think evgenia obrazstova is so much better

[Parcq]

And Evegenia also needs the music to have slowed down for her. Cf. the Alla Sizova version. Alina could keep apace.

[BalletFlower]

She's lovely, thanks for sharing! :)
