Petit allegro

[huixue]

For comparison in "light" and "flying" allegro, see the video of someone who was trained to get heels down yet is truly flying: search for

""Explosive" Natalia Osipova - Le Corsaire variation and coda" on youtube.

But it is all a matter of taste. This girl has obviously worked hard and has developed according to the Balanchine style as it is taught.

@MajorBunHead Most of their videos do, and their website says "building on balanchine" So i'm guessing it's balanchine ;P

is she glissadeing at 0:09??

[10DoomCookies]

@CmeUno no, I can't spell it right but she is simply doing a tombe pas de bourre to the front.

[SWAGGAhPUff11]

[tokyopiglet]

She is flying....wow

[ScHaTzYxxy]

[kaysimpsonian888]

[snowboardgloory]

[kaysimpsonian]

[snowboardgloory]

seriously, Shut the fuck up.

[LiveLaughDanse]

stick your plie landing so that both heels touch the ground. great job though.

She's not putting both heels on the ground on purpose, as this is a demonstration of Balanchine technique. Not putting your heels down right away actually gives you a much lighter, better petit allegro.
