Don`t appologize for the so called low quality of this video. This is clear enough to be able to see how precise her technique was... far more than some of todays stars!
Same year as the Silent Alice in Wonderland film. I love these little films... theyre far more interesting and beautiful than modern cinema and their CGI and fancy camera tricks. :)
sorry if this is a stupid quesiton, but most of the olden day ballet videos i've seen look like they've been sped up abit.. eg red shoes with moira sheara. is this what they did back then?
some have. look for a documentary called "the ballet russes" it contains interviews with all the former ballet russes dancers, and many snippets of their performances. also, there was a video cassette recording of "gaite parisienne" starring freddy franklin
this might be to oldest video i've seen and will ever see in my life! so cool!

oh man. the way this is recorded gives the ballet itself such a more 'out of this world' effect...as if she's actually floating. this is incredible.

no - this video is in real time. Throughout the 20th century dancers have gotten longer and music has gotten MUCH slower.

WOW! Amazing!
Can you imagine if even a snippet of a performance by Diaghilev's Ballet Russe had been filmed?

Also incredible. But I am speaking of the first Ballet Russe with Nijinsky, Karsavina, and Pavlova.
