@silkenswan phrased the question made me feel like I was being slightly interrogated, and at the moment the only reason I can think of you wanting to know where I dance is so that you can once again tell me about your (admittedly very prestigious) family history. Can we leave this whole thing now? I'm sure in real life we're both pleasant people! At the moment I am at a bit of a crossroads as I am in the process of switching ballet schools so that I can further my education en pointe.
@silkenswan I am and always have been (well, for 7 months) 13. And you think I'm trying to gain sympathy... Right. From whom, may I ask?! The only reason I am replying to your comments is that I feel the need to defend myself, I do not want you thinking your accusations are true. I do not like the fact that you say this dance should not be so challenging for me, how do you know how I feel when I dance it? And you say you were taking an interest in where I dance; the way you [cont]
@silkenswan Ok, so... I did not "question you if you knew how hard this element is", it just seemed like you were passing off the dancer's hard work as not good enough. Also, I did not try and turn this argument against you; if I could i would reverse all this and we would not be in this situation. I am interested to know what items on my profile changed - I can only assume that you visited my channel and assumed that because I had updated my Music choices last time I was on there. [cont]
@silkenswan Please can you calm down and stop being so condescending. I do not have "severe co-ordination problems" just because I state a dance is hard, and I am always stretching myself to become as good a dancer as i possibly can. I am a 13 year old girl, I hardly think that i know for sure whether or not I am physically strong enough yet. I have been dancing since I was 2, and I'm just doing what I love. I don't care what you think of me so please stop with the comments.
@silkenswan Jesus christ, d'you know how hard that dance is?! I feel like a good sit-down after doing half of it!! They make it look so effortless and graceful.
it was akward for me ... they were so stiff and staccado ... it was a bit soldier-like in stead of SWAN-like ... just my opinion tho, this part is soooo hard to do
@FyreBalletDancer i agree with you, and you're right it is hard to do..... but it is impossible to dance this without it looking soldierlike.... because precision is so necessary here.
Intersting way of doing pas de chats, i actually really like after wathcing is a few times. Ive never done this variation quite like this, the last eight cu de pie are usually in retiere for me. brava! great energy too, it looked effortless
Yes, all of these dancers are considered on the medium/tall side by most people, and in most companies, would be dancing the big swans, which I'm sure would come far more natural to them. However, their teacher, Magaly Suarez, entrusted this responsibility to them (this was a HUGE production of Swan Lake in Miami, BTW) and they worked every day to achieve what they did. It should be appreciated.
I created sheets (piano) for this part of "swan lake", which are easier to play than the original arrangement. Check my homepage if interested (link in my profile).
There are other countries in this world besides those three.
Besides, dancing doesn't have anything to do with background or ethnicity. It has to do with training and choreography. Both of those things can, and are, done well, all over the world. Because you have never seen a beautiful American ballet performance doesn't mean they don't exist. The American School of Ballet and the NYC Ballet produce and have amazing dancers.
Are u two stupid os something??? I am not talking about fat for god!!! I mean big as them four ( sorry but i know then all personally) are very TALL!!!! Oh my god you american are crazy...
no, i dont have problemns with americans. By the way, i envy you, All americans are tall and live in a country full of oportunities... dont get me wrong, but i am nacionalist, hahah, i am proud to have my brazillian happy and warm blood... As this four cignets, for the LAST TIME i talk about how tall they are, and i an fan of this girls as I WAS TAKING CLASSES WITH THEY 4 arIN MIAMI
@petitdancer22 i didnt think you were calling them fat i was just asking about you whole "americans" comment.... and yes we do have lotss of opportunities....and we arent all tall lol..what ever made you think that lol im 5'5
i LOVE 4 swans!!! such a fun variation... its kinda painfull but thats ok. i actual know jordan elizabeth long! she used 2 dance at my school where i take now! :)
this is soooo good im tryingto do this atm but im giting beter but still hit nees with the other girls:L:L the only bit i dont like is at 1 18 i think its like the most ungrasfull looking thing in the routine.....still love this tho
I have to play this soon for a dance reherasal where i am MD and have heard so many variations in tempo it's untrue! As an MD I would of course go with a spped the choreographer and cancers could handle and will want - but I am interested as you seem pretty clued up on this dance - what's your opinion of this version. It is the slowest of the many i have heard I I find it hard to imagine how dances could instil the grace and delicacy of this dance at much greater speeds? Thanks
this might be one of the slower tempos, but it isn't exceptionally slow. i think this tempo delivers both musicaly and dance quality wise. absolutely no need to pick it up if the dancers are not p to it. it is reat, though, to have a musical director wh o does thorough research! i am sure this dedication reflects on the quality of your work! good luck and enjoy the recital, let me know how it went :)
