[TheAscendingOne]

he is one of the most amazing dancers ive ever seen!

[shaviolin]

oh, davit, you're sooo amazing!

[Pattinson17cullen]

wooww por fin encontre a alguiien qe gire a la izquierda ese bailarin es para miiii!!! :)

[tytywatkins]

I want to dance with him.

[dancethrulife94]

yo i think the fact that her shoes were just worn.... in a way that allowed her complete manipulation as she rolled through with articulation and confidence her suspension was with a freaking lift that made us all take a breath!!!!!!

[thaisribas2009]

that's the most diferent version of sugar plum fairy variation i've ever seen!

[solidlove015]

I really wish I could move on to pointe and wear a tutu someday. lol. But I'm taking beginner's ballet right now and my legs aren't even flexible or balanced.

[Annuhz]

@solidlove015 You'll get there! just work super hard =)

[solidlove015]

@Annuhz well, I did make some progress. I've been doing a lot of releves and I'm not almost able to stand on 3/4 on the balls of my feet. As for pointe shoes, I do have them but I haven't touched them yet. They're a pain in the ass to wear. XD

[Marigold0156]

I thought the sugar plum fairy was supposed to dance the variation and the coda with the prince, not that transformed ballerina?

[shaviolin]

i love maria's pique turn

[Marigold0156]

I like the male dancer more than the female because he has the movements that match with the music and the way he moves are with much more agility and ease than the female dancer does.

[juliebierut]

i was there in the audience!!

[sauronsdaugther]

He has the balance, the technique and the expression for his part. Amazing really.

She looks like she's not made the steps of her own. Looks kinda uncomfortable or out of place while dancing (my feeling). Please give her the standard Ivanov steps... Must be great with those, but not with these ones.

Glad to know from comments she has improved on this. Hope she feels better with the steps now :-)

[BreakerHeart10]

@beatlesandbroadway21 the only reason her feet look like that is because she is wearing ballet shoes not pointe shoes

[bolshoiboy8]

@BreakerHeart10 no way she could dance a nutcracker in soft shoes. you aren't a ballet dancer, i assume.

[gerriboberri]

Maria is beautiful, but I can't say that her version of Sugarplum is my favorite. The guy is amazing, though.

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

I saw this tonight and I didn't think this was possible but Maria has improved sooooooo much (not that this was bad it was actually amazing)

[tnma17]

Dumb question... what is the name of the kind of jackknifing kick Davit does at 3:58?

[ezaaaaayboi]

hes so....SPRINGY =D

[Snowpum18]

o.o he's freakin amazing but gosh that nose...

[DillyBabyEtsy]

Wow, he is amazing!

[marlyharris]

Gorgeous dancing by both dancers but her hideous costume detracted from her performance. He is spectacular! What a technique and stage presence. Help, I'm hyperventilating.

[likeafirstday]

wooww ...wooww.wwoowwww ...

[AlexanderMDgreat89]

Dude...... Holy clean male variation!! Bravo!

[tdanceballet21]

The man was amazing and so was the girl but her feet looked terrible in those shoes

[Deeda1021]

i don't like her arms....they don't help her. But hey, if it was 2007, she's probably improved on that.

[lacouerfairy]

Is he still engaged to Vanessa Z? I know he proposed to her onstage after a performance of R&J.

[mydancetv]

okay that guy is gooooooooooood!

[Catulli00]

That's all the applause they get? Ugh! BRAVO. They're both amazing!

[Nebulafantasy]

Wow, that man is an amazing dancer...

[Dancer83100]

His jumps are amazing!

[saneedblozio]

maria is very charmin

[pointeshoeballet]

Omg who is he!!? He's freaking gorgeous!

[SilverInsanity]

@pointeshoeballet Davit Karapetyan. :)

[grimreepeer1]

@pointeshoeballet hes davit one of the best male ballet dancers ever!

[imfunsizedified]

@pointeshoeballet his name is davit karapetyan! he is so AMAZING!

[LUKESLUKES07]

That was like BUTTA!

[cutebutterfly09]

wow look at how flexible his legs are! lol!

[Phyre702]

Wow....he's freakin amazing!

[TheABTballet]

hes my favorite dancer

[bolshoiboy8]

mine too! lol

[jaybrose]

i LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEE him!

[2TIKO]

B.R.A.V.O YOU'RE THE BEST

[ecj177]

Wow.  He is a beautiful dancer! They both are.

[bolshoiboy8]

he is more amazing in my opinion.... although they both are... i think she needs a change of shoes... her feet were gorgeous at luxembourg.

[mzmissa]

I completely agree about the change of shoes. I couldn't help but notice her missing arches with the ones she has on. Perhaps they weren't broken in enough?

[BreakerHeart10]

@bolshoiboy8 The only reason her feet look like that is because she is wearing standered ballet shoes not pointe shoes
