Sylvie Guillem

[calmtides]

sylvie is the only one capable of doing this without looking as if she's having a seizure. every dancer that i've seen attempting this ballet (this pas, especially) has always looked rushed, too excited and unclean... this is guillem's ballet --- that's my story and i'm sticking to it!

(p.s. i'm not pro-guillem on every ballet that she's performed... she doesn't have the "soul" for kylian and i've never been enchanted by her giselle or juliet. like every other dancer she too has her repertoire)

0:52 - 0:56 is GORGEOUS.

@ohbudda

you are definetly right about that i see so many versions and they are terrible. and they are always saying that svetlana is so much better and i say not all hail sylvie guillem

[TheElectrathebest]

WHAT'S THE SONG THAT SILVE GUILLEM DANCES???

[PureSoapCleans]

Sylvie est tellement extraordinaire. Fantastique!

[Lauretta88]

in the middle..... i love you!!!!! beautiful!

[kygao98]

Sheesh! She's going to kick herself in the face someday with those grande battements!

[124bjw]

Wow!--Just to look at her physically in this short clip. What an athletic looking ballerina!

[Frenchbabex]

how old was she when she started dancing??

[minoukvl]

@Frenchbabex 12, look at the video 'Sylvie Guillem at 14, in class' it's 2 years after she started.. Amazing..

[kygao89]

i would love to see this in real life

[dancingprobably]

50-56 is Fierce!

[fabiolousful]

IN THE MIDDLE has been a major step in ballet and dance. And consacrated Sylvie (who was the first to dance this) as extravagant, eccentric, glamorous, thrilling artist rather than only a dusty stereotype ballerina

[gey82]

Perfect control Of her Body... She's just having fun...!

[CordsZ]

0:52-0:56 makes my abs hurt just watching it.

[julincha]

0:20

[yuukikanameflipflap]

This is so beautiful, it is very hard to make a dance like this, this good. Wow

[tartinovich9]

elle est extraordinaire parce qu'elle dégage toujours quelque chose d'étrange quand elle danse classique ou contemporain et même si zakharova est plus féline dans ce rôle : guillem reste la meilleure : elle a quelque chose d'alien qui fait toujours la différence avec les autres : trop géniale

[kooorga]

jesus, look at that scenography. thanks god, bill moved on from there....

[datsmydj07]

i would like to see sylvie and desmond richardson dance together.

[icarrus4u]

Wow... Right! Two of the MOST amazing dancers.

[Melipau1991]

[Florensia77]

wao c'est génial j'adooooore !! quel caractère !

[moltoespressione]

She is stunning.

[ohbudda]

Shes the only dancer who can really pull off this piece.

[choustonlv]

@ohbudda eh, Darcey Bussell can get her leg up too!

[SUPERSIZEME99]

@ohbudda no way obviously u haven't seen svetlana zahkarova do it

[fabiesque]

@SUPERSIZEME99 yeah right....as much as Zahkarova can be good in this I am sorry darling....this is a Sylvie's trademark!!! THINK AGAIN

[Jayjen35]

@SUPERSIZEME99 Nope, have certainly seen her do it. And I gotta agree with, ohbudda, and fabiesque! There seems to be much more flow of the movement with Guillem. More of a dance, less of an exercise.

[tutugirl4life]

That was AMAZING!!! She had the perfect combination of sustaining moves, but great speed.. How do you do it Sylvie??

[snowgirl1052]

more more more, please send more!

[66xsanjax66]

She is the

[l0vin9]

I can't even imagine being able to do this piece.

[therealodille]

this is the best version of in the middle, some what elevated in my oppinion...

[sugarplumcherry6]

this must've been done in the 80's...

[DancingSchwabby]

Is that guy in the beginning in the yellow Forsythe himself?

[Ave88]

I believe so.

[danzacynthia]

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR LOS COMENTARIOS!

[deppestmazohyst]

she's a choreographer's dream isn't she?

she executes each move with the passion and fervor it needs.

[aharper12]

i wish it was the whole pas

[RaveXTM]

amazing!!!
