[ashia4life313]

She's Beautiful !

[pointemeout]

sorry alina. i do love you....but this...is the epitome of mediocre. please love. pretty please.

[Anaa1234ana]

SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITAAAAAAAAAAAA!  *-*

[iNowii]

Feet ^* whoops

[iNowii]

Wow !! This is called forgetting about the steps and dancing from the heart. So beautiful and not fake. Every movement from her feel all the way to her fingertips are just true and beautiful. What an inspiration !!

[cabinthewoods90]

7 losers think they can do better than Alina Cojocaru!

[sarqastiqa]

Esa dulzura que demuestra al bailaaar! porfavor

[111Jabberwocky]

This is soo rushed! if you want effortless, watch Aurelie Dupont do this:)

[cca1954]

Alina always dance with awful and dirty sapatilhas!

[larasfrend]

I love her interpretation and cannot get tired of watching this over and over again, however, I wish that they had filmed her diagonal of ballonnés going upstage from a more flattering angle as it makes her appeared somewhat turned in, even though she MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT. I think filming it from the front would have done more justice to her performance.

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

@larasfrend would you please show me where there are any ballonnés? I do know what they are, but can't seem to find any in this particular perfomance. Also, I cannot see any upstage angles of the camera in this version. Please show me? (:

[88888Di88888]

I never get tired of watching this, she's just... perfect, she's THE best! :)

[balletnut]

Really beautiful.

[foropera]

She has something tormented in her face a little bit like Antoinette Sibley.. Very distinguished and feminine way of dancing.

[Briavel1]

5 people are jealous.

[Zolyushka95]

Alina is wonderful, but I can't help but be reminded of Odette when I see her dance this. It's her expression and the costume, I think, especially the headress

[EVizCol]

Gorgeous arms!!!!

[federicoxxl]

Very good, but I prefer Marianela Nuñez.

[qdancer13]

5 people missed the like button...... :)

[estrellita4441]

bello!!! baila hermosooooo

[danceforlife113]

this variation is so nice! i love the music!

what feelings should we have when dancing this variation? should it be sad??

[Royalbrettania]

@danceforlife113 I think so... a little melancholy even this is a vision of Aroura who has been sleeping for a 100 years... so its a memory of her it needs to make the prince emotionally motivated to go and rescue her

[FerSbMT]

how can it could be soo PERFECT???

[p40531]

She's the most gorgeous Aurora I've ever seen since I watched Alla Sizova's Aurora.

Her charm, grace, elegance and clean footwork makes her a totally amazing ballerina to watch besides her amazing artistry.

She make an impecable performance in every single way: artistry and technique.

Lve her <3

[dancerchic811]

she might be the most exquisite dancer on the stage today. she is unbelievable!!

[opeoeoeoeo]

so beautiful,emotional.the arms are just amezing....

[kim93MYBrox]

she is just so beautiful

[Lissbirds]

Not only does she dance amazingly well, but she puts so much emotion in her performance. She's regal without being cold, mournful but still elegant. Brava, Alina!!

[syd453lm]

i luv this music!

[syd453lm]

i think the balance at :27 is amazing! i also love the look/emotion on her face at 1:58-1:59

[321Kirby321]

I love the last diagonal, especially the end!

[dlp61]

she makes it look so effortless...

[bakaneko434]

its in the prince's dreams that he sees aurora

[urranuss]

stunning!

she is so graceful,she is the best dancer in the royal ballet hands down!

[vandenwer]

I prefer  Opera de Paris choreography to this, though alina is great¡¡

[kattheballerina]

I love the Royal Ballet, and Alina...but I prefer the L'opera de Paris choregraphy to this, it had more flow in my opinion. But Alina's beautiful dancing makes up for it :)

[OmgitsNeens]

I agree.

[icarrus4u]

Wonderful!

[Heartistic4Him]

She is incredible. I love watching her!

[ABTBluebird]

absolutely perfect and STUNNING.

[balletphanatic]

omg she is perfect!!!!!

i couldn't find a single thing wrong with her if i tried!!!!!

[leinaalaomeliac]

She has wonderfully expressive arms! Lovely!!

[a7xfriends]

she is by far the best aurora ive ever seen!!

shes flawless. literally. like omg shes an inspiration!!

BRAVAAAAAA

[hahaha2531]

I love Alina! She's beautiful and she is my favotite ballerina =)

[bogdan772002]

Pacat ca nici un roman nu a facut un comentariu pana acum. Acesta sa fie gradul nostru de cultura?

[danse0pera]

Elle est merveilleuse; quel contrôle. Sa danse respire. Par contre je préfère largement la choréraphie Noureev...

[pointemeout]

she's pretty close to perfect. i'd love to see her perform all of her roles just a little faster tho. it looks super easy for her.

[LaureAnn310589]

Love the mouvements in her upper body!

[yakinodi]

Her port de bras is exquisite.....

[LaidFairy]

is this existing on dvd?

[SilverInsanity]

Yes.

[321Kirby321]

I love the end of this variation! and alina too!

[mim2006]

does anyone have the music of this part of the variation? I simply love it (or perhaps rose adagio?)

[nessballerina]

alina is the perfect aurora !!

i love her soo much

[gratefulgrace]

I agree with you!!! Absolutely breath taking.

[ruteyo]

best AURORA since MARGOT FONTYN

[rosacotton]

Very lovely, so graceful and flowing.

[pandaballerina6]

This is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. Alina at her best, it makes me want to cry it's so beautiful!

[ecj177]

Absolutely marvelous!

[GuysAndDollsFan]

And i thought her meyerling act was good!

[MyLifeEnPointe]

it looks like a flying butterfly , she looks so free and her moves are so perfect and gracefull

sooo beautifull

and look at those legs

so perfect

[poursuivant1]

I love her. The way she gives life to every role. The liquidity in her movements. The technique. Her acting.

I must say she has the best port de bras I've ever seen.

Amazing!

Now if Alina and the Royal Ballet will just come back to DC...

[Lissbirds]

Or if they just put more of her performances on DVD I'd be happy. Especially this one. :)

[poursuivant1]

Giselle for me. The little snippet on YT is not enough.

[SilverInsanity]

The ROH has said on their facebook that they will put Giselle with Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg on DVD.

[icarrus4u]

Now that was beautiful.

[balletgirl16]

love alina!!!

[SilverInsanity]

She's not "just cute," as you put it; she has skills, too, in order to achieve her pretty high extensions.

[egomi24]

Viviana Durante looks better, plus, her turns are sloppy

[AML32FOUETTES]

She is spectactular! She is sooooo good at everything she does!

[tutus4life]

omg she does everything with such ease!! i love alina

[sexybolero2]

now i'm proud that i'm romanian!!!! great performance!!!

[ECBarnes3]

I agree with you

[joWlovesballet]

I think that she is the greatest ballerina performing today.
