[polkadotpolka123]

THAT BALANCE AT THE END!!!

[natnatie101]

shes even better today!

[sarqastiqa]

Amo su interpretacion en la bella durmiente. Por favor Mezcla de dulzura ,delicadeza, presenciaa y precision



[AndDanielaSays]

This is my favorite version.

[avonfox]

I don't know, I think that although she is not a fiery Kitri, she is quite sprightly, which for her works with this role.  She is too adorable.

[alnklar]

dat echappes

[magicalgrasshopper]

one of the greatest dancers on this generation hands down!

such an artist...and she improved about a million times since this

[ultacatlover]

what does ppd stand for?

[Kata397533]

@ultacatlover pas de deux, french for 'step of two'

[Dianna8275]

Seems a little rushed and aggressive, danced perfectly yet lacked musicalityfor me at least.

[MarianiFerreira]

very agressive

[FerSbMT]

wow just perfect..

but the music i don´t like a t the end sounds bad

Alina C. the best

[p40531]

she's so nice!!

Alina can make the hardest role look pretty easy. That's really hard to achieve.

God bless her !!! she has demonstrated how ballet has to be danced.

She's totally amazing in every role, even with her sweet personality I can see her flair in Don Quixote.

[bluesuedehsu]

i love alina! she makes everything look so easy :)

[matteicharlotte]

Belle danseuse !!!

Mais je ne connaissais pas cette version de don quijote

[Kata397533]

she is probably the best kitri i will ever see! but could someone tell me why kitri has a fan?

[jackyp1893]

@Kata397533 "Don Quixote" took place in Spain, and it was in style for the women to have fans during that time period. Also, fans are used when dancing the flamenco(a traditional spanish dance).

[tutugirl4life]

I love seeing her artistry grow through the years she has danced.... she is simply divine <3

[reginaholic]

she coulda used a bit more spice but overall it was good :)

[kbtdancer1222]

Pause at 0:39 seconds! what a deep demi plie!

[princessmitz]

your right!

wow! :D

[giselleacttwo]

Wow, no kidding!

[SoulReeper85]

Very bad lighting, but her variation is so smooth and expressive that this is by far my favorite!

[slobirder]

@SoulReeper85 Yep ,

but you should look at Natalia Osipova's variation of don quixote wwaaaayyyy beettteerrr XD

[ballet4evernever]

she's totally beautiful in this variation!! and her tutu is the prettiest i've ever seen for don quixote!!

[supermodelsfan]

aww so beautiful and graceful :D

[balletbunhead777]

ok i LOVE alina she has my favorite dancer she is such a good sleeping beauty and cupid but i feel that she is too soft and sweet for this role

[LaFeeVerte1209]

I love the huge cheer she gets at the end.

[odile77]

echapés... beautiful...

[FanOfRudyLenners]

is this alina???????

[Lauri08]

the one and only :)

[andy7972]

Alina puede hacer cualquier rol que exista y siempre se va a ver perfecta.

Es la mejor bailarina de nuestra epoca!

[wooddog15]

i never knew she could pull off such an opposite role from aurora!The two are very different right. Aurora isvery elegant and regal princess-y and Kitri is spunky and spanish duh! haha she looks almost dangerous with the fan. I'd love to be like her well you know not counting the rumored terrible blisters on her feet hehe i dont get blisters:D She's such a versatile dancer she is myIDOL and her shoulders doont go up when she turns like some dancers :D

[vanillabean001]

i love dancers with versatilaty! they're not just stuck in their one element. and it's needed! i hope i can be like that somebody but i'm too shy.

[Clockmouth]

i like it but it's weird when she runs

[vanillabean001]

but i like the run BECAUSE it's weird! it's very kitri, don't you think? :-)

[Clockmouth]

well i've never thought of it that way! but i still prefer the normal way lol

[bolshoiboy8]

i like it 2.

[bolshoiboy8]

i jus wish her technique was better.

[AlysseEnPointe]

Don't try to act like you know what you're talking about when you really don't.

[bolshoiboy8]

ur bein a hater...

[Brusamer]

are u insane?? oO

[vanillabean001]

goddddddddddd the endinggggggggggggggg!!

[kattheballerina]

She never ceases to amaze =]

[rosy879]

She has so much attitude that makes her perfect for this role.

[BillyElliotLover96]

the instruments sound really out of tune

[anaoietchau]

GAMEI OK *-------------*

[Mirichan]

She's amazing. Alina's one of my favourite dancers. I HATE that stage and lighting, though.

[Grisi93]

the lighing is so annoying

[GuysAndDollsFan]

beautiful

[mochabubble]

gorgeous dancer! I absolutely adore Alina Cojocaru. however, i think the orchestra... well... lets just say they should have matched the dancers excellence more.

[bala54]

Far from Svetlana Sacharova...

[merluzasfritas]

yes, Sveltana is so behind her.....

[BillyElliotLover96]

you cant even spell it..... lol

[rubiaa06]

you can even spell it

[SilverInsanity]

The music was a tad bit messy.  Blech. But the dance was beautiful.

[dlanda9241]

i love her!

[sallysegalene73]

she looks relaxed but... spunky (?) at the same time. a great performer.

[morricone1900]

Sounds like the Lanchbery orchestration on crack! :)

I could watch Alina dance the phone book. <3

[bobibo2007]

Very nice.
