What I love about Aurelie is that she isn't a freakish dancer in any way, she doesn't have freakishly amazing feet (although they are still beautiful) and her legs aren't "nice" because they are super high (although she can get them up when she wants) but she is just a beautiful dancer to watch as she is, like the old classics (Anna Pavlova etc) :)

I don't wanna think when will arrive the time to her to retire. It will be such a lost for the ballet. She's a real artist. So perfect, so artistic, so femminine.

@nicolezly I just finished watching "PROKOFIEV - Romeo and Juliet - Ballet" (Dec 23, 2011 5:30 pm) all six minutes of it. No tutus here either! The long dresses at the beginning really have a very dramatic effect. It would not look the same with the ladies in tutus. A ballerina in a tutu would not take those drastic steps. There is a definite purpose for long dresses. From now on I will not dismiss long dresses so lightly. Thank you for making me look!

@nicolezly today (12/23/2011) I watched "Giselle- Ballet Bolshoi Theatre" the full one hour, 22 minutes, three seconds version, and I must say I am without words to describe my way of thinking now about long dresses and tutus. I didn't see a single tutu there! At first, it started like a silent opera, and of course there was no need for either there. But as the ballet progressed, I could see how it might be possible that the long dresses could have a function. By the way, what do you call them?

@nicolesly Off hand, I would say yes. But let me try and see them and I'll let you know. I am not very familiar with the nuances of the differences between a long dress and a tutu. I also do not know the rules for when to wear one or the other.

[nicolezly]

@flubished do you mean you would rather see giselle or juliet in tutu?

[blackeuh]

She's amazing... She's one of the best I think. She's so graceful ! It's a pleasure to look at her...

[flubished]

Why does she have to keep changing dresses? Ballet is not ballet without the tutu!

[nicolezly]

She is my favorite sylphide in this variation. Because of her, I become so much more interested in seeing French in tulle than Russians, although Russians have their own good!

@xweryt oh Thanks!!

@keishkeish606

She has Paris Opera Ballet hands! There are Royal Ballet hand, Bolshoi hands, Kirov hands, etc. etc. - all subtly different.

@Cazarellagaia Elle est toute de delicatesse et de retenue. I always wonder why any character in classical ballet would raise their leg to the height of the ear (although the Black Swan and Carmen might; Giselle does not need to). Dancers use high extension all the time and now it is meaningless. Dupont in Sylphide looks just like an old engraving of Taglioni ; she is in the pure tradition of Chauvire. The third variation is remarkable. There is a lot of strength behind the delicacy.
