"don quicksot" I hate her!

[MamzeilleLili]

Natalia has something that her haters can't understand : her passion. Yes, no need to have THE classical dance body type to know how to dance. Dancing is first from the heart! YES you can dance even if you haven't good feet, and a lot of people forget it. Thanks you, Natalia isn't a carbonate copy of all the others dancers. There's a lot of dancers who haven't the body type, the good feet, but they are just amazing (look at Margot Fonteyn or even Alina Cojocaru!)

Don 'Quicksott' ... is that really the way the British pronounce it? Americans use the old Spanish pronunciation (although pronounce the adjective quixotic in her fashion)

@MrNocco I don't and forgive me for reading your comment wrong that thinking that you hated natalia... :l

[MrNocco]

@loulie1997 if you pronounce don quixote the same that she does, then do yourself a favor and ********************

[loulie1997]

@MrNocco HOW!! WHY!!! What motive could pollute the mind to hate her?

[donchisciotte06]

splendidi ballerini! ma soprattutto artisti...

[EverlastingxHope]

I don't believe it, Natalia Osipova has haters?

[zapatillarubi]

@MamzeilleLili I'm agree with you, people thinks that a good ballerina is just a pair of long and flexible legs, and high arched feet, a real ballerina has inner power, passion and soul, and osipova has all of this!
