Absoluter Wahnsinn! Ich habe die beiden 1973 im Govent Garden in London Tanzen gesehen-auch in Schwanensee.Ein Höhepunkt in meinen Leben. Bravo Bravissimo.

Omg I have danced a great deal in my lifetime, but if I could be as beautiful in my movement as any of the dancers posted I would be so grateful.

@kabardinka1: Thank you! And: yes! I couldn't agree more. I am also always amazed at those who constantly compare ballet legends as if they were gymnasts ("Baryshnikov was better than Nureyev", or vice versa). This is art. It's not about one goal of perfection that one meets better than another; they just have different takes on it. Why not simply enjoy these takes? Like you said, it's not about the height of jumps or about how many centimetres an extension is, it's about making the piece sing.

C'EST BEAU!! c'Est tellement incroyable de voir ce que ces danseurs peuvent faire! j'adore Fonteyn et Nureyev
It never ceases to amaze me how people get on YouTube and pick apart the technical aspects of dancers who were legends. Believe it or not, there's a lot more to dance than how high someone's arabesque was or how big a jump they had. They had magic, and without that magic and excitement, musicality and expression, technical perfection is boring and dead. But until you experience that magic first hand, you'll never believe it. :-(

That *WAS* the standard back then in her day. You cannot judge her based on today's standards for technique. Nureyev set a new standard.
