  • She's just perfect.....those feet and jumps and smile and energy....like unreal......

  • I wish that everyone in the world who ever had a question about whether or not ballet really required "hard work" could see this documentary.

    Sylvie reminds us that dancers are forever moving: If it's not on stage, it's rehearsal; it's class; it's body conditioning; it's swimming; it's physio; it's fittings; it's sewing...

    The ballet dancer devotes every single second and every single body part to their craft.

    I sometimes wonder if there's a harder working body on earth!

  • @MishaGelsey as a dancer myself I truly appreciate this comment

  • yeah, dancers are athletes. Both of my daughters have class at least two hours a day 6 days a week. It takes work to make something look beautiful and effortless.

  • Just breath taking,impressive and the most dynamic 'kitri' ever.I personally think she is the best 'kitri' ever.She also bring her 'Latin' temprement into her role.

  • omg that's not sprung floor... she IS fantastical!

  • @PrincessKimberly lol I know how you feel! I feel like I compare every dancer I watch to Sylvie.

  • 今日、富山公演で観てきました。観客すべてが息を止めて一点に吸­い込まれ 会場は不思議な静けさでした。 生で拝見できてよかった。ギエムと同じ時代に生まれてよかったで­す。日本の震災のために来日してくれたギエム、本当にありがとう­!!ほんとうに本当にありがとう!!!

  • @charizianne I think what you're talking about is more her method of attack than her actual body. She doesn't really dance 'timid' or 'dainty', she charges in there and does it in a really assertive, fearless, almost athletic manner. If your idea of feminine dancing is very hesitant and coy then yeah she's gonna seem masculine to you. To me she just seems strong and just absolutely badass.

  • Perfect is an understatement 

  • she's too perfect..

    I wish I could move like that...
