Gods, I can't stop watching this video! One of my favorite things EVER, possibly the best version of this solo that anybody's ever done. Sooo incredibly steamy!

By gosh! she is good- and beautiful!

@ILoveFriedFetus ... Dear Cannibal: I re-read my french-to-english translation from six months ago and nowhere could I find a mention to the Russians "owning" ballet. Can you please tell me where it is? But now that you mention it, I could believe this of the french, but the dutch and chinese? give me a break!
-
@flubished that's a myth. the russians do not "own" this art. please check some of the french, dutch and chinese dancers. people tend to think of russia as the producer of all the top primas, but that couldnt be farther from the truth.

sylvie guillem is a goddess. she is everything that i aspire to be as a dancer. her technique is flawless. but i can only ever wish to advance to a level of such high caliber, because i cannot imagine anyone, let alone myself, ever achieving the same greatness. i can simply watch in awe and that will have to be enough.
Just took my breath away. Everything about this is stunning and more especially the fabulous footwork that speaks absolutely of the Paris Opera training! Thank you so much for sharing!

I have seen Sylvie doing this live in London. The whole Covent Garden was keeping his breath, no one moved, we were all like frozen. She created a moment of ultimate beauty, ever such french class, glamour and cristalline perfection. And the bow is priceless, so chic. After seeing her on this it is very difficult to see anybodyelse
