  • I like it! It doesn't seem like she's dancing ballet. Looks like she's using ballet to dance the role of the swan. i know im kind of not making sense but it does to me.. :P

  • Can someone imagine how long it took to her to dance like this? How many parties that she has not gone? Practice, practice and practice, to give us a so beautiful moment like this. Rodrigo.

  • She IS a swan... She's better than Zakharova in this role...

  • @loulie1997 AGREED. not even Paulina Sem. can touch her.

  • i would love it if i could watch this without bawling

  • The best since Pavlova....

  • What a beautiful and graceful dancer, when she's dancing she's out of this reality, she's just sublime!

  • Ballet isn't just a dance style- it's an artistic medium.

    Like any other paint or piece of charcoal, you can use it for technicality, precision, accuracy- or you can use it to truly convey the spirit of beauty.

  • Sometimes she looks like Rachel Weisz!! o.O

  • @retteuns That's the choreography though... It's a tool to help create that wounded, life draining away quality that everyone is raving about. Notice how she starts the dance with well-placed wrists but as her character dies, the wrists start going making her look weaker. It's a nuance thing and a powerful nuance at that.

  • Yes, princessystuff is correct ....She is the Swan ....Fantastic!!!!

  • What I see is not a ballet dancer. I see a beautiful, yet wounded swan that is fighting against death with a desperate wish to stay alive... Heartbreaking, really. But oh so beautiful...
