Natalia Osipova in the Peasant PDD from "Giselle"

The Peasant Pas-de-Deux was the first role Natalia Osipova danced at the Bolshoi. The debut took place on Sept. 24, 2004, that is in three weeks after she joined the company. The present performance was recorded a bit later, probably a couple of years ago. Vyacheslav Lopatin was the partner at the debut and here.

Slava Lopatin graduated from the Academy in Voronezh, then he was a probationer at the Moscow Academy. Joined Bolshoi Ballet in 2002. Together with Osipova danced the premiere of La Sylphide by Johan Kobborg (Feb. 20, 2008).

She is lovely, gives her soul in each movement, and knows how to make the best of any role, thats a real ballerina... anybody knows who was giselle in this performance?...

I think, Osipova will get to be a prima, not just another prima but another assoluta of bolshoi, and she will not retire at a young age... we will have years and years of Osipova I hope... she is todays Maximova or Nina...

Wow--she's a superstar, I can tell she puts her whole soul into her dancing!

This PDD was missing from the 3D GISELLE movie shown in America. I thought that was a great miss......

This was a well-deserved first role for Ms. Osipova. I could even imagine her doing Giselle in her first three weeks let alone Peasant Pas. Bravo, her jumps never seize to amaze me.

Do her feet even touch the ground...?

[pointemeout]

i must admit that i might fall in love with her dancing style. it is quite appropriate.

I'm really impressed! She jumps just as high as the man. Usuually the women's jumps are not as high as their partner's, but hers is :) Good job!

@kfmcmahon very truth

[kfmcmahon]

I don't rele love her feet but her energy is outstanding. She's the only dancer I truly believe (nowadays) that ENJOYS dancing.

Okay, what is there even to say? She's the perfect ballet dancer. Everything about her dancing is just wonderful.

Did her shoes bother anybody else? I don't know what it is ... they were distracting somethings.
