I’d almost rather watch rehearsals than the performance....I learn so much from watching the dancers work and talk about what they’re trying to do, even if I don’t understand their language. I could watch them all day!

laurent hilaire is so gorgeous! i love how sylvie dances without a bun in. shes amazing

She is truely the embodiment of beauty.

02:27 The ultimate pointe shoes destroyer in action! I bet that she needed 100 pairs of shoes each month. It is incredible how strong were and still are her feet.

1:04 i love her, she daydreams there. i'm pisces too and daydreaming a lot.

this video is from a movie called Guillem, by Francoise Ha Van Kern. You can order it online

Laurent Hilaire, a living great & a genius. With Sylvie? The best since Fonteyn & Nureyev (imo).

Guillem is very publicized , there are also others Great ballerinas but VHS didn't exist no or à few videos of them on Y T : Nathalia Bessermertnova , Noella Pontois erea 70'- 80 ' , Ludmilla Semeniaka and more .

What I love about this clip is you know it's Romeo & Juliet from the movement and the relationship the dancers are developing, even though you don't know the ballet (which I didn't! I just thought, 'This HAS to be Romeo & Juliet.') Where be thy auto-complete now, Cleetus? (Do try to be less smug whilst the grown up artists show us how it should be done.)

It's Laurent Hilaire, and he is gorgeous.

Laurent Hilaire est le meilleur partenaire de Sylvie Guillem, il y a vraiment un truc spécial entre eux ....

She's quite fitting in the role of Juliet, the rebel girl.

6:20 Amazing.

@nothersheep Actually, I'd find her gorgeous, even on the street. Especially on the street. Maybe thin isn't appealing to you personally, but that doesn't make it 'terrifying' to everyone else. To each, their own.

she is everything i want to be.

oh laurent u so hilarious

yes Laurent is gorgeous... I wish my dance partner looked like him :p

👍👍👍❤️🙏👏👏👏👏🎶🎼

I always wondered what they were saying and laughing at during the Romeo&Juliet rehearsal. Can somebody resume it a little bit? I dont speak french obviously

Is there no part 3?

4:16 so funny ! xD

Qual o nome da coreografia solo a partir de 0:07?

la voix "off" est celle de Ghislaine Thesmar.

how old is she in this video???

what is the point of the harness???

Somebody...can you translate their French to English at 3:20 to 7:10??? I wanna know what they are discussing.

who is her partner?

Well, of a very particular beauty. Her dancing is incomparable, but if you remember her sitting in her change room nearly naked... she's so thin you'd likely find her appearance disturbing if you ran into her on the street. That's one of the weird things about modeling, ballet, even movies. What's beautiful in one context can be terrifying in another. But, yes, in the context of dance, she's sublime, and her body does exactly what we ask it to. It suggests something beyond everyday humanity.

she is 43?

She's the baddest bitch!

The pink shoes were ugly! Her heels wernt down
