Barbara that’s what amazes me. The fact that she does slow down. When you’re in those positions you want to get out of them quickly but she just holds them. So difficult!

Barbara her dynamic is so amazing and those extensions go for miles

Colette I do it and I’m eleven

Baby Bunny congrats!!!

because those extensions are not "battement", but "développé"

+kkayspaznee Yes the music is sooo slowly I also danced this part but my music was faster...

+kkayspaznee uh, the music isn't live.

+Daph Duck "*Final Round music played by live orchestra*" in the description.

+Daph Duck this is a very, very, very prestigious competition.

kkayspaznee Zusszdrjfjfjfo

Yes

wait i thought that was the choreo

I dont think there was a live orchestra right? You can hear the tambourine a lot when she’s not doing anything with it. Such a good performance tho

@@jasminvanemmerloot it literally says in the caption the final round is played by a live orchestra

@@simone56689 😊p.!

Yes i did, But she still managed to make it look flawless!

yeah, you can see the moment she decided to cut out the echapee

XamTj I can't quite tell, but I'm not a dancer. How can something like this happen. How is the music not correct

WorkingOnMeTime live orchestra. most likely thought she was ready

no, she's dancing replace conductor.

I remember finding this a couple years ago and just now thought about it and spent like 2 hours going through so many videos trying to find it it was so memorable. I absolutely love this performance.

Agree.

Kara Hammond ㅇㅈ

You should see Madison Penney

For me, only Natalia Osipova 🌹🏆

i was crying well watching this

They started the music waaaayyyyyy toooooooo early

It 100% lacked enjoyment and passion. It was all technique, which is only about 25% of what dancing is, as an art form. What are you even saying, attack? is this a new ballet buzz word?? because it needs to be removed from the repertoire. Ballet is expression, NOT TECHNIQUE. Jesus, it's why i can't go see it anymore.

alphafemale99 Obviously you are deaf and blind then!! But no matter...maybe you will prefer to stay home and watch the soaps on TV!! Much like many brain dead Brits! Ballet is something obviously behond you! Attack....no use explaining to the ignorant LOL!!Alphafemale is definately the opposite of your true self hilarious! Stay back to your level!!

Annapacha Clarke brain dead brits?

Annapacha Clarke Obviously you are opposed to people who do not share your opinions. Congratulations! I hope your narrow-minded life is a total blast! :D ps. i had no idea that Brits were perceived as brain dead in other parts of the world. That is just an OUTRAGEOUSLY idiotic thing to say. To set you straight, no...i'm American (so go to town, your ignoramus).

Ha ha nutter...I really don't give a shit! Go get a life or get help... sad arse. Jeez. LOL

I would too...

Watch the documentary

Probably much like the way they would exact information from 'spies" in the medieval days-a toture machine! lol I'd like to see that myself. She's lovely

@@09jjacqueli odd flex but ok

Chocolate Puppy “extreme” . Her mother said this in First Position. Lol

Yes, indeedy!

Agreed!! Jealous people are useless.

anne michelle I swear we’re the same person. It’s currently 3:30 am and I’m watching this. #priorities

@@bemyfriend9802 haha lol

Ikr! She is amazing

really beautiful and extremely demanding performance. in love with each srod movement and music.

лунита then subscribe her channel

Bullshit... no emotions no drive

Katia Almayeva is my favourite

Routine?

Да не дурно

What happened to her?

@@pamclarke6785 she quit dancing and went to med school. She has a ted talk.

@@pamclarke6785 An injury gave her time to reflect that ballet just wasn't making her happy anymore. She is now studying biology at university with the aim of going into the medical field. Good on her for having the courage to walk away and start again.

@@chooseyourpoison5105 thanks for the information.

ruu Li 　日本人❗　それな❗

I watched the video at 0,25 speed, but I‘m not sure 🤔

SkylineToTheSeaAndMe Ikr.... I don't even know how the Bolshoi ballerinas function. They are way too skinny.

How is someone whose whole career was centered around competitions and who left ballet after a year in corps is a ballet role model?

She is a role model in the sense that she exudes excellence in her dancing, form , beauty, style, and technique . I was considered a role model too . I too left a year after entering my company . Sometimes really excellent dancers leave their companies NOT because they are no longer role models ... because If you are a dancer .... yourself ...we both that the dance world is full of insanity . A role model knows went to get out ......that is the true definition of a role model ....KNOW WHEN TO GET OUT!

Still so lovely ,watched this again !

@@Dorothyredshz I see, makes sense.

I know right
