    Her arches are *gorgeous*. This variation is also not a common one at competitions which makes it all the better! (The judges are probably so tired of watching like 600 Kitri Act 3/Aurora Wedding/Black Swan variations lol)

    No one can do this variation better. Her teacher was a genius to do an uncommon variation and own it

      @jewelmarkess Před 5 lety +5

      She does it beautifully, but surely, you are not saying that a 13 year old in competition does it better than principal dancers at Bolshoi e.g. Osipova?

    • @yoonalee9256
      @yoonalee9256 Před 5 lety +18

      jewelmarkess you do have to admit that the variation was still very mature??? OF COURSE Natalia Osipova did better! Osipova is way more experienced and older than Gisele, so it’s ridiculous to compare the two. And what Scott Fitzgerald said was probably a hyperbole or exaggeration, he/she might not have meant literally Gisele’s is the best variation in the world. There’s always room for improvement. Or could you just please respect his/her opinion? Everyone’s opinion is different.

    Giselle is the perfect example of a perfect ballerina! She has an amazing pointe and she is so dedicated to dance! I can watch her dance all day and not be bored. She just has the shimmer and sparkle that makes the whole audience fall silent! She also makes everything look so easy!

      "she is so dedicated to dance" - until she got married her Mormon husband. She left ballet, it's not clear if she is coming back.

      @T B - you can look at her Instagram, I look at it every now and then. It shows her dancing with a local "Dance and Cheer" company as a guest artist. She seems to still practicing, but not a member of any company. Nobody really knows if she is coming back.

    Can she really be only 13? She dances like an adult. Even a well-traveled veteran. Graceful, poised, and full of heart ❤.

      @YAGP  Před 3 lety +9

      We are so glad you came across this video - and yes, she was indeed only 13 at the time and such a talented young dancer. Gisele ended up going on to dance with ABT and has since retired to start a family and pursue teaching. There are so many other amazing young dancers who have come through YAGP who are featured on our channel, all talented beyond their years! czcams.com/video/mpeJekz_kJU/video.html /// czcams.com/video/eBEnBnkxH8M/video.html /// czcams.com/video/vtjIP1rPbaA/video.html

    Impressionante este universo fantástico que é o ballet clássico. Não é só a música maravilhosa, os divinos pas de deux de uma excelente Valentina Koslova em LA FILLE MAL GARDEÉ, cena 8, 18,19 e 20;os guarda-roupas dessas companhias de real requinte que os bailarinos usam e cenário alegre que ele nos proporcionam, há também um toque de lirismo na linguagem corporal e, sobretudo, àquele toque sensual nos tornozelos das bailarinas ornados pela sapatilha e os respectivos laços de reais belezas. Não troco uma mesa requintada com os melhores vinhos e comida por um ballet clássico, inclusive os pas de deux de a LA FILLE MAL GARDEÉ com VALENTINA KOSLOVA: Cena 08,16(dança dos tamancos), cenas18,19 e 20.Prestemos uma vênia aos bailarinos e bailarinas,aos músicos de talentos, aos cenógrafos e, sobretudo, à arte da costura, A C O S T U R E I R A.
