The best dancing I have ever seen in the Classical Ballet. Love and tradition,,,sharing,,,all members are great !! The so called rich countries can learn from this.
I fully agree with you. This is my most favorite production. Lovely, the white costumes add to the ethereal beauty of this most beautiful Life art, with all components of art and beauty for all the Senses.
This is the loveliest Paquita production, including the white costumes. The Cuban ballet is my favorite one. yes it is in the Russian style but with its own special style,uniqueness that is quite striking. You bring so much beauty and joy to this world. Thank you very much!! AND the Lovely charismatic Anette.k
BRAVO!!! To all these great artists!! Love The 3:15 min AND on, with the corps de ballet AND on to The lovely, unique PDD. Thank you for filling our souls with so much Love AND Beauty. That Is a combination that creates great art.
Miss Delgado is wonderful. Her variation and coda were beautiful !!!.I wish I could have the opportunity to see her live in Havana some day. Perfect performance. Thank you Habanero.
It's a joy to find here the two missing segments from the Mariinsky and Bolshoi Paquita videos. The Mariinsky and Bolshoi simply edited those out of their Paquita videos.
Gracias a habanero0494npor subir estos videos del Ballet cubano para que todos podamos disfrutar de ellos, de su perfeccion y de la maravillosa interpretacion del ballet Cubano.
Oh my god. Best version of Paquita's grand pas I saw but.... why this beautiful dancing have to be accompanied by this.... not so great orchestra?? I don't want to use insults but... just... ew.
No tocan mal, parece una orquesta chica que que toca fuerte para ganar caudal. La acústica de la sala no parece muy buena, se pierden mucho las bajas frecuencias.
JavierHoses. El tamano de la orquesta parece variar de acuerdo a la ocasion, Me imagino que la mayor parte de las veces es pequena y algunas otras pequenisimas. Por otro lado no hay que perder de vista que ninguna de estas grabaciones son profecionales, en cuyo caso se podria manipular mas el sonido de manera mas fovorable. De todas maneras hay que agradecer el esfuerso de habanero0494, entre otros, por hacernos llegar estas maravillas.
During the Soviet period, when Cuba and Russia were close, Moscow sent top ballet masters, choreographers and teachers to Cuba to train young ballerinas. Cubans learned it from Russians. Traditionally, Cubans aren't dancers but musicians (OK, the Rhumba.)
Please provide the list of top ballet masters, choreographers, and teachers the soviets sent to Cuba. Azari Plisetsky we know of, I look forward to reading your list!
+MrQbenDanny. Sadly, I cannot compile a list, Mr.Q., because I do not recall their names and I do not believe I ever knew their names nor, I gather, did you. But because I am probably older than you (85) I recall vividly the Soviet/Cuban period when a great many Soviet ballet professionals were sent to Cuba to train Cubans - this was widely reported in the American press at the time. Perhaps they were hidden in ICBMs or missile silos, or even in warheads.
+Gordon Ackerman LOL! HAHAHA! The soviets hid many things. I recall vividly the occupation of the missiles as they passed in front of my house. But back to ballet. "Russia is the cradle of ballet" it is a phrase I have often written and stand by. In fact Mr.A, The Russian influence in Cuban ballet goes way further back than Soviet Union. By the 60's the Cuban School of Ballet had already been noted and on the record by Fernando Alonso and can be appreciated by the glorious Giselle of 1963 production that starred Alicia Alonso and Azari Plisetsky. Every one in the film is Cuban. The Russian school is indeed the most important in the Cuban School, next comes the Italian school with the quick batterie and petite allegro. The great Russian teaching in Cuban ballet are the emigres that fled the communists and brought their gifts to the west. Among them are Alexandra Fedorova who was Alicia's favorite and helped shape her style, Obukhov, Dmitry Romanoff, and of course George Balanchine who was influential with the Old Russian Imperial style and Asaf Messerer (Plisetsky uncle )were of great importance to shaping the Cuban style particularly in the virtuosity and power of men's training and Soviet Union connection. Plisetsky brought this to Cuba along with being Alicia's partner and helpful in shaping the cuban style but really Cuba owes also to the French School neatness, Danish, Italia (Cecchetti), and English port de bras. But I will always be loyal to the Russian school, as a student in America, my favorite teachers were always Russian and I particularly love the usage of the back in the epaulment (shoulder movement ). They were Maria Svoboda, Valentina Pereyslavic, Igor Schuezzoff, and the great Igor Youskevitch. Can you let us know what great ballet performances you saw? Did you see Ulanova?
+MrQbenDanny. You are ill-informed. Russia most assuredly wasn't the "cradle of ballet" or anything like it. Ballet is a 200 % French invention, though the first ballerina to dance en pointe was Italian. The French stole it from the Italians and the Russians stole it from the French. Today, however, ballet may be deemed Russia's "national art " - every little Russian girl dreams of becoming a ballerina.The rest of your historical assertions I cannot comment on. Informatively, I was the co-founder and co-director of one of the largest classical ballet schools in Northern Europe, with 430 students - the "Ackerman Ballet Studio" in Helsinki, Finland. Several of our girls went on to professional careers with major European companies. I don't know what "LOL! HAHAHA! means. Rather don't message me again. Thank you
+Gordon Ackerman Why so angry Mr Ackerman? The truth is the truth whether you want to believe it or not it's still the truth. Russia IS the cradle of ballet, look at the history books. As for your evolution of ballet analysis it is unworthy of you a professional man who ran a prestigious academia in Finland to use the word stolen. I look at it differently kind sir. Ballet was born in Italy, the French adopted it and the Russians blessed it. Clearly respect and recognition should be paid to someone like you who brought the art of ballet to Finland a country not commonly associated with the form, and according to your statements with success and prized students. It would be of great interest to the world balletomanes to get to know you and your legacy. No need for anger. As for LOL it means laughing out loud, your cylo,missiles comment was funny. I hope you change your mind and let us know about the Ackerman spirit and your life in ballet.
It is a shame that such splendid dancing has to take place to the horrible, tone-deaf sounds coming out of that orchestra pit. Great dancing to the worst orchestra I have heard in a many, many years. Shame on them.
+Ignacio Martínez-Ybor. I believe it's the instruments that disturb you, not the musicians. When this video was made, Cuba was in much worse shape than it's in now. They couldn't afford top grade instruments.
+Ignacio Martinez-Ybor. Your critique is unfair. Cuba is a congenitally poor country - it has always been poor. It is in better shape under Castro than it was under the previous, awful administrations. Castro introduced universal, free, good-quality health care and excellent primary and secondary education -that's UNESCO's opinion as well as mine. Cuba has no drugs, no crime, no illegal weapons. As for the orchestra, I agree - it's awful. Probably they can't afford first-class instruments. But the playing is good, I'd say.
@@gordonackerman4105 Yes, you are a smart and knowledgeble man. I can vouch for what you said since i gree up under Soviets and all you say, there i is truth!! Thank you How refreshing to read a comment that most people dont have a clue about Warm regards!
@@gordonackerman4105 Wow...you seem to have a deep understanding and knowledge of a country that, even me living there for 28 years up until when I was able to escape in 2001, don't seem to recognize from your assessment. Enlighten me, please...because it looks I've missed something.

The cuban school of dance is one of the thee best schools in the world (thank to Alicia Alonso), no doubt about it ! ... But the orchestra is terrible !
Es la mejor versión de Paquita reconocida en el mundo por todo su conjunto , el que ustedes sean unos frustrados no quiere decir nada , los músicos son todos de escuela no se hagan los esquistos que suenan a patas de puercos recalcitrantes poco educados , envidiosos , que nunca han ido al ballet por los disparates que dicen , ellos ostentan los mas grandes galardones de ballet en el mundo MEDIOCRES CUBA ES PROFETA EN SU PAIS Y EL MUNDO .................................

E’ sempre un piacere vederli ballare. Una gioia per gli occhi.

Yes, i fully agree, re : a.Delgado.
Great, beautiful, lovely precise style from my favorite ballet co., The cuban balet. Thank you!
It's a joy to find here the two missing segments from the Mariinsky and Bolshoi Paquita videos. The Mariinsky and Bolshoi simply edited those out of their Paquita videos.
And Alicia Alonso!🌹🌼🌹🌼🌹🌼🌹RIP
Wonderful! I'm becoming a big fan of both Anette and Dani. Thank you for all your videos from BNC performances!
Wonderful charismatic couple.
She has such great bearing, elegance, pride-love in her dancing. And unusual beautiful lovely warm smile.
Gracias!
Ever tried to watch a ballet clip in mute mode? If not, then here you will start thinking that it's never late to start.
Gracias a habanero0494npor subir estos videos del Ballet cubano para que todos podamos disfrutar de ellos, de su perfeccion y de la maravillosa interpretacion del ballet Cubano.
Si, muchas gracias!!
Mi favorito ballet perfecto, compania de primera clase, bailarinos, vestidos, coreografia .gracias.

Gracias🙏💕
¡Bravo!
3 bravos!!!
I really want to watch this but this is AGONY for the ears!!!!
Who is dancing the first variation?
Delagado is good
perché i Cubani devono sempre fare diversamente?
What about the orchestra. Funeral team...
Oh my god. Best version of Paquita's grand pas I saw but.... why this beautiful dancing have to be accompanied by this.... not so great orchestra?? I don't want to use insults but... just... ew.
Just a thought.....could you in the pit practice a lot more. It makes these stunning dancers nearly unwatchable!

some thing to be said for the sqeeking orchestra,
I find the prima ballerina’s feet a little untidy. The ballerina soloists had more finely shaped feet than she did.
a little? ...she has terrible feet
