I agree totally ... ( 1 year ago by valeriefoucachon)
I agree totally with Sylphida!
Power, emotion, raw ... ( 1 year ago by Lilimarlene1)
Power, emotion, raw unbridled passion. That is dance. Yes, extensions. Yes, clean. But not to the exclusion of passion and intensity. I will take Maya any day! Brava!
Have to agree with ... ( 1 year ago by bristow615)
Have to agree with you there......and I hate the "lengthened" look of the starving dancers today.....Maya was doing her thing before everyone got hooked on coke and heroin in order to dance.
I'm sorry, but you ... ( 1 year ago by adballet)
I'm sorry, but you have just insulted the last 3 generations of dancers in the entire world. My weight has been btw 93 and 105 and I have never even tought of trying cocaine or heroine or any other drug, including cigarettes. I drink half glass of champagne on New Year's. Drugs DO NOT help people to look beautiful and strong and wake up every morning for class and several hours of rehearsals.
Plissetskaya was ... ( 1 year ago by adballet)
Plissetskaya was the top of her line at her time, that's as far as training would take you, however things have evolved. Somethings are not acceptable today, and if you ask her I believe she will be the first one to tell you. PLEASE START RESPECTING DANCERS, WE WORK VERY HARD AND DO NOT NEED NOR WELCOME THIS KIND OF BASHING. If you see a video of her in 1973 the walks and the extra weight are almost gone.
her weight is ... ( 1 year ago by sweetaliena)
her weight is almost gone because she's getting old. she's the kind of person who lose weight by getting older.
i dont know why ... ( 11 months ago by actor001)
i dont know why people say that she didnt have technique
its just a this time the dancers get the influence of sports such as gimnastic skating
at Plisetskaya
´s time the influence at ballet was acting and dancing here she is odile a demon /swan that is performing you got it?
she is really good! ... ( 11 months ago by jewingten)
she is really good! But the reason that she's ungraceful is because odile is suppose to be sharp and weird. If she was something else I would bet you that she is super graceful.
Dancing is ... ( 11 months ago by jewingten)
Dancing is beautiful but the headdress makes me laugh!
i agree completely ... ( 10 months ago by akdanzer)
i agree completely with adballet, anyone who works hard enough to reach that level not only with great technique but passion is awesome
Maya was one of the ... ( 10 months ago by quintajoya)
Maya was one of the greates ballerinas of the twenty century, every day dancers are exoected to do more, more extensions, more piruettes, back then they needed to be more passioned that tecnically perfect, more impressive and divas like her, Fontein, Alonso, Ulanova. To be like them was amazing.
i totally agree! ... ( 9 months ago by calbalgal)
i totally agree! and the thing is maya's technique is amazing as well as her artistry but is her artistry that we really notice.
You are right... ... ( 7 months ago by gallegotii)
You are right... Still Alonso and Maya also had a fiercely technique. They were amazing!
I can't stop ... ( 7 months ago by cbear066)
I can't stop watching her
adballet and others ... ( 6 months ago by swanningaround)
adballet and others. Maya is a class above anything around today. Maya outperforms everyone else in technique, musicality and interpretation. Perhaps Pavlova was as great, but she bought another entirely different style of dancing to the people. We love them both.
She was also a ... ( 6 months ago by radostsguy)
She was also a woman of steel! Picked on by the idiots in the Party because she was Jewish, she still went every day to dance at her beloved Bolshoi! You're not only a great ballerina, Maya, you're a great human being!
Wow. It seems to me ... ( 5 months ago by whisperingswan)
Wow. It seems to me like dancers of this age have lost whatever it was that made Plisetskaya so amazing. I've never seen a dance liker hers. Simply phenominal. Everyone who says she doesn't have technique obviously doesn't know what technique is.
You couldn't have ... ( 5 months ago by brewskyxxx)
You couldn't have said it any better. She is the greatest of all ballet dancers.
I just love her ... ( 4 months ago by brewskyxxx)
I just love her speed in her foot work. I have never seen another ballet dancer move that quickly with so much character.
In general I ... ( 4 months ago by tutugirl4life)
In general I thought it was quite good but I sometimes think when Maya does an arabesque her front hand is like a crab hand like in the shape of < But I still thought the performance was amazing
Array ( 4 months ago by tutus4life)
love her!
did she change costume for her variation? the pas costume, the bodice is different than what shes wearing for her solo/
Nope. I still don't ... ( 3 months ago by SayuriChiyo)
Nope. I still don't like her. I tried to like her since everybody worships her but I can't. She has NO grace. A good performer, but I can't see genius here. Sorry.
Are you kidding? ... ( 1 month ago by brewskyxxx)
Are you kidding? She has so much grace. Who do you think Swan Lake was intended for, to dance from the beginning? Yes Maya.
It's true that ... ( 1 month ago by chumpchkin)
It's true that sometimes some of her movements look a little odd, but I think you do have to consider that the style of ballet has changed quite a lot since her day. Point being, she's not doing anything she doesn't mean to do. And her arms are stunningly graceful...it blows me away every time. Thanks so much for posting this!
