I love how they’ve all got their own uniqueness to them 🙂
@@I.love.chease I'll bet the choreography aids in that a little.
I love the way you described each dancer .
I know next to nothing about ballet. I am a orchestra musician so I’m usually in the pit. Having said that, the ability of ballerinas to dance on pointe shoes fascinates me. Ms. Osipiva’s shoes look different to me, almost like they are collapsing while she is dancing. Does anyone see the same?
Thecatspajamas891 You’re right! Osipova almost always wears beaten up shoes. In ballet people place an unreasonable emphasis on arched metatarsals, which Osipova doesn’t naturally have, so my guess is that she prefers softer shoes because it’s much easier to point your feet in them.
There’s ALWAYS the guy who coughs.. ALWAYS
He must have a season ticket.
yep when i was doing my nutcracker for ballet there was this one dude who coughed c r i
Ahahahah he's been paid for sure :P
Coughing is better than farting!!!!
Or the ones who begin clapping in the middle of a play.
Osipova, my God, she's so fast even the cameraman cannot keep up with her jumping and turning all around the stage!
I got dizzy by watching her. My favorite
**cough**
This is incredibly true!
Natalia Osipova is more of a fierce,powerful and energetic type.
@@simpxx__.150 I agree completely!👍
Me: I’d like to do ballet
My Joints: sis no
9 year old me: "I want to be on pointe shoes ASAP!"
Now: I can't believe I wised for all these blisters on my feet
Literally sane
@@soniahabtom1786 honestly....but it's so fun
@@soniahabtom1786 ima be on pointe in 2 years how does it feel?
I just got my pointe shoes and even just sewing them is enough brainfuck to get me frustrated 🤠 shdbhdh
Me: bumb my toe * acts like the world is ending *
Them: * jumping on their toes without a break *
😂😂😂
@Jo Bird what, are you a ballerina
If u jump on ur toes wrong it hurts I’ve done it before
oh no they definitely break, it’s happened to me before and it hurts like hell
Lol that's me too.
marianela is so effortless and light on her feet. natalia is energetic and dynamic. sarah is delicate and very elegant in her movement. my three favourite ballet dancers in my opinion😍
You couldn't make better description
I ' like to know who made ranking? No creditability at all!
😍🥰😘😚😻😽👌
Beautiful!
Nuñez is not light and ethereal at all
I join the others who have commented on the absence on Svetlana Zakharova. She takes my breath away. You belong at the top of this list, Svetlana!
for me Zakharova is the top, 1st place. Others take tenth, eleventh and so on...
@@antpu238 i fully agree with you.
How could they not include her, she is truly a born ballerina in every way.
Interestingly, it was Baryshnikov who picked her out.
Interestingly, Michael, it was Baryshnikov who saw her exceptional qualities, loved her arms,hands, extensions,
extensions, ideal ballerina body, artistry, musicality, etc.
Same with Diana Vishneva
I agree - she is my favorite
Let's face it.. they're all wonderful dancers, in their own unique ways, but the Russians are impeccably trained, consistently.
I'm not saying that you're incorrect or that you're being rude to those of us who aren't trained the Russian way. . . but there are so many different styles of ballet that it's impossible to compare, and the way that people are trained determines a lot about how they dance.
The Russian dancers were lovely, but so were some of the others. Not all really did the variation they danced justice. Ballet should be about the artistic interpretation of the particular role.
It is easy to compare.
The Russians dancers are better.
True but I LOVED Sarah Lamb!!!!
They were all good but I noticed that the Russians seemed to have costumes that were not helping. Ekaterina in La Esmeralda? Her skirt flops up and it's distracting from her performance. Same with Anastasia Stashkevich in Coppelia. Her skirt has the same issue. It's like there's a skirt over her tutu and it's not a flattering line. The color is also not the most flattering color. It's a shame because it's not their fault but it is distracting from their performance. Not all of the Russians had bad costumes but the ones that were bad were really bad.
For example, Nina's costume in the Golden Age enhances her performance. Her lines look clean and the color fits the more modern set and choreography.

I know Ulyana Lopatikna isn't dancing anymore but gooshhhh she was a true queen!! Loved her
So true!!
Truuue

Best ever
Yes! Wonderful ballerinas all of them, glad to see Nina Kaptsova here (as I think she is somehow underrated..) and my all time favorite, Miss Osipova! Brava!
You have to see her interview. It’s a very interesting story
@@kirak5439 interview at kaptsova or osipova? Can u share the link?
The costumes, the music, the technique, the expression, the passion... all of it done perfectly in each performance. It's simply breathtaking.
Tiler Peck's solo literally looks like it's being played at 2x speed. Amazing!
NYCB has a post up they call their fall season 2020--it is a collection of past performances of Balanchine ballet excerpts. Tiler Peck dances Tchaikovsky Pas de deux and her speed is INCREDIBLE! Plus, elan, artistry, you name it.
Perfect description 😍
Maybe they "literally" did play it at 2x speed!
I love Balanchine, especially because of the speed
She's fast, AND everything is so well articulated. Classic Balanchine style.
I love😍😍😍 Zakharova Khoreva Lopatkina and Osipova
Gorgeous list - my top 4 is Marianela Nunez, Evgenia Obratszova, Maria Kochetkova and Natalia Osipova. Can't whittle it down to 3, and I've only seen Nunez live out of these 4. Will never forget it - she is just magical ❤️
I propose to your attention to thoroughly see and compare all those four ballerinas, the top best according to the author of the video! I made this video on purpose! ☝ th-cam.com/video/Ve76_WHJF2Q/w-d-xo.html ☝
I'm so happy to see another Maria Kochetkova fan! I was heart-broken when she left San Francisco.
Thrilled to see so many of my favourites in your list .... especially Alina Cojocaru who is a superb ballerina technically and dramatically 👏👏👏
who's here after watching Pretty tiny things lol
lmao
What a disappointment that show was lol
I'm going to ballet class in 3 days I'm so excited
@@Fandomonium456 indeed
Meee😅
Не у всех можно даже техничность оценить по представленным отрывкам, не говоря о передаче образа. Но даже при таком кратком ознакомлении Наталья Осипова явная фаворитка! 🎉💐💐💐
Очень понравилась Fogo 💐
I love Fogo, too ❤
Согласна. Разные отрывки, мало, что понятно. Меня тоже Фого впечатлила, а ещё Сара Лэмб - такая миниатюрная, легкость+аристократическая отточенность движений, - тоже никогда о ней не слышала. Теперь посмотрю.
Thank you for this beautiful compilation of all of these amazing ballerinas - it would be hard for me to choose a favorite(s) from among them!🌺🌹💕
I especially loved Fogo and Novikova. As always, Osipova is so exciting to watch.
Wonderful compilation!!!
So glad to see again Nina Kaptsova I love and of course Natalia Osipova, Eugenia Obratzsova, Alina Cocojaru, etc. You made such great choices and I appreciate all your work, love that went into this great video.
there is no need for comparisons who is better, they are all great to just enjoy each one.🙏🙋💕🎈
Thanks
Thank you for this compilation of lovely and talented dancers. It was a pleasure to watch. C❤❤❤
Sarah Lamb has such a style that makes it look effortless. She impresses me
2:50 I didn't expect her to be so good. Wow.
Thanks for uploading this.
I love ballet and you made me a precious gift with that.
its hurts my toes just watching 6:22
I'm not interested in ballerina dancing, i do like more hip-hop but here I am... Watching... This is awesome!!! So majestic!!!
In summary: a dance that looks like humans acting out birds having a conversation
I’m here because I watched “ Tiny pretty things “ on Netflix and I wanted to know more about ballet 😆
Mad respect for ballerinas. I've been watching ballerina videos on youtube and it's insane the amount of effort and training (and pain) they must go through when at a professional level.
Nice List. Would love to hear your opinion on Yasmine Naghdi. She's the reason I started getting more interested in Ballet, when I saw her dancing Julia. I was working in a cinema and we had a ROH Live Broadcast event.
Natalia will always be my favorite because of her impeccable technique paired with energy extraordinary acting.
Natalia ❤️
Agreed.
They are all so incredibly beautiful and artistically genuine. Each has her own unique genius and it is so wonderful to enjoy their talent.
Russians are the most flexible as always, bravissime
What a great set. All the dancers are wonderful. Osipova and Krysanova are incredibly fast and have a bit of a similar dance style. I love both.
What beautiful dancers! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just incredible. What a gift and joy to watch. Thank You.
So many talented and beautiful dancers- incredible! And each has their own style. I really loved the lightness of Nikisha Fogo - she made each jump look so effortless. At this level, I do think "the best" is very subjective because it does come down to personal preference. And even some choreography is better suited to some styles depending on the character played, so it is hard to compare. Still we like to watch certain dancers more than others, just as certain singers touch our hearts more than others. :) we're very fortunate to have such talent and dedication in such a difficult art like ballet.
Um Svetlana Zakharova? She’s undeniably in the top ranks even if you don’t personally like her dancing - otherwise cool list! 🤗
This dislike people have of her is pathetic. Most Black Swansook dodgy next to hers.
bien sûr Svetlana Zakharova must be in !!! what an unforgivable mistake 😨
What is bad in her
She is a best ballet dancer if you have these things in minds that she don,t do well can you do ballet better from her
The answer is no
Потому что ее место на Олимпе! Она богиня в балете
The Royal Opera House has uploaded "La fille mal gardée", with Marianela Nuñez. I think it would be posted just for another week, and it is amazing! I was mesmerized.
IShe is wonderful: grace, technique, personality. That ballet shows all these features and more.
I love watching these ballet dancers. Thank you.
Wow I love Renata's dance. Extraordinary! Also Alina, wow the energy. Superb
Great choices! Shakirova has so much potential; I can see her being one of the best of our era one day. Nikisha is lovely and underrated. Katya is adorable in and brings fresh innocence to nearly all of her roles. Miriam’s bluebird is nice, but Yuhoi Choe will always have my heart in that role. Obratzsova reminds me of Gelsey Kirkland sometimes, in both her dancing and physical appearance. She truly looks like a young Gelsey, and just like Gelsey, Giselle is one of her greatest roles. I miss Alina at the Royal. :( She, Osipova, and Nela are the three queens of RB. I would say of all listed, Natalia Osipova is my favorite 💕
Nikisha Fogo ws the best to me. My favorite.
So glad I watched this . Such Beautiful performers . Amazing!!!
All russsian schooled ballerinas has very nice fluid and easy-aired hands
I have a ballerina friend, quite a beautiful, well known dancer, who had to stop her career. When she went (?) 'en point' and would spin on one toe, she would release violent farts, even heard over the orchestra. She would be in tears, but the public would be hysterically laughing. So sad and awful for her.
Maryanne Tesh this made me laugh 😂
The Russian ballerinas are superior .. I'm not even Russian but I know it
The Russian dancers are not superior, they a lovely dancers, but there are many other very beautiful dancers throughout the world.
@@annbrixey9651 they’re superior. Russia is ranked the best country at ballet in the world. It’s not an opinion, it’s facts. that doesn’t mean the other dancers are bad tho, they’re still amazing!
@@annbrixey9651 statistically, they are. They’re the best of the best. Same with rhythmic gymnastics, Russian gymnasts are trained robots.
Which Russian Ballerina are you talking about? they are not all ballerinas. they are dancers.
Nonsens callng russian dancers as Roboter only just because you cannot becpme better. . Russian are extremely well feel music and in generell have better coordination as europeans. It ts genetical. And to not forget, speaking of other ballet schools - USA, british, french, any other- you will find there russians as dancers, as chaoreograchs, directory. So all these Otter style are very mich ingluenced by russians as well.
I can’t help liking the russians more, épaulements, technique and expressive movements! That’s just my opinion
I feel like the Russians are the kings and queens at everything
So true!
@@snowfall8093 I wish more countries would focus as much on ballet and improving education in the artform as russia does, so that we could see high quality ballet performances from all over the world.
I agree but then again they send their kids away at five to train and not see their parents and it is funded by the government. People pay for their training in the US atleast.
Jenna Brook I don’t get your point! Ballet is an important educational art form, the fact that it’s funded by the government makes it accessible to everyone in the country and that’s why they’re able to discover and develop such great artists! Ballet shouldn’t be precluded to people who don’t have the money to afford a ballet education, it’s art and it should reach everyone
My granddaughter Brianna had such a good time dancing with you after the Nutcracker performance in 1000 Oaks. She was an evergreen tree. We have been reading all about your career and we hope your neck is better. Happy New Year from Brianna.
Lovely ballerinas and so special to see, thank you for sharing
"Competitions are for horses not artists."
Bela Bartok
Horses are great artists. Ballet dancers are great artists.
That's a cool quote :) Is it like a way of saying that the best person to compete with is yourself?
Why is nobody talking about how perfect is Marianela Núñez? She is the best in my opinion.
I propose to your attention to thoroughly see and compare all those four ballerinas, the top best according to the author of the video! I made this video on purpose! ☝ th-cam.com/video/Ve76_WHJF2Q/w-d-xo.html ☝
Totally agree :)
Bc tv
Personally she may be superb technically but she has absolutely no instincts regarding acting,, musicality or individual expression. Every move, every head tilt, every facial expression, everything is calculated and plotted out for an effect. To me there’s no intrinsic artistry behind her absolutely perfect technique. She also tAkes her rubato over the limit. A great balance is definitely to be admired. We all know by now that Nela can balance indefinitely - no reason to be indiscriminately proving it.
I think she is very expresive. In her performances she gives all of her and I think she really loves to dance.
Another fantastic compilation from you! Thank you for taking the time to share these. I could not agree more with the choices you have made for this video. I always love it when dancers like Anastasia Staskevich and Miriam Ould Braham are praised. Of course I love every single one of the dancers who added to this list.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@SuperBalletgirl101 This is for you !))
☝ th-cam.com/video/Ve76_WHJF2Q/w-d-xo.html
thank you for this it makes me so happy
Number 1- great choice 😊. She’s my favourite.
Yessss!! Alina!!
I Always LOVE to watch the female ballet dancers dance perfectly!! 😁❤️
La tecnica y la elegancia de las bailarinas rusas es insuperable,so increibles de buenas que son...viva Rusia!!!
There are all so amazing. I started watch my jaw dropped immediately
Olesya Novikova is so underrated, but she has to be the greatest of all time... the perfect ballerina, could watch her for hours... Osipova is always fun to watch for athleticism, her feet are so strong...amazing dancer. I like when they hold extensions a little longer. Cojocaru also does this with grace and without too much obviousmuscle.
Love them all! Also a huge fan of Beckanne Sisk at Ballet West. She's considered a prodigy, joined a company at 18 dancing principal roles at 19! She's 27 now I think and a principal dancer
Yes - Beckanne should be on this list as she is amazing! She is still amazing and her Rubies in Jewels had people gasping. She is also a wonderful person in life and her smile radiates from the stage all the way to the exit doors. Check out her performance in Onegin as it is spectacular!
I think my top 4 favorites based on how captivating they are to watch with how effortless their technique is and how they’re incredibly lively yet exceptionally elegant at the same time are Nikisha, Anastasia, Evgenia, and Natalia.
I enjoyed Fogo's performance. I think Osipova has more current same performance of what was included here. And the missing ballerina Zakharova I think she's very good too.
Thanks for highlighting Mariinsky ballerinas. They are a sensational company but too often overshadowed by Bolshoi.
Difficult to choose between Nunez & Cojocaru! Lucky to have seen them both live. Fine dancers, but wonderful actors too - communicate so brilliantly with audiences.
I agree. Both have enormous range as well. I love Osipova too but always feel she shines in very dramatic rather than lyrical roles or the quirkiness of an Ashton ballet.
Agree completely! Their technique is so solid that they can act without compromising it.
Beautiful compilation!
Very good choices! Amazing thank you!
I love how Natalia did her firebirds in her Don Quixote variation it was soo pretty!
Marianela is my absolute favourite but I actually love her most in more modern roles like manon
Так у нее ноги не балерины, а гимнастки, какой ещё абсолют.вы не видели ног настоящих балерин, Надежда Павлова, Екатерина Максимова вот балерины.
I couldn’t stop myself to appreciate these people’s talent. They are such a gem. I never knew about this type of dance being called Ballerina dance and these dancers made me to look for more details on Google. Not a second is wasted watching this video.
Phenomenal display of human female performance in one of the the most (if not THE MOST) difficult artistic "form" discipline. Brought tears to my eyes... It also makes me hopeful for the hidden grandeur of our species and confirms the majesty of our female gender as the central aspect of everything sublime and splendorous in our nature.. Thanks for this superb compilation!
Watching this confirms to me my preference for dancers trained at Vaganova - and I prefer the Mariinksky style to the Bolshoi. Marianela is an exception to this "Vaganova preference" - she's incredible as always.
Marianela is my favorite 🤍🥺✨ her musicality and interpretation are just out of this world! ☺️ but they’re all incredible
I suspect marianela might be your favorite because of the role she is playing swan lake which is a gorgeous rule and very aesthetically beautiful. If you were to watch the other Russians that are sublimely talented and gorgeous and even rules that are not nearly as beautiful as swan lake, I think you would change your opinion. Watch Natalia osipova do swan lake or Svetlana Khorkeeva.. stunning
You are right! Marianela is my favorite
So beautiful, and they make it look so effortless. Decades of education, work, and rehearsal and unbelievable talent is all it takes, after all.
theyre STUNNING and so good
Ossipiva is the real number 1. Even the orchestra has to increase the speed to keep up with her
These are the truly blessed. Years of training, pain and sacrifice given freely to star and open a window into he sublime, if only for a moment. We can never thank you enough.
All extraordinary but uniquely exceptional in my eyes is Nikisha Fogo. So fluid! Her body flows like molten metal. Just breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
I must have missed it... did she dance here?
@@crieverytim Yes, she was #13.
@@soude85 thank you! Yes she was quite good, really convincing storytelling
Is number 7 being performed at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth TX?? The layout, textures of the walls down to the lighting placement looks exactly like it!!
So, so sublime. Unearthly beautiful. Inspiring. A gift from Heaven this is; the only explanation for such lovely creatures as these!
Russian girls are born to be ballerina, its just in their blood . They are divine!!! Ulyana Lopatkina🙌🙌
they work the hardest and it shows
Lopatkina was born in Crimea, Ukraine.
I literally cannot breathe. Such beautiful artistry. As a former ballet dancer, I cannot imagine rising to this level of expert. So amazing.
This is so, so good. Thank you.
19:38 made my heart stop
Marianela is my favorite-so good she makes me cry in fact 😭♥️
@@thesilvershiningis Marinella your favorite of all time or just from these performances because she happened to have the most beautiful role of them all posted here in swan lake. If you watch Svetlana Khorkeeva or Natalia Osipova perform swan lake, or there's another Russian as well I forgot her name, you will cry it is gorgeous and far superior to Marianela. You must remember, not all rules are created equal and some are more beautiful than others just by virtue of the nature of the role. If you look up the Russians doing swan lake it is unbeatable
@@primalcritters we still prefer Nella. Thank you.
I wish ballet dancers got the credit and appreciation all of the popular dance show performers get today! I mean ballet is sexy, beautiful, elegant and takes real talent. It should be in the mainstream more. Not to be trendy like everything else but ballet is an excellent form of dance that should be more prominant in our culture. imo
Amen!!!
It is a very popular and a prominent part of the culture in many parts of the world, especially in Russia and other european countries. It is mainly america that underappreciates ballet, they seem to view it as pretentious or elitist or something. America is a very new country, so it doesn't have much of a tradition of classicism so this isn't very surprising tbh
@@hi-ve1cw new country without traditions and brainwash machine too
the people in USA forget your traditions and heritage
so very wonderful to watch !!
Awesome I love seeing this!!!Look at how amazing they move!!❤️💚🎀👍👍👍🏆🏆🍀
Какие вы божественные, девчонки-балерины!!! Глядя на вас, хочется жить! Вы ПРЕКРАСНЫ!!!
Nikisha Fogo, sells me the story the best. when i walk away from this thats who i'm remembering and i dont think thats an insinuation that shes the most gifted or most talented, or the most skilled, but her ability to serve a story a platter is impeccable, shes talented and yes she is skilled, but it goes beyond foot work and posture when i see that, with Nikisha it seemed like as art form head to toe rather than some others where it was either all footwork or all posture and bounce in the step, but i think but i think here at least in my opinion Nikisha blended it all together, the best.
So beautiful.... Thanks for sharing. Greetings!
I'm totally an amateur but personally Olesya Novikova and Evgenia Obraztsova are my favs! They just look so fluid and soft and delicate especially their arms!
I would have liked to see Maria Khoreva (at Mariinsky) included in the list - beautiful lines and extremely talented.
I would love to one day see ballet studios that also cater to those less fortunate children born into low income households.
It teaches not only the art of dance but grace,good lifetime posture and many benefits for living a healthy lifestyle and meeting positive people who want to be a productive member of society.
The third one WOW she is moveing with the rhythm perfectly like a quill
I love watching ballet and I am a ballet dancer so.......I could watch it all day long everyday for a year
Ballet I think is a representation of how beautiful the human body can be. Like it shows the body in the most beautiful forms.
For me is the contortionist. I can watch them perform all day long.
Sarah Lamb in Romeo&Juliet, Natalia Osipova in Giselle and Marianela Nuñez in Don Quixote would be my favourite picks❤ I can only hope I'll be able to see all these great dancers live one day🤞🏻
This is for you !)) ☝ th-cam.com/video/Ve76_WHJF2Q/w-d-xo.html
☝ th-cam.com/video/zgCjPO3kCOI/w-d-xo.html
I agree exactly!
The best Giselle… Osipova!!
Me and my two older sisters were enrolled in ballet, tap, jazz and baton when I was 4 years old, my sisters were three and four years older than me. Our mother died when she was 31 years old from a brain aneurysm. I was six years old. The dance lessons stopped. It all stopped. I would have given anything to be a ballerina. I could watch it all day. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sorry to read that 😔.
I'm 30 years old and would love to be a ballerina. The music, the technical perfection, the costumes. Everything is so beautiful. Even the lifestyle; I know it's difficult but the discipline is something beautiful in my eyes.
Next year I will start some kind of dance. It's not all lost for us.
I hope you will enjoy the world of ballet in some way.
I wish you the best!!!
@@lucianaleiva518 Thank You, so are so sweet. Unfortunrtly I have severe nerve damage in my back now. I live in chronic pain. I also have foot drop in both feet and wear braces on my feet. I still love ballet. I will sit here at night and turn everything off and watch ballet all night on my iPad. It comforts me,, I love the beauty of it. I even say it wouldn’t matter to me if I was a principal dancer or not. I would just love to be on the stage performing and be part of assemble. As long as there is ballet to keep watching I will be happy. 😀
I know absolutely nothing about techniques, but ohhh how glad am I to see Alina on this list!!!! The first time I saw Giselle, I was completely blown away by how good she conveyed the expression of a young girl, her aura is so refreshing & innocent. Can't help but falling in love.
Svetlana Shakorova not in it!! Nah, impossible, she not only should be in it, she absolutely is 1st rank, we have to talk about you leaving out a Prima Ballerina Assoluta.
So true! Smirnova and Vishneva as well
Absolutely! Svetlana is more beautiful than any of these dancers!
You mean Svetlana Zakharova. She's the best!
Zakharova , the BEST!!!
Most lists on the internet about best ballerinas of all times don't even include Maya Plisetskaya, so it doesn't surprise me they didn't include Svetlana, it's as if they don't rank them based on their skills but based on other factors.
The other video getting removed made me so sad!! I watched it just about everyday since 2018 :(
I'm sorry to hear that! Message me and I'll see what I can do.
What are your thoughts on Anzelina Vorontsova?
