Ottime le pose figurali nell'ensembe e quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottima la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in veloce eundo della ballerina e la levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina.Ottimo impadronimento del proscenio direi imperativo a balzi falcati amplissimi da parte del ballerino.Eccellente il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante. Superlativi. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
She is so lovely! Nice quadruple pirouette at the end of her fouettes! The fish dives were indeed a fail but haven't seen anyone do then right outside of the NYCB.
she has neither great feet nor hyper extension, yet you can't move your eyes away from her. She's such a beautiful dancer with great musicality. Her fluid moves are breathtaking.
She needed a partner as sure and daring of himself as she is of herself. I love that she took chances with the music, taking things close enough to the edge to be a bit dangerous... very exciting performance on her part. He was waaaay too safe, imo.
Beautiful! The fish dives at the end just need a bit more daring. If you look at how the ballet was danced when Balanchine was still alive (and keeping a critical eye on things), the ballerinas literally went flying through the air.
Oh for godsake--people are complaining about the steps HERE when there are videos out there of things like ALINA COJOCARU and ALINA SOMOVA (!!!!!!!!!!) destroying this ballet? I might add that such personages as Svetlana Zakharova and Darcey Bussell also do not cover themselves with glory in this role. Mlle. Froustey is clean and honest and attempts most of the steps, which is more than can be said for the international 'stars' who slaughter them. Funny how the Trust doesn't seem to care (cont)
@Lanou Il faut plutôt qu'elle appelle le Royal Ballet! Le Bolshoi c'est pas ce qu'il y de mieux... Par rapport à l'Opéra ou le Royal en tout cas pour moi il y a pas photo! :)
I saw her up close and her long slim legs are very pretty. Her feet are fine. I love pretty feet as much as anybody but feet are not everything and it really isn't good to have foot fetish. She has been in San Francisco this season and we were so fortunate to have her here. She has everything and that is how she won gold at the Varna IBC when she was only 18.
about 'Balanchine TechniqueTM' and 'Balanchine StandardsTM' if it's a big enough name, isn't it? Yes, the dives are wrong (and they usually are at NYCB too) and Bittencourt is too cautious (those dives are perilous if done right--I saw a ballerina just about get dropped on her head once) but Mlle. Froustey is obviously a lovely dancer and, as Lanou and plumplumpudding so trenchantly observe, needs to get out of POB to be appreciated. (Mlle. Lefevre is LEAVING! THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!)
Those dives. I’ve only seen one ballerina do it right, and that was on film. Suzanne Farrell in “The Turning Point.” I’m surprised that succeeding generations of NYCB ballerinas haven’t been coached to get it right.
La meilleure chose à faire pour Mlle Froustey est de décrocher son téléphone, appeler le Bolchoï, et décamper d'un opéra de Paris asphyxié et rampant (enfin, il faut qu'elle le fasse si elle veut être soliste)
These dancers are so good it's a great pity that they don't hear the music in the way that Balanchine taught American dancers to hear. As a result so much of their work goes for less than it should. It's down to the coaching, I suppose. My experience is that I've seen American dancers who are, arguably, much less well trained, pull off a more satisfying performance simply on the strength of their Balanchine-inspired observance of the music.
She doesn't look pretty her legs are too big and her feet? body doesn't look proportionate. not amazing him either on the part where he's jumping..jumping but without personality.

I think she's fantastic. I'm so happy she came to San Francisco!
They are very good but my favorite remains Obratzsova and Merkuriev.

S Yang great feet great gargouillade!
She is one of the best in the PDT!
Que belleza!!.....gracias
Elle est merveilleuse dans Roméo et Juliette avec le San Francisco Ballet
Mathilde excellent
Merci!

S Yang Mathilde Froustey is now dancing with the San Francisco Ballet.
ohmigod so good
@Lanou Il faut plutôt qu'elle appelle le Royal Ballet! Le Bolshoi c'est pas ce qu'il y de mieux... Par rapport à l'Opéra ou le Royal en tout cas pour moi il y a pas photo! :)
Beautiful dancing. The dives at the end of the coda aren't correct.
Yikes. Bloody hell she's fabulous! What is with POB and their women? Amazing!!! Other dancer's around the world look a bit sad compared :o
@annacoribioanna: everyone is a critic. "body doesn't look proportionate" your mind doesn't look either :-)

@theamazingsoter oui, il vaut mieux changer le titre...sinon, le trust va ...truster..

She really had the Balanchine sense of being daringly off-balance and dangerously syncopated. The "fish dives" were awful.
EycYannick Bittencourt qu’est il devenu?
Fish dives are the silliest moves in ballet. At least Mattie tries to make them attractive! I like her alot
A lot of things in life are silly, but we still enjoy them.
You should have told Balanchine that before he died. Maybe he would have altered the choreography to suit your taste.
What is it about certain POB ballerinas? They look like they have their point shoes on the wrong feet.

Great observation/assessment!
I think I recognize some of the steps...
Ces't OK. Nada formidable o del otro mundo. Para eso vean a la Aureli, Melissa Hayden o La Gelsey Kirkland, eso SI era musicalidad y brio.
the male dancer is ehhh.... she is better
