@@ellenzine5174 I have a quick look at matts TH-cam channel. He has been learning from experts in the field of movement for the last couple of years.

No shit....
There was a genuine joy to her dancing as if she were saying oh that was impossibly hard and so incredibly fun. Her legs and feet are sheer balletic beauty.
Darcey Bussell is without a doubt one of the most elegant and graceful dancers I have ever seen. But she is more than just a wonderful dancer, her personality and smile just lit up the stage and captivated her audiences.
This is so pretty, she makes it look effortless, but I know just how hard it is to do this. They practice for 40+ hours a week and it takes time to do this and it’s just so graceful. I’m going on pointe soon and all this dancers inspire me so much.
@@FelixDance88 ??? I’m on pointe, I was told by my teachers and went to PT for it and was fitted right. I’m doing very well now. I’m trained at a studio
It is so interesting looking at the steps behind her and who is sitting there: Lauren Cuthbertson, Samantha Raine, Sarah Lamb, Laura McCulloch, I even think Marianela Nunez is sat there too!
Marianela Núñez is not there, in 2005 she had already been a principal for three years, so I don't think she would have been cast in such a small role.
They don't necessarily play only the main roles. She's there with the first soloists, just one rank before principal , so it's nothing strange@@samantha7549
@@samantha7549 It could be another girl (I think her name might be Anna?) who looks quite like Marianela, I originally thought it was her when I first saw her perform.
Darcey Bussell is absolutely extraordinary in this variation/solo. This is a piece of extraordinarily difficult choreography with not a scintilla of spare time in the music. She gorgeously executes the variation with matchless musicality and virtuosity. She’s equally amazing as the Huntress in the ballet: another variation of extraordinary difficulty. I believe not even every principal could execute these two variations. Bussell is simply matchless in this role. I’m sure Fonteyn was sublime in her time (as she was in everything with her pure line, perfect port des bras and musicality...but to compare two such completely different dancers from different eras is not possible in any event). Brava Ms Bussell....
I love you guys so much! I am only 12 and i have been doing ballet for 10 years straight! My dreams are to become a professional and i practice everyday! You guys are the reason i still do ballet!
Thanks for this video. I have the DVD in my house, and I see it very often, the production is truly fabulous and the dancers are fabulous too , specially Darcey and Roberto , the music is great, in short, it is a DVD of those that become memorable and unrepeatable. I had the good fortune to go to London on November 4, 2004, to see the first performance of Sylvia with Darcey Bussell and Jonathan Cope, it was an unforgettable performance, a great success. The next day, on the 5th, Zenaida Zenaida Yanowsky was Sylvia, and she got another great success. The truth is that I will never forget those two days in London, thanks to Darcey and Zenaida, memorable performances ¡¡¡ :-)
Looks effortless. That's many years of graphting and commitment. My child is only in Grade 5 in ballet, but what an aspiration to follow. Simply beautiful. ❤️
How perfect is she!! Darsey Bussel has always been one of my all time favorite dancers. Watching this clip, I think everyone can understand why. She's so amazing it's like she's not even human. She blows me away every single time I watch her.
She is amazing! I’ve seen her doing this variation on TH-cam years ago but it has been deleted and I have been looking for it ever since! Thank you so much!
I've never been keen on my middle name 'Sylvia', but having seen this performance I am a hell of a lot more proud of it than I was before. Stunning dancing!
Not only is her dancing beautiful, but she's actually getting her moves on beat. I've seen so many ballerinas who are so focused on the moves that they don't seem to get them on time. (Spoken from a musician, not a ballerina)
For those of you saying that that is marianela in the background. I don't think so, Nela around this looked a little different from now. Her hair was blonde, also, she was promoted to principal in 2002 and even tho she did some soloist parts (such as the lilac fairy and the queen of willis) to me, the woman behind Darcey looks more like today's Nela.

These hops on pointe are so hard!!
Marcela Fernandez they ARE difficult. You do it then.
Which ones (there are a bunch)
Ana Cruz idk about me but I’m like 9 (turning 10) I can kind of go on pointe
@@evelynnnyynyn132 going on pointe is different to hops on pointe. They take much more ankle strength than just rises or pirouettes or whatever
especially with the bended knee + hopping backwards. Those poor ankles :)
She does it so lightly and stylish way.

dont do it! or have a backup plan

Mmm!!
@Michelle Edradan lol 😂
that is why I like to preview a performance before I actually go to see a live one
*I WAS LOWKEY ABOUT TO LOOK FOR THIS COMMENT-*
Look closely at Sylvia's attendants and you'll see future principals Sarah Lamb, Lauren Cuthbertson and Marianela Nunez
But wasn't Marianela already a principal by 2005?
@@eurekamreum5458 yes, she was, i don't think it is marianela. Her hair was blonde-ish at that time
I definitely spotted Lauren! she is my favourite current principal so this was so magical to see!
Beautiful eye!
A favourite video is of Darcey coaching Marienela in this very role.

Yes Sylvia was made on Fonteyn, so she would have sparkled in this choreography, as Ashton would have used all her man y talents!
Absolutely remarkable! That is one marathon of a solo, and for her to be so light and effortless in it is just genius.

U started ballet at the age of 2???
@Lil’ meow meow i was not being rude
I was just surprised that she started doing ballet that early
This comment goes out to all the unsung heroes is the Corps de Ballet😘
THANK YOU!
Beautiful and Mesmerizing!!💗I love how elegant and flawless Ms Darcey is as Sylvia her techniques are out of these world and wish to have seen more!!💕
Darcy sparkles!! She was such an exceptional dancer with a great technique and presence. C❤❤
Such musicality in her dancing!
Such perfection, heart, grace, elegance, and sparkling energy! True art wrapped within the highest form of athletics. Just exquisite.

I'm watching strictly dancing on TV right now and thought I might look up Darcey I am not disappointed! What an amazing performance!
She is simply the goddess of ballet. So good, elegant and perfect! Love her Sylvia.
Looks effortless. That's many years of graphting and commitment. My child is only in Grade 5 in ballet, but what an aspiration to follow. Simply beautiful. ❤️
Absolutely brilliant! And lovely to see the next generation of principles watching and learning how it's done!

IVE SEEN THIS ONCE ON TV MANY YEARS AGO AND TRIED HARD TO FIND IT BUT I COULDN'T. CANT BELIEVE I FINALLY FIND IT OMG
ダーシー・バッセルは偉大。改めて思わされる。
このバリエーションをこんな風に魅力的に踊れるのは彼女しかいない。
大柄でゆったりしているかと思えば、脚の細かい動きや体のちょっとしたポジショニングも見事。
この上手さは他に類を見ない。本当に大好きでした。
Beautiful and so graceful. She looked light as a feather.
I've never been keen on my middle name 'Sylvia', but having seen this performance I am a hell of a lot more proud of it than I was before. Stunning dancing!
My daughter's middle name is Sylvia too! Named after my aunt.
The divine Darcey performing the divine choreography of Sir Fred. Heaven.
She is captivating indeed
This is what we called Royal Ballet Style. !!!
Sublime ! La beauté et la grâce de la femme au zénith , sur une musique sublime ! Intemporel !
this is beautiful 💕
This looks so painful and she pulls it off so gracefully
Lovely performance 👌
Wow 😮 now I know what that song fromBuzzFeed is
i forgot about that
It's a piece but ok
Zuzanna Kujawa no need to be salty
How does she manage to have sparkling, fast feet and slow, graceful arms? Just beautiful.
*sigh* That was beautiful!!! Always loved her!
I'm literally just watching her pointe shoes die from the hops alone, she's so strong!
Just GORGEOUS! ❤
absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous, gorgeous Darcey...such an incredibly beautiful dancer. (And those amazing long legs!!) Stunning. 👏🌟🌟🌟💖🌟🌟🌟👏
This is what perfection looks like !
What sets her apart from all the other prima ballerinas is the absolute joy she conveys in her dance, gestures, and face.
And when I feel like ima ballerina, I imagine myself doin all that. .. when actually I'm just jumping around.......... 😂😂😂
What a SUPERB dancer she is ❤
FANTASTIC WORK! THANK YOU GREATLY! BLESSINGS!!!
OMG THIS IS PERFECT OMG
SHE IS AMAZING
Not only is her dancing beautiful, but she's actually getting her moves on beat. I've seen so many ballerinas who are so focused on the moves that they don't seem to get them on time. (Spoken from a musician, not a ballerina)

omg i would literally be dying by the end of that, major props to her
So elegant and beautiful
I can just imagine her swearing inside coz of the pain XD
Lovely - such talent.
Beautiful dancing and beautiful person.
I can't help thinking about the thoughts going through the dancers posed behind the star of the show; always makes me chuckle.

Can you guys please post Vadim doing the la bayadere solo! I’d love to see some of the guys as well
I couldn't feel my feet after watching this.
I got to see her final performances- at the Sadler's Wells theatre and the ROH. She just commands the stage from her first appearance.
I prefer the MacMillan ballets because of the depth and dark storytelling, but she excelled in all of them.
Ugh she is so gorgeous I wish I was her
OMG such precision
My toes hurt just from watching her hop. Like, OMG! How can she do that???
I hope to be that good one day!!😍😍😍😍
The best Sylvia ! 😍
This is devilishly hard!
Absolute perfection
great to see Nella in the background taking it all in.
Little me practicing my ballet solo in my room at 3am trying not to wake the family:
What a star!
Love Darcy a lot always have!
Her control is unbelievable
I didnt know theres another choreo for this variation and I love this more 😍😍

Amazing.!!
Its funny all the other girls are looking straight ahead , but Marianelas gaze is following Darcey round the Stage taking it all in .
