I watched ALL other videos of this dance but this is the best variation ever. As if she IS the fairy by all accounts. Her elegance cannot be replicated. It's apparent that she danced with her heart, too. I salute you, Larissa.
I keep replaying this and each time I still hold my breath until the end. There are no words to describe how enchanting Larisa is dancing to this version.
No other versions can compare to this~ I remember seeing this when I was 5 and I was completely captivated! Since then I cannot watch any other version without looking away or judging it haha this is by far the best~ thank you for the upload!!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SUGAR PLUM FAIRY I've EVER SEEN. She's got perfect technique and the choreography is absolutely PERFECT AND METICULOUS!!! BRAVO FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen. It is so uncommon to see a ballarina that actually "feels" the music. Her performance is absolutely mesmorizing. I have watched this stream at least 10 times straight. Just beautiful!!
i just saw the nutcracker tonight!!! so beautiful, this is my favorite dance. but then again, there were the snowflakes... nah, this is my favorite. 5/5, this dancer is perfect! i wish i had a lithe body like that... sigh...
@TheAnitafrita An attitude is when you stand on one leg and the leg that is up is slightly bent at the knee. The sequence when she's dancing towards stage left between :51-:58 are attitudes, though I'm not sure which attitude turns they're talking about. I thought the turn sequence she did at 1:20-1:23 was gorgeous, when she went from hops in arabesque (same as attitude, but with a straight leg) into a step over turn.
Wow, amazing. I did ballet when I was little. So disapointend that I quit. I only quit because of all the mean kids :(. They were just so mean I couldn't spend more time with them.
She truly is an amazing dancer! Her dancing is very accurate but I can see that she's off beat some times. Not complaining though, it's hard to dance ballet. As I've said, it's amazing!
Reply to Lily Lunn....yes I think you are the only one who doesn't think this is a fantastic interpretation of the music..but...we are all entitled to our opinion :-)
The beauty of this performance and ballet I'm general makes me kinda sad. I did some ballet when I was little and then I stopped. It sucks to know I probably won't be considered graceful anytime soon. :p
I think that the sound for this video is too quiet. I have both the volume on TH-cam, and my computer on all the way, and still can't hear it. I love the song though.
This is the only version that doesn't look forced and robotic. It's absolutely flawless
It's like she has truly embodied the character of the fairy. Her dancing is enchanting!
So wish this masterpiece was available in HD somewhere... Best Sugarplum Fairy I've ever seen. Execution and choreography are flawless. Mesmerizing...

I salute you, Larissa.
She seriously look & moved like a real fairy. She's looks like she's floating.
of all the famous versions of the sugar plum fairy variations this one is my favorite. the choreography, I mean. :)
Definitely the best choreography and dancer for this dance I've seen so far
This version and this performance is still my most absolute favourite.

She is so masterful and 99.99% perfect. She makes the impossible look so easy and delightful, no pain, just art and music in performance bliss.
It's right on time with the music. It has amazing choreography.

This is my favorite dance and she does it beautifully.
It got a bit dreamy and romantic atmosphere with the slower tempo.
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SUGAR PLUM FAIRY I've EVER SEEN. She's got perfect technique and the choreography is absolutely PERFECT AND METICULOUS!!! BRAVO FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!

Traumhaft schön!!!
Wow, amazing. I did ballet when I was little. So disapointend that I quit. I only quit because of all the mean kids :(. They were just so mean I couldn't spend more time with them.
Wow this really is amazing. She makes it look so easy! Shame they didn't include the ending. To me that is the climax of the piece and the dance both!
She truly is an amazing dancer! Her dancing is very accurate but I can see that she's off beat some times. Not complaining though, it's hard to dance ballet.
As I've said, it's amazing!
Wonderful!
Wow, was für eine Körperbeherrschung! Respekt!

I love this choreography, but my favourite version ever will be Ekaterina Maximova.
Excelente!!!!!!!! mejor que vi. me encanta
@MissStellaBella97 i agree!! perfect attitude turns :) n she does this soo well. always the best, Kirov Ballet :)

NOBODY DOES IT BETTER! Russian ballet is the BEST!
Very well danced ! , though without the middle part and the score is too slow.
after i watched princess tutu i whenever i hear this music i think of that show
Love it!! :)
Larissa Lezhnina, it's in the video description if you haven't found that yet, since it has been 2 weeks since you commented
I'am hypnotized
chef-d'œuvre
I think that the sound for this video is too quiet. I have both the volume on TH-cam, and my computer on all the way, and still can't hear it. I love the song though.
