SLEEPING BEAUTY - Rose Adagio (Plisetskaya, 1977)

thank you, very beautiful !

Thank you! This is one of my favorite ballet clips ever! Maya is just perfect (as usual).

I have to agree. Aurora is not the perfect part for Plisetskaya. Of course, her technique is not in question. At least in this clip, she's almost too "stiff" and harsh and doesn't have the youthful sweetness and innocence of Aurora.

Simply perfect

Just remember you're seeing a 52-year old ballerina doing this.

Maya, siempre maravillosa.

Maya, the Best.

That is the weirdest Rose Adagio I've ever seen. Her technique is great though.

Her balance though..

She's a real ice princess.

A Rose Adagio with no roses. What’s with these Russians who can never get it right with Sleeping Beauty? Even the great Plisetskaya doesn’t come looking all that great in this. Her technique is fine, but just like Natalia Makarova, her idiosyncratic way of moving did not marry well to the pure classical style required of Sleeping Beauty. And just like Makarova, the role came to her too late in her career. The best Aurora of Plisetskaya’s generation was Dame Margot Fonteyn.

Watching a Ballerina do what I think is called a Arabesque Penché brought me to this. I am not an expert but am a fan.
Her leg was higher than 180° if that even possible. She did this alone. Absolutely alone. No one holding her hand. And very very slowly.
I was absolutely in awe. Fascinated by this ballerina ? Doing that move to Urhalis song
Telapatia ( was a tic toc ). From that moment I have been fully
Immersed… everything Ballet.
It’s no wonder after a very short time.

I came to This Iconic Dancer. I realize she is 52 here but have seen other clipping of a younger her.

I am trying to understand what is meant by she mastered both adagio and allegro? Which is very unusual in a dancer.

trying to view her at both.
Also to see why she was a master.

I also wondered if she could do a stand alone Arabesque Pence 180°.
I cannot see anyone that can compare to Ms. Maya P. This talent must come from TMH GOD IMHO. she stated in a clip. She was gifted with talent and energy. She did not have to practice very hard.
Amazing.
May she SIP.

Che splendore. Finalmente. E che regia. E che musica. Ora sono soprattutto sbadigli.
