Bolshoi Ballet - The Nutcracker - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - Ovation

After having seen multiple dancers and versions, i always come back to watch this interpretation. The final round, the small fairy like subtle and soft movements, the playful attitude has made this my favourite sugarplum fairy of them all.

she´s great but her piruettes are a little bit weak

amazinggggggggggg so beautiful !!!!!

Bravo, this is the best sugar plum fairy choreography 😊 I love the way the dancer interpreted the character.

Una de las mejores interpretaciones coreográficas que he visto. No he podido encontrar otra en Bolshoi. Los giros y los tiempos perfectos. Una bailarina excelente, toda una maestra de la danza, sigue siendo mi favorita.

best sugar pulm fairy choreography i have seen so far. So playful and graceful totally a fairy .D

shes wearing to much makeup

wow how can she be on pointe and bend at the knees, just wow!

I'm wearing my dress.

very STUPID

nina kaptsova did so much better

Very good performance and interpretation of the choreography. Was a shame she lost her timingduring the turning section at the end and had to compensate by adding in a few extra turns to get herself back in time with the music. She needed more control of her turns and her timing there.

pink for the tutu though

Hey, it looks like she is dancing t the music!

Who's the dancer?

Best performance ever! Perfection, precision, quickness and grace!

She is very beautiful and fluent but not a turner. She also looks fatigued in this as she stumbles and looses control a little bit.

sublime

Wow! Beautiful!

best performane ever

when was this filmed?????????????????????????????????

that was INCREDIBLE!!!!! how did she turn so quickly and elegantly?????

Lovely.

It takes a lot of work to dance ballet.  It's not as easy as you think it takes years.

👏👏👏👏👏

The dancer is just amazing! The best I´ve ever seen. And they say that there are no fairies. <3

This is better than Balanchine's by a LANDSLIDE <3

yes.. I do imagine a fairy coming out at night and dancing in a playfull and spirited manner Superb!!

This is the best rendition of the Sugar Plum Fairy I've ever seen. I honestly can't believe some people don't find her graceful or find Nina's version better.

A longer dress with a slightly more traditional skirt and little bit more of a sleeve puff prescience would have better suited her dancing style and personality. In my opinion, the type of costume in the video works best to amplify strong, controlled bounces and movements when dancers do crazy (good crazy) stuff.


Like when she twirled, the ripples would have been heavenly. Especially if it was dual-leveled with a sheer upper.


Ugh, my artists side is showing.

Just saw Disney's Nutcracker and the four realms. Here to cleanse my palette.

Is she even real??? Her movement is unlike anything I've seen

Bolshoi company really has the best choreography for this piece, their musicality goes extremely well with the physicality of the dancer. Also their dancers' footwork is the best I've seen they are strong yet light literally "on pointe" with the music. I love everything about it. I've seen the 2010 version by Nina Kaptsova and was totally "kapt-ivated" by her pixi-like presence. I want to watch them live even if it's once in my life.

What is her name?

I think the key defining beauty of Russian ballerinas for this piece specifically is a combination of-
Immense pressure for perfection.
The emphasis of beauty in face, finger, hand and arm movements- the upper half of the body is just as fluid and technical as the bottom half and the feet.
The lightness of the dancer, they always seem much skinnier than other cultures. Not saying that's healthy.
The little wing sleeves they wear for this dance piece..
Lol. Just my thoughts.

Russian Ballet is eternal art!

Oh Ok, apologies, I get carried away by passion for ballet, I have seen a lot of abuse in the recent years!

She dances amazingly, one of the best Sugar Plums as performance and choreography...........but who is the ballerina?

woooooooo φ(*￣0￣)(～￣▽￣)～

I know nothing about ballet and don't know how I got here but who id this woman??!!
She's amazing!!!

Bravo!!!

Perché non si vede la danza per Intero?

Ooo, sì. Ora si

Wow!

Red m&m: ow.
Yellow m&m: so you think Santa will like these red, and green m&ms.
Red m&m:I don't know I never met that guy, ahhh he does exist.
Santa claus: they do exist.
Red m&m, and Santa claus faint.
Yellow m&m: uhhh santa.

I'd really like to find out the name of the ballet dancer?

The best!!!!!
