The ballerina is Gillian's wife;;;;

Sterling you're so great

Impressive

MARVELOUS!!!!!

He uses some of the movements that Baryshnikov did - not many do. But his style is very different.

Giselle my favorite Ballet 🥰

So beautiful 😍

Graceful and beautiful

The definition of magnificence. Sandra.

ЧУДО!!!!!!!!

Bravo!

How can a ballet and talented artists suck so much hatred, jealousy and violence in the comments of people who are nothing... This world has become a spillway of hatred and ignorance the comments of this same ballet with Misty Coppeland and Sterling Baca had to be deactivated they are so insulting....Shame on all of you hyenas and cockroaches!!

An attractive gracefully coordinated duo. The ballerina an icon of femininity and the male a Greek God.

Lovely couple just really dancing to music with joy !

They are absolutely pleased with each other. Respect.

Bravo bravo bravo. GM is a true ballet goddess. Beautiful.

Amazing

Omg, this looks so cheap and unprofessional.

I wish I would have had him as a partner!!

Gillian Murphy is always stunning. Sterling was incredible in his solo and the pas de deux work.

A Prince indeed.

BRAVO .Que manera tan bella ,elegante y majestuosa de bailar QUE BELLEZA .Mil gracias

I was just watching Copeland’s variation with the same man, a year earlier.....what’s with the radically different choreography?? Right at the beginning, Copeland and Baca do an extremely awkward walk towards each other, taking about 3 8-counts, and then for some reason he kneels down and she-even more awkwardly-pretends to lift him up by his shoulders. During this version, with Murphy, she comes onstage with Baca and does the strenuous choreography I’m used to seeing. Then, later on, Baca actually has to dead-lift Copeland above his head, from the floor! I’ve _NEVER_ seen that move, in decades of watching ballet! Murphy simply runs, jumps, and she’s up there! I haven’t been much into American ballet lately, I guess bc the Russian, French, Danish, and English ballet companies have had my attention, so I dk what’s up with Copeland, but she doesn’t even look like a professional dancer, let alone a principal, and the other ABT dancers seem to be on par with Europe and Russia. What have I missed, what’s going on here??

Great performance well done

Jaw dropping

Go boy go!

We go to ABT now to see what Gillian is performing... she is only one who dances like a Russian... Praise Ideed !!!

Fabulous! Sterling is getting better with time

Sterling. Classy gracious partner

Loved both ballerinas performances of this PDD but I think Misty's just edged it for me, although I feel that the chemistry with Baca is better in this one. I suppose it should be borne in mind that chemistry is not something that can necessarily be repeated from one performance to another. It's vulnerable to all sorts of factors such as injury, fatigue or the dancer/s just generally having an off day so it's a difficult thing to judge just from one video of each performance. Both videos were great!

I feel bad for the guys in pas de Deux because all they're doing is standing there and lifting the girl (unless they have solos) while the ballerinas are taking over the stage and the audience is paying attention to only them lmao!

Who choreographed this version or what historical version was this one modeled after? I think it’s my favorite, especially the ending.

Good, but in regard of Natalia Ossipova or Renata Shakirova or bailarinas Russa, second Level. Mitsy Copland poor tecnic, show off....

omg YO You are insanely amazing Sterling, I just love watching your stuff man I wish I was as good as you I just got the role Nutcracker in my local production but not nearly as phenomenal as you man keep up the great work!

What? 4:10 No boosting her up like she's mounting a horse? That was disgraceful, her "dancing". He's a tremendous dancer, and I love the chemistry between Murphy and him.

Vvvvvv

I do prefer this one to Copeland's...

Why on earth the hate on Misty Copeland? She is a wonderful, powerful dancer, different for sure, but non the less magnificent.

I prefer Vadim Pisarov.

Glad the coronavirus happened in New York sordid cesspool

never see such beautiful pas de chats as Gillian's--this is an elegant, wonderful performance. Just wish the assemble had been grander.

I love you, Sterling!

Was Sterling fired from ABT or did he go to Pennsylvania Ballet to be a principal because he could never be a principal at ABT he doesn't have the footwork the cleanliness and the pristine quality that an American Ballet Theater male dancer must have

Is it because she has so many errors and the truth hurts...she should of gone to Pennsylvania ballet with sterling she does not have the goods to be in abt
