One of the most expressive dancers that ever lived. She floated, defied gravity, became part of the music.

I always was in awe of Gelsey's footwork. Her feet seemed to rarely touch the floor, she seemed to make contact enough for gravity. All the rest was up-up-up of the floor, low or high. Her acting is exquisite, every movement imbued with emotion. Her Giselle mad scene is one of the most legitimate.

Gregory I saw many times live and she was always sublime. She was elegant and athletic. Her Swan Lake was both lyrical and a she hit every movement with such clarity. It was she was painting pictures as she moved.

The only person on the planet that I can think of that can do the rose adagio like this is Marianela Nuñez. But that’s in 2024. Gregory was banging this out in the 80’s. Now to be fair, I can do without the pirouettes brought to you by the number 4, but everything else is pretty much perfect.

Wow. Why wasn't Kirkland filmed professionally in everything she danced? It could only be two things; either she refused to be involved in professional filming of her repertoire or the powers that were deliberately refused to film her dancing.

She was wonderful, but can we appreciate dancers of past without tearing down dancers of today? They all used to be dancers of today, it is ALWAYS today, just different today.
@kerrytakashi12 2 жыл бұрын
Why should we accept mediocrity? This video clearly shows a devolution in the art and how it is performed by today's dancers. Do you know why Gregory gets those exquisite roll downs through the foot and perfect balance? Because she is not using over extensions of the leg. Pushing the leg up to the ear (the Russians are the worst practitioners), pushes the hip off the plumb line. So the dancer over indulging for a two second impressive, pretty picture gives up body integrity and plasticity of movement. This horrible practice could be stopped this second. The audience didn't ask for it. So the pushing of it is due to the ballet industry.

Cynthia and Margot Fonteyn danced the best rose adagios! Even if they didn't have the crazy extensions like today's dancers, the artistry and pure emotion they brought to their performances is unmatched!
@APrimbun 23 күн бұрын
I believe Cynthia Gregory's full extension was higher than you might realize. What she is doing here is a form of restraint-- it is what the choreography, style and period of the ballet required.
@Elemenohpea440 7 күн бұрын
She could have flung her leg higher, but chose not to for artistic considerations. Much like baroque opera where singers don’t add insane high notes
@sedekiman 3 жыл бұрын
Does not give the impression of a 16 year old, too mature looking. Technically very correct but a princess about to blossom? No. Fonteyn is the keeper of this role. And that tutu looks so heavy.

I've watched this clip so many times now, I can't get enough. The relaxed and perfect classicism in Gregory's dancing is so lovely. The balances are breathtaking but the beautifully controlled roll down through her foot after each extension has me awestruck. To see dancing of this caliber again would be wonderful. And I'm not in the circles that say it can't be done anymore. It can be, there are dancers out there who still know the old style and strive for it. They just aren't being chosen by the powers in charge now. THEY are dumbing down ballet by choosing less than sterling talent.

I know I've commented on this thread before, but just rewatched and am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I know from watching Bolshoi's reconstruction that the penchee was how Aurora originally finished the balances, but I really like this better, esp when done so perfectly---but that was Cynthia. Also like the way ABT was doing the bourree turns at about 4:17. We had tickets for this performance but ended up in the ER when an older friend who was with us tripped on the stairs at the Met and conked her head! Do you have any more of this perf you could post?

From the NYT review of the performance I saw with CG & Ivan Nagy: "Tchaikovsky's miraculous score carried the ballerina to veritable heights of triumph...From the moment of her first run onstage, it was clear that the evening would be hers. She started at the top & only went upward...Light shone luminously through her dancing all evening...So radiant & so joyful, Aurora's name rang true as the essence of that dancing...The wedding pas de deux was marked by a glitter & clarity of movement that made the whole performance one big wave into crescendo. Rarely has she danced better." Anna Kisselgoff also raved about Nagy's "astonishingly gallant Prince" and added that the two leads visibly inspired the soloists to put "their best feet forward." Every single dancer on that stage seemed at the very top of their game & their pointe shoes that night. I have a framed photo of Gregory in Act I over my desk as I write this to remind me of that magical night. Those were indeed the days, Eric!

Sigh. Cynthia Gregory's Rose Adagio is perfection. To think that ABT had Gregory, Makarova, and Gelsey Kirkland in the same company at that time. We were so spoiled. No to mention Baryshnikov, Ted Kivett, Ivan Nagy, and Fernando Bujones. All at the same time.
