5 Most Exhilarating Ballet Codas ~ Valdes, Simkin, Kimin Kim, Osipova, Ivan Vasiliev, Cojocaru, etc.

[@mirtalefkof302]

Amazing talent! Osipova & Vasieliv best pairing in ballet history!

[@tumendorgieva3035]

Кимин - гений балета! Как он прекрасен во всех отношениях: великолепная стать, длинные ноги, недосягаемый прыжок, музыкальность, артистизм и конечно высочайший профессионализм;

[@candidacarino669]

These classical ballet dancers all express great joy and elation ❤ 😊 with their energetic jumps and turns ❤️ and of course I love Osipova and Vasiliev the most ❤️ 😍💕 💘 ! But truly they're all gorgeous 😍! Thank you to @TheBunduBallerina for sharing ❤️ 💕.

[@markbeck8384]

Wonderful stuff. It is interesting how a great deal of it is variations on the same tricks. In this, the Tchaikovsky pas de deux comes off as the most original.. (although a lot of it has to do with what the music suggests). Love all these artists!

[@kellyantoniadou8897]

Of course a coda compilation should have a Vasiliev/Osipova coda! He is doing triple tours en l' aire?!? Of course a coda compilation should have some Cuban dancers! Viengsay's turns are mesmerizing. And I am just a huge fan of Kobborg/Cojocaru partnership. Her lines are impeccable, their quality is not affected by the coda's speed, that straight back in her arabesques is so beautiful. An amazing compilation I enjoyed a lot. Thanks Bundu ballerina!

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thanks so much for your kind words and descriptive comment!

Osipova/Vasiliev son fuego en el escenario.

[@natalisvetozar3548]

Как великолепен Кимин Ким!!! Стал не досягаем и выразительностью, и физическими данными!!! Боги танца своего времени: Наталья Осипова!!! Иван Васильев!!! БеЗконечное наслаждение !!!

[@MrRight1000]

Wow, Valdes! She is simply sunning!!

[@carmen9330]

Totally agreed! Also her Kitri, one of the very best.

[@williamdeng1870]

What a wonderful performance! How excellent those ballet dancers!

Kimin Kim’s astonishing…wings on his ankles and springs for toes! Plus precise movement, incredible athleticism.

wow, vasiliev and osipova are dynamic beyond belief.. they were SO exciting. cojocaru and kobborg, SO elegant but still athletic. amazing couples. thanks for the videos!

[@eugenia870]

Great selection of amazing codas by outstanding dancers! All really great! I personally continue to marvel at Osipova's pirouettes with jumps even after so many years! I have not yet seen something similar. And I find Cojocaru in the Balanchine PDD is divine... literally such delicate movements out of this world! Thanks for making and sharing this video!

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you so much!

[@christar9527]

Osipova must be the only one to jump while doing fouettés. She’s marvelous.

[@karennoble1076]

What a wonderful compilation of these great dancers. It seems like they are all performing, geting better and better!! Simkin is so much like another Baryshnikov .Thank you, dear Bundu Ballerina and all people that participated in this great video. With 💕 Love.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you so much!

Astonishing work…a joy to watch.

[@a.mie.533]

Yes, indeed! Who wouldn't be enthralled by that beauty and perfection! 🤩

That was fun to watch, Bundu Ballerina, first thing this morning. Learned what a coda is in ballet. Thanks for posting this.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

Stunning!! Each dancer has a great stage presence, flair and definitely charisma. Thank you for this energetic video!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you too!

[@AndreaSchear]

Extraordinary dancers delightful beyond all words to describe! Amazing technique and timing! The way that Kimtin suspends himself in the air similar to Baryshnikov! Keep this coming!!!!💜💜💜

[@classicalaid1]

Exhilarating is the word!!!! It is hard picking favorites here....these sequences are all so rousing!

[@alenkapintar8660]

Great dancers, music and variations. I love ballet very much. Thank you for great selection.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you too!

[@susannevollmer2347]

Thank you for that, makes a good mood! Dear BunduBallerina, I would like to give a suggestion to you: would it be possible to make a video about Alexandrova? I think her exit from the bolshoi was a very calm one.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you - great idea!

[@Natalia-xo4hv]

Все хороши, но для меня лучший Кимин (хотя представлена не лучшая запись с ним). Удивила хореография дуэта Дианы и Актеона, которая к хореографии Вагановой (кроме вариации Актеона) имеет мало отношения. Почему современные постановщики так легко коверкают и вносят изменения в русскую хореографи? Попробовали бы они так же поступить с хореографией того же Баланчина. И, конечно, молодые Осипова и Васильев очень хороши, особенно, Наталья. В коде из "свадебного" па-де-де из Дон Кихота Симкин замечателен, но вот... партнершу бы ему другую. Все-таки Махатели "не дотягивает" до партнера.

[@simaraft7373]

Thank you so much for this. I would have probably never seen most of these!

[@jonnarobinson7541]

These are all wonderful codas. My favorite is from the.Flames of Paris with Ivan and Natalia. I have seen Ivan dance this role with another partner.❤

[@minissa2009]

Can I just rain on everyone's parade and say Alina Somova does the strangest fouettes I've ever seen? I understand she's trying to alternate singles and doubles but she may as well be dancing in silence for how far off the music she gets. Her second position is oddly high so she looks tilted off to her left and her working foot just seems to land wherever it pleases when she closes to pirouette position, likewise her arms. She's gotten better, she's just never quite done it for me due to overall lack of musicality. Everyone else is fabulous with great choices of pieces and dancers. Thanks for including Maia Makhatelli; she deserves so much more attention than she gets!

[@jillwhite6875]

Oh come on Alina is in a league her own as being the most incredibly feather light dancer but did enjoy Osipova, vasiliev always looks like a body builder trying too hard and exaggerating his jumps and spins to th e extreme its grace and interpretation that can be More captivating

[@minissa2009]

@@jillwhite6875 Well, that's why it's art! I adore Vasiliev, although yeah, not the typical danseur noble body. I really loved it when he and Osipova danced together. No other ballerina could match his jump.

[@kellyantoniadou8897]

Well, at least she is so fast that she manages to catch some beats 😅 Very often dancers stay behind the music due to lack of stamina in the fouettes. I have seen Somova doing way better fouettes, super fast and musical, and there I did not care much about alignment issues etc

[@veramentegina]

I was thinking exactly the same thing about Somova's weird fouettés.

[@jonnarobinson7541]

If she was in the third segment, the music was very fast, and I thought the ballerina was sloppy due to this fact. Sorry, I did not really look at the name.

[@isabelaandzico]

I know I’ve been waiting for this video my whole life. As a professional ballerina trained in Moscow, I’ve been dancing these codas for a while now. For me, the music is an integral part of what makes a great coda (it gives a sense of excitement that defeats any fatigue), so I loved seeing Diana et Acteon, Flames of Paris (spécialement parce que le 14 juillet est dans 3 jours), and Tchaikovsky’s PDD. My own personal favorites are Satanella and Flower Festival codas. May I suggest you do a video on pas de trois: Paquita, Swan Lake, and for all female, Precious Stones, Shades and Odalisques? Спасибо большое 🇧🇷🇵🇹🩰

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Great idea, thanks! I was planning on doing more coda videos 😊

[@isabelaandzico]

@@TheBunduBallerina I LOVE coda videos!!! Bravo 👏🏻

[@isabelaandzico]

@@TheBunduBallerina how about the greatest corps de ballet 🩰? I get emotional by the Swan Lake, Wilis, Shades and so many more even after moving to Demi soloist and first soloist. Dancing the Big Swans for a jumper like me will always be a favorite. Another idea: second principal roles such as Myrtha (I always wanted to be her instead of Giselle!), Gamzatti, Lilac Fairy…

[@moiraruff3292]

Couldn't help comparing Fromenta's barrel jumps with Simkins. He held his arms steady, so appearing to float - but Simkins arms flail dramatically but untidily to me. Viengsay never disappoints.

All have a great technical level of course they express their personal feelings differently.I saw whole of them on stage except Vasiliev, a big regret❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@giovannatomasini4445]

Somova's fouettés aren't so special.

I agree, Somova’s fouettés move around in this video excerpt. I actually chose it for Kimin Kim. 😊
