Alina Cojocaru at 15 - D'Artagnan

[@tg1w]

Funny and really unique. She put a smile on my face with this performance. Thank you Alina.

[@yq7748]

この時テレビで見てました。クロード・ベッシーさんが 「なんて事でしょう！！こんな踊りを踊らせるなんて！！！」って凄い怒ってたの覚えてますｗ 私もバレエにそう造詣が深い訳ではないですが流石に酷いと思った思い出。 月日が経ってからコジョカルさんがロイヤルで踊っているのを知って、あの時の酷いコンテンポラリーを 踊ってたお嬢さんがこんなに素敵なダンサーになって…と感無量でした

[@ksjx711]

i can watch it a thousand time, to the point where i every single step, but i wont get sick of it! i love this dance~

[@cristinabrinza1407]

Adorable!! Super talented!

[@luisrchoy]

Fabulous! One of the best dancers in the world.

[@jillgooner]

Incredible! . Saw here in romeo and juliet not that long ago and could still.pull.it off. Oh i adore her. Simply divine dancer that was a natural performer without exaggeration. Like a little feather.

[@kurichka]

WONDERFUL!! Great interpretation, great ability, wonderful mixture of dance and gimnastics, I loved it-

[@Leirix61]

Unique! The flicflacs and the ending positon! 😍

[@misterardei]

Executie perfecta, multa gratie si talent. Superb. Frumoasa coreografia si originala muzica, mix intre tango si citeva note din valsul Valurile Dunarii. Bravo Alina

[@Roccarocks]

BRAVISSIMA!!! and as always...she's got an adorable stage presence!

[@misterardei]

Un grande talento ! Stupenda, anche la coreografia mi piace molto, originale e bellissimo il mix di musica dove ad un certo punto si inseriscono le note del valzer "Le onde del Danubio" del grande compositore rumeno I. Ivanovici. Mare talent ! Superba, imi place mult si coreografia, originala si foarte frumoasa compositia muzicala unde intr-un anumit moment se imbina notele valsului "pe valurile Dunarii" de marele compozitor roman I. Ivanovici.

[@coco22mototo]

Watching this, I'm thinking that I've been doing nothing comparing to her and I'm 15 myself. Bravo, Alina, thank you for all you've done! And making not only me, but so many people, proud to be Romanian!

[@MountainsandPups]

Just when I thought I couldn't love Alina anymore than I already do!!!

[@saritachan]

she won the prix, so obviously the judges like it! It shows off Alina's dancing technique, ability to play with the music, to act, to let go of herself, to be an entertainer, and a dancer who is open to different styles and dance types.

[@indigoriviera]

This is one of the most charming routines I have ever seen!

[@suzannederringer1607]

Really charming! Wonderful style.

[@Fuzooky]

lol she looked older then! I love her she is my fav dancer and my idol!!!!

[@Hemeritt]

she's one of a kind... I love her

[@vilimihoc4992]

Superb Alina,te iubim.

[@bluegomdori]

amazing! i like how it's a bit different than a regular variation with a tutu

[@imalilcrazzy224]

THIS IS SUPER AMAZING!

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

It's so amazing that even then, at 15, she had amazing stage presense and acting skills. Not many teenagers do. Does anybody know what she did for her classical piece?

[@alilibikette]

This is pure magic =)

[@Kata397533]

even now she's still doing awesome! You guys should check out some of her more recent performances.

[@natalielandfield]

i watch this video EVERY TIME i go on youtube.

[@emiedance]

Très original et très bien exécuté

[@Papayaxproductions]

shes not only showing she can dance but also showing how strong and flexible she is.

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

precious

[@bunbacheso]

wow. that was great. Her technique is awesome, the choreography is unbelievable, and I like the idea of a girl dancing with a sword.

[@РоманОзорянский]

Белиссимо 👍👍👍👍👍фантастика, я в восторге

[@christine2450]

she is one of the best dancers, and she can more than just ballet

[@0Romi0]

this is originaly!!!...and she is very good dancer!!!!amazing !!!!

[@wolferl]

Incredible!!! Great!!!

[@ПолинаКонограй]

すごく上手だし、可愛らしくて魅力的だけど、解説の人の言うことがよく分かる…これはバレエというよりは体操みたい

[@カービィ-s4w]

コンテンポラリー枠やし、多少はいいんじゃね

[@citruses]

aw, she's so fuckin' adorable.

[@Ese27esl]

whoa that is verrrrrry cool. i love the dance

[@TheRT0529]

I just saw her in Giselle at ABT i cried, her grace is amazing. I think she is the best dancer in the world right now.

[@aleciasantos5337]

Lindaa! Amo muitoo

[@lindawyssling4514]

unforgotten.

[@kdub10009]

this neoclassical piece reflects Alina's background in gymnastics and acrobatics before she became a ballet dancer. Those who are saying "wtf is this?" and "can't she pick between ballet and gymnastics?" are being closed minded and, well, ignorant. nowadays everything is a pastiche of a million different things. we're in a postmodern age, people.

[@kurichka]

I love the commentators at the end, not being able to hide their surprise: oh la la la laa!!!! xD I don't understand the language but I understand they are surprised by this young talent.

[@Awesomelybored]

I love how original it was =D...=D =D =D

[@princessoftides87]

thx so much for uploading this!!

[@princessoftides87]

Could anyone upload her other dance please?

[@vladutz76]

Who would imagine that the girl living upstairs will become first balerina. Thas is a romanian dream (one of few): the girl from a simple family and a harsh neigbourhood becomes a star!!! And what a star! Romanians, wake up and cherish your true values

[@мейзуШОдесса]

Алина на конкурсе в Москве покорила публику своим и виступлениями в номере Мушкитер и в вариацыях получила достойную награду талантливая необыкновенно балерина

[@The444traveler]

YES ALINA!!!👏👏👏🌷

[@Noradeanda344jdndn]

i love this.

[@1schullee]

Utterly flamboyant, coquettish, playful, coy, flirtatious. She dances this piece with an extraordinary maturity. At 15, her dancing here, is almost perfect, danced by a true genius. It is only possible for a dancer born with exceptional talent. The dance is almost contemporary, humorous and funny with total abandonment. One sees Rumanian girls' gymnastic heritage. She tumbles backwards effortlessly, Jumps high with two legs totally split airborne. Footwork is swift, nimble, feather-light.

[@helenroscoe3344]

so special xxx ♥

[@balllerina1999]

I love this (:

[@angelflight2k6]

that was sooo cool! *watches again*

[@nickie2011]

15 are a difficult age...Still love Alina nowadays!

[@letsskitri]

VEEEEERRY GOOD!!

[@KatherineMayWilliams]

I LOVE that she did this at Lausanne. What a brave girl. Viva Alina!

[@timecharmsyou]

this is genious

[@CodeGeassgirl123]

this dance is so cute!!! it reminds me of a three musketeer sort of thing, it would be really cool if someone made a three musketeer ballet ( if they haven't already )

[@ktooru292]

I like this! ... She has ,cute and interesting ballet !

[@kbtdancer1222]

loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kbtdancer1222]

excelent!!

[@danliang8]

elle m'épate toujours...

[@Kelsballetdancer]

i love it! she makes the acro look good with the ballet! maybe to much swaying motion? really cool though!

[@claraequi]

I used to have a "don't fight gravity" and "forget you have arms" mantra when stretching. It will lead you through times of pain but it works pretty well.

[@tigereyes5]

for the people who think she's confused with gymnastics, clearly she just decided to do something a bit different, i'm sure she's quite right in the head. i think someone called it neo-classical? well in any case i think it was fun to watch and shows she has diversity!

[@FedeeeSylvie]

really nice and sweet

[@cjgardnerhomes]

wow thats very different to most of the ballet iv seen, i hope she continues to do well with her ballet.

[@ZachRogers94]

yes i found something very similar! thanks so much :)

[@SassyGirI]

Amazing! And sooo funny !

[@karolpanquec1234]

uau , linda demais

[@babyballerina16]

fun dance. ww she has great stage presence

[@ZachRogers94]

I wish somebody knew what this music is! Nobody seems to be sure. perhaps it is a medley or something, but the same theme is throughout the whole piece so I don't know. Anyhow... Alina is amazing! She is so adorable! And only 15 too! Wow!

[@leonora0210]

it's a tango called " hola guapa"

[@dancepig802]

Wow, so wonderful - watch out for that sword!

[@serena751215]

I like it!!!

[@pointemeout]

yes. don't feel bad. i am 21..and a male..and i still have at least a year before i've even on pointe...you will improve. we all will.

[@ballerinaliv]

what is this music. and i loved the choreography.....maybe not the idea but the choreography was good

[@kochka1981]

Great, very original. Does someone know who is the composer and what is the music title? Thanks

[@MountainsandPups]

1:23 amazing grande jete!!!

[@charlotte-vq1kz]

1:23 there now it’s a link :) how are you, seven years later lol

[@coolcat082]

does anyone know the music for this?

[@xxildancingqueenxx]

AMAZING! I am also fifteen and in comparison I feel like an amature trying to dance. She is beautiful. Not only at ballet she is able to tumble in point shoes. That is extremely hard to do!

[@annedance99]

Does anyone know how to get the splits quick because I am so freaking close and I still feel bad about myself!

[@Amarventris]

Nice to see medium crossover

[@goredoll1]

Wow.

[@MegaSidras]

does anybody know, whats the name of this beatiful composition...thanx in forward..:)))))

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

@ballettina It's to bad that's not on youtube

[@Estertje93]

Does anyone know the name of this music? Thanks

[@misterardei]

però al minuto 1,28 sono inserite anche le note del valzer "Onde del Danubio" scritto del compositore rumeno I. Ivanovici. Quindi un mix di tango e un po di valzer. Una scelta originale con un risultato stupendo. Come l'esecuzione di Alina.

[@beautyonthefire]

she is crazy talented. and the gymastics explains why she's so flexible. i also liked how she really captured a character. it was brilliant, but also a little weird.

[@Loves2dance13]

Holy SHIT! Backhandsprings in pointe shoes!

[@yoimati]

@ClaudinesWorld That's what the cmommentator says in this video. She's got angry at Alina's performance. Maybe at its choreography, too. I can't get all of their words, because these are cut.

[@happyday1643]

わ～初めて観ました☆15歳ですか～。めっちゃかわいいです。すっごく上手だったんですね、やはり・・・(・o・)

[@fz4536]

It's very cute and she did an amazing job, but really don't like the choregraphy, it's more gymnasitc than dance...

[@Quantum36911]

That's just what I thought, she is wonderful but the choreography was dreadful!

[@fz4536]

@S Cosulich Yes, but that does not take away the fact that I don't like this choreography.

[@fz4536]

@S Cosulich How can I know if I like something or not without watching ? Stupid comment.

[@fz4536]

@S Cosulich "It's very cute and she did an amazing job, but (...)" this was my first comment, isn't this nice enough for you ? I remained polite and expressed my opinion as I'm allowed to. I commented this video 6 years ago for god's sake, I didn't like the choreography but you did, good for you. You're starting to really piss me off... There are so many rude people commenting on youtube, but no, apparently I wasn't nice enough... In your first comment you replied "no" as if I was wrong. How dare you tell me "no", it is not a fact, it's an opinion, just because you like something doesn't mean that everybody has to like it. You're the one who is not being nice here, you're waisting my time and my energy... Leave me alone, keep watching videos you like, I'll do the same.

[@IsahCarvalho1307]

what the name of this music ?

[@purpleflorencesunsetssunse9519]

What's the music??

[@AnnaLRussell]

how old is she now???!

[@Roccarocks]

Little did she know that she would later be one of the most famous ballet stars currently today!

[@boggydance]

she didn't win the competition. she won a scolarship at the royal ballet. i should know i was there

[@sonyapettigrew]

you people do not know who you are commenting on obviously, just about the greatest balletrina of our time you are just being ignorant

[@Lepa2793]

ballet or gymnastics?????

[@iluv2dnc10]

ha I found this comical. Very good she transformed into the character!

[@kcanasian96]

Does anyone know what the song is called??

[@durubesli9173]

kcanasian96 I think it’s called “Hola Guapa”😊😊😊
