Best of Sylvie Guillem

Sylvie Guillem studied at the Paris Opéra Ballet from 1977 to 1980 and in 1981, at age 16, entered the company’s corps de ballet.
Nureyev gave Guillem additional opportunities by dancing solo and principal roles in his stagings of classic ballets and newer works by contemporary choreographers, such as George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, William Forsythe, and Roland Petit.
In December 1984, when she was 19 years old, Guillem was promoted to étoile, becoming the youngest star in the Paris Opéra Ballet since the company’s founding in 1661!

Beauty, chic, elegance, charisma, magnetic stage presence, amazing range, precision, artistic integrity, generosity, insurpassable technique always of fine taste well serving the choreography, fabulous acting gifts, utter discipline and at the same time total freedom. Put that all together and much, much more and you get Sylvie Guillem. La Divina of dance.

[@xavierp2269]

The french school heritage of Petipa.

[@francinesicard464]

@@xavierp2269 The French school of Opéra de Paris mainly! Sylvie Guillem's Alma Mater. The ballet as such was born in France in the 17th century, at the Court of Louis XIV who created the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661, the first ballet school in the Westerb world. The technicality of ballet then continued to develop, and Marius Petipa, with his remarkable work, further codified this art together with many other choreographers. The Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg and the Paris Opera are the best classical ballet schools in the world. Reply

the greatest dancer of all time. Without exaggerating.

[@fabiesque]

Sylvie hasn't been only a dancer. She has been a true "actress" in the sense that she had so many "faces". And I bow to her artistical choices. She did the classics but only the meaningful ones. Not the tacky stuff with ridiculous music. She stays still today unsurpassed for charisma, beauty and elegance.
