Don Quixote Pas de Deux rehearsal

[@karennoble1168]

Sometimes i love to watch rehearsals, classes More than the stage performance, it Is a look behind the finished work, all the hard work, how human they áre. I feel like being there with them. On the stage They go beyond human. This Is a great video! It Is also very nice with just a piano. Thank you!

[@rlatimer10]

Incredibly beautiful!

[@tenorbear60]

You can feel how hard they both work.... magnificent dancing by Ms. Guillem, she fills the movement so well, cheating nothing. An artist/athlete of the highest caliber.

[@myxkul]

she is such a great artist, beautiful, perfect body. She has "it" all as a ballerina. I love this rehearsal with the piano.

[@voraciousreader3341]

I always think of this as, “Boxers, in your corners! Aaaaaand, POSE!!!” EVERY time they take off running, that jumps into my mind, unbidden. There aren’t many dancers I will watch in Don Quixote bc some of it is so silly that I can’t take it seriously, but, for these dancers, I’ll even watch them _rehearse!!_

[@lisablai]

Such pros! They really know what they're doing.

[@herrbrucvald6376]

it's 3: 52 AM and I'm binge-watching Sylvie Guillem rehearsal videos. does that make me...odd?

[@faraha87]

!mrdunn brucvald it's 2:18 a.m here. Same.

[@suzannederringer1607]

Yes. So what?

[@karenkaren3189]

No I sometimes binge watch ballet....it’s beautiful.❤️

[@karenkaren3189]

I started watching ballet about four years ago after seeing Robert Fairchild in An American in Paris on Broadway. I have seen 3 live ballets since then. I watch a lot of Royal Ballet and NYCB online. I work as an Oncology nurse, have a son with drug and mental health issues, and of course there is the constant drone of bad news and political hysteria. Ballet is a respite. ❤️

[@karennoble1168]

@@karenkaren3189 what a great Binge, ballet, soaking in all the beauty. Sometimes i cannot get enough of this most beautiful live art. Yes, for me Also a great respite AND its beauty sustains me, renews, refreshes, nourishes the soul from the harsh realities of life.

SHE is her best coach.

[@mary.bx19]

MrQbenDanny The coach is Ghislaine Thesmar isn’t it. I think is it because of her voice 😂.

[@nataliaheidorn287]

[@francisheperi4180]

Guillem has some nice little flourishes when compared to the Russian style... the French temperament?

[@ИринаКириченко-в1т]

Самые❤❤❤Олдо си Р Нуреев!

Еще Н Тимофеева-Годунов!Плисецкая с партнёром!

[@t_1234-b6q]

Is this a Nureyev restaging? The choreography is rather odd. Not necessarily in a bad way, it just takes a bit of getting used to.

[@christinacutlass1694]

A little behind the music in places, but lovely…

[@fabs8498]

Sylvie Guillem is the best ballerina of 20th century, and inspired the following generations. At this level there is no mistakes.

[@lanakapoor817]

Accoding to this rehearsal, She is not much of ballerina, She is a gymnast!

[@hejhej4441]

Gymnastics is a very respectable sport and proffesion. But a gymnast can not be compared to the amount of artistry that a prima ballerina like Sylvie Guillem posess

[@lanakapoor817]

@@hejhej4441 I prefer Russian Ballet School.. She is not my favorite.

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

​@@lanakapoor817 she is more a "mental" dancer, that's why she is so good in modern ballet, the Russian school is more "romantic" but sometimes a little too much, it can be conservative. In the "Bolero" I've found Maia Plissetskaia better than Sylvie Guillem because she had so much temper and expressiveness, even if I don't like to confess. Sylvie Guillem is more intellectual, her technique and legs are flawless.

[@lanakapoor817]

As for her technique and her legs.. It is fabulous!!! Beyond any words!!! And i agree with you, that she is more"mental".. But i prefer Russian Ballet School when dancing classical Ballet. Thanks for your answer!

Two horses to the sounds of a broken grand piano.

[@helenecharkoff1709]

??????????

[@karennoble1168]

It might not be the best piano... but the L.Minkus music Is lovely, it gives a different touch to this wonderful PDD than the orchestra AND the artists are wonderful. Love Sylvie. One of the best ballerinas ever.
