Extreme Flexibility Of PrimaBallerinas (Somova,Osipova,Zakharova)

[@elisehoney4037]

its not just extreme flexibility but strength too

[@anyagray9763]

I think out of all of them, svetlana looks like she has more control of her limbs. The rest of them look like their legs are flinging all around the place because they are so long.

[@karinaogannes4240]

Svetlana is actually the tallest out of the three of them. (She’s 5’9) and in my opinion she is the most flexible out of the three and also manages to have full control

[@hejhej4441]

I'd say the opposite tbh

[@docfrank7745]

@@karinaogannes4240 Somova (5'8) is taller than Zakharova (5'7").

[@MidoriMartini]

I never knew they pumped pop music to full blast at ballet performances lmao

[@Heartbreaker1999-o5s]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@blanketfox8069]

damn it osipova... you have given me yet the inspiration to go over stretch and strech once again!

[@littlemonsterlivia]

The Russian dancers go through intense training from as young as 5.

[@gretapetenberg2525]

You are wrong. This ballerinas on video went to vaganova where you start ballet in 5th grade of school. Maybe they went to ballet lessons for kids but in vaganova they started the actual ballet study/lessons in age of 10. Expect Zakharova went to ballet school in Ukraine before she moved to vaganova.

[@nandofim]

gretapetenberg2525 "littlemonsterlivia" does not say dancers 'IN Vaganova', but Russian dancers in general in their early days. So, she is not wrong. Russian dancers have intense training since they were 5 years old.

[@Allendvpe]

U forgot Sylvia gulliem she can hold very long

[@alecsia96]

I love how the song's lyrics actually fit these 3 ladies, every move is magic...

[@arathgomez615]

alecsia96 hehe I see what u did there

[@christinestill5002]

I used to think I could pick out Zakharova just based on her extreme flexibility but she has several successors into today, 2019.

[@moonlightchill4538]

Besides having awesome flexibility, zakharova has a lot of control wich for me is what makes her the best

[@The1X1Guys]

Am I the only one who isn't terribly bothered by the choice of music?

[@kayleecromling7132]

+Chazzmainian Devil i'm not mad at it either lol

[@sarajr4927]

+Chazzmainian Devil No, you're not. In fact, I think it made a pretty cool combination.

[@speteydog2260]

Chazzmainian Devil No I don’t like it either. I had to stop it.

[@hamzagrimeh3264]

you cannot deny that you are a fan of somova alina

[@docfrank7745]

In his defense, she is kinda more extreme in her extensions than Zakharova. Osipova should not be in this list.

[@hamzagrimeh3264]

@@docfrank7745 zakharova is more flexible than osipove and somova but I said that because the whole video is about somove

[@carolinaapintoo]

these are 50% flexibility and 50% strenght tho

[@thelaurenator3008]

almost like rhythmic gymnastics! (:

[@yelenazerk]

1000%

[@SusanM3478]

Thanks for you video. Just last week, I started to get concerned when I saw my niece stretching and developing rather extreme hyperflexibility. But after seeing your video, I feel reassured. I like seeing flexibility and high extensions in ballerinas, but I think overly hyperextended lines don't look so good in classical ballets. I think Somova is great, but I think it is not necessary or better looking for her leg to be vertical and more diagonal angles are prettier.

[@Scandilady]

Mon Dieu, and I can't even touch my toes with straight knees...

[@teehitan]

Beautiful hip flexibility at the beginning.

[@potatohead4871]

Well that started with a bang... it scared that living crap out of me!

[@herrbrucvald6376]

it kinda surprises me that the set of ballet enthusiasts could have any overlap w/ the set of Perry-listeners....(can't stand KP and everything she represents.)

[@KizetteandTotoro]

I had to watch this on silent. What terrible choice of music!!!

[@dancerhew]

I completely agree

[@ssuigeneris]

operacute oh come off it

[@KizetteandTotoro]

Over extensions are so ugly... They completely spoil a beautiful line. I don't understand young dancers' obsession with performing this kind of ugly trick. Most dancers can do them... The real achievement is to apply restrain and strive for a beautiful line... After all, this isn't the circus...

[@oworosie931]

operacute I have to disagree, I think that most of the time it extends the line in a sweeping motion, like how you point your foot up instead of down in arabesque. However, over extension can be hazardous so I agree that it's not the best idea to strive for it.

[@CrazyAboutBallet]

@TheBalletDancers it's Alina Somova

[@cristinamazzolin8941]

At 1:10 she's doing some Italian fouéttes

[@Frankamaria]

balett at its best

[@sarahcourtney4074]

Frankamaria its ballet...

[@otakte]

yes, the music is shit.....But dancing is not about flexibility, there is a lot more than that!!!!

[@m.h2247]

otakte it’s true, but here they are showing their flexibility in particular

[@danceblogger17]

this is my stretching video :)))

[@dancer1179]

Thank you, that was beautiful.

I figured it out, but thanks anyway! :)

[@PrincessSakuno]

wow, the part where she's practising is ... kinda really scary :

[@Veronica_travel]

I really wanna see it

[@sallajansson7780]

***** the move is called Italian Fouette! :--) Nice video but why I didn't see Svetlana anywhere? :O

[@docfrank7745]

Because there's no Zakharova in this video. 99% Somova!

[@aliceinwonderland263aj5]

Amazing :O

[@urmomsmansion]

Crazy.....

[@FD02Ballet]

omg this is so scary they are all so flexible ;]

[@Veronica_travel]

Omg do u think u can upload it again?

[@zivatony23]

can you put training videos too?

[@21bluethunder]

@BaletAll Thanks!

[@theAnnafilms]

@TheBalletDancers alina somova

[@noachka]

@616Metalprincess616 (Cont.) However, having hyperextended joints doesn't guarantee flexible muscles. So if you are hyperextended your joints might be more flexible but you still have to stretch the muscles that connect the joints.

[@urianruch]

Song says...Supernatural XDDDDD

[@erikaaa6788]

The song tho

[@21bluethunder]

Like you video very much...can you tell me the name of the song and who's singing it...thanks!

[@CarliiCaarli]

who's the first ballerina in the video?

[@adelegb2286]

It is Natalia Osipova (you can see she in : U n an au Bolchoi (1, 2,3 ...)

[@fannyfanny4082]

The one at 2:44 is incredible. Can anyone help with a name? Thanks. What an inspiration.

[@savannahrose3546]

Fanny Fanny that would be Alina Somova in the Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty!

[@leahtrieu3223]

Who is the first ballerina shown?

[@adelegb2286]

Natalia Osipova ( you can see she in : Un an au Bolchoi (1,2,3 ...)

[@Roccarocks]

@kitkatgv1590 It's a variation fro Corsaire. I can't remember which one, but there's a famous video of Sylvie Guillem doing it.

[@andressalinas7373]

pero todo el video se lo dedicaron a alina somova

[@noachka]

@616Metalprincess616 Yes and no. If you have hypermobile (hyperextended fingers), chances are that the other joints in your body are hyperextended as well. Someone who is hyperextended will have joints that are "looser" and thus they tend to be more flexible -- or at least, it gives the line of the body a more extended look which can sometimes give the illusion of greater flexibility (think knee hyperextension, draw a line in the direction only the thigh goes in a developpe and you will see.)

[@noachka]

@616Metalprincess616 Which academy? I'm just curious :-)

[@LiaSakai]

Whats the name of the first choreography?

[@noobblet1996]

[@kitsunemisao1]

what is tha name of the variationfrom 1.10?

[@MegaMesozoic]

Sorry, but they look more like rhythmic gymnasts than ballerinas

[@Dane_Youssef]

Today's modern ballerinas actually do.... That's sort of what they are. Dancers in ballet--thanks to the vision of one George Balanchine--are more like acrobatic gymnasts nowadays. That's... modern ballet anyway. It's not about character, story and plot... and costume. It's... it's all about contortionist showboating. Well, change is a part of life...

[@meganmercer2733]

+Dane Youssef Are you talking modern ballet or classical? Biiiiig difference between the two. ;) Also, +Jane Aston, go watch a video of The Nutcracker.

[@MegaMesozoic]

+Megan Mercer I've seen many performances of the Nutcracker and apart from the Russian and Chinese dances in Act Two there was never any sign of someone putting their foot behind their head!

[@eddierouge2588]

i think it is partly because of the music thought!!!!

[@kendallvonm]

@616Metalprincess616 I don't think so; my fingers are extremely flexible however the rest of my body is not so gifted--I am definitely one of the least flexible ballerinas out there, although, I'm not good about stretching.

[@Mega4DS]

stop the video at 3:36.

[@julietaguzmangonzalez7974]

Carlos Quezada me dijo que solo fotografiaba a bailarinas profesionales, ahora se chinga , que tengo a mi amigo Guido para que me fotografie y es mil veces mejor que el

[@antonioalvarado6489]

Jolie, ligne magnifique et une facilité remarquable due à un travail permanent et méritoire de recherche d'amplitude; mais un manque évident de véritable style, interprétation distante et un certain laisser-aller. Dommage, peut mieux faire et devenir une "très grande".

Not only was the music just a poor, tasteless choice, but now Katy Perry is infecting my suggestions.😒✋

[@afiege]

"born wif it..."? Try training as hard as pos. to BaletAll: Ballet is allready the art. no need to lay modern music over such great art. The message vanishes. Its ignorance to do so. You have obviously never performed or have had a quality ballet lesson

[@MrCuddlyable3]

When you take away a ballerina's music, you cripple her artform. When you blot out the composition she is interpreting and replace it with mind-numbing synth pop, you insult everything she is doing. Video maker, you would have done better to keep silent up to 3:23.
