Yasmine just gets better and better, WOW. And I can't believe she's even more divine as Giselle, than she is as Juliet. Stunning! I would bawl like a baby, if I saw her betrayed in the way that Giselle is, in the storyline. 😥😍 Sometimes, I wish we could 'Disney-fy' these storylines! Too sad, but SO good. 😅

[@estperfumes]

don't disneyify....they are evil

[@brandonstinson4988]

The sadness makes it better.

[@lanelmuhammad]

Lovely comment although I prefer her much more as Juliet. Her Juliet is just beyond!

[@pinkapoppy]

i’ve rewatched this 5 times now, she’s so graceful and her technique is so spot on, she seems so incredibly strong but pulls off an amazing lightweighted look!

[@sophieistiredandwantscooki8806]

I suspect Yasmine is going to be the next big thing at RB after Nela, and rightfully so, she’s stunning! I thought her Juliet was one of the best I’d seen, but I actually like her Giselle even more!

[@alassante]

I was thinking the exact same thinking watching the video. What a beautiful ballerina Yasmine is!

[@lynnbraben76]

This was the best (full version) of Giselle I've ever seen. Yasmine Naghdi and Matthew Ball were superb. The emotion they conveyed - from being in love, to his betrayal - was palpable. They were brilliant in Ro + Ju also. A fine partnership

[@janeelizabeth3420]

Really hoping they decide to release this on Dvd - Yasmine, Matthew and Marianela, just perfect! ❤️

[@hebcohen]

Such an original and expressive interpretation and perfect technique. Amazing. Darcy bussell must be proud of you!

[@pinkapoppy]

so proud to have met her as she went to the same dance school as my ballet teacher ! not only is she amazingly talented but such a lovely and kind person too

[@bubbybets9336]

what dance school did your teacher go to?

[@KG-tu1tz]

OMG, that was probably the cleanest version of this variation I've ever seen! Bravissima!

[@premadonna]

This is the most perfect solo I have ever seen ❤

[@ai51inn]

What a joy! Yasmine Naghdi's Giselle is beautiful, technique is perfect, and now I'm looking forward to seeing the whole ballet.

[@joyanngoddard2033]

Fabulous and light and joyful with such solid control of all the difficult moments technically.

[@maiablack5520]

Manège was flawless! She turns so quickly and I love it!

[@mrsspanner14]

Absolutely exquisite. Naghdi is a joy to watch; her arms and hands are perfection. I loved this whole cast.

[@EJ-joy]

I was watching videos, looking for a variation to do and this blew my mind❤

[@May_003]

oh my goodness those speedy turn outs at the end were magical. it takes a lot of practice and strength to not fall or get dizzy really quickly.

[@maju_matricardi]

Yasmine is just so incredibly amazing. I love her potrayal of Giselle ❤️❤️

[@dancerlee6356]

야스민...정말 사랑스러운 발레리나예요^^*아름답고 사랑스런표현이 인상적이였어요~^^*

[@SvenScken]

I can't get enough of this ♥

[@cat56789]

The first video I ever watched of the Royal ballet Yasmine dance was her and Matthew ball doing the Romeo and Juliet bedroom pas deux after that I’ve become such a huge fan of her, this company, and just ballet as a whole. And now seeing her as Giselle she is magnificent I’m so happy for her. Go Yasmine. Go Royal ballet 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊👏👏👏

[@3hm5]

1:35 that spin is crazzzzyyyy!

[@karissakazim5931]

Frrrrr

[@Ms.SimoneGabrielle]

Her movements are saturated in original interpretation, yet garnished with impeccable technique - all very difficult to do with one of the most landmark and popular ballets in the world. Bravo.

[@astire007]

Fabulous , what beautiful technique and artistry x

[@lynnbraben76]

She looks very like Viviana Durante, I think. She was a fab Giselle too

[@ellavoslinsky_flute]

Incredibly gorgeous!!! Brava!!!

[@andrealopez11990]

her menage was so o fast!! it was amazing

[@The444traveler]

[@vassilisworld]

❤️❤️❤️ she is a lovely dancer

[@KaylaM13]

JUST WOW! ❤

[@AmusedChild]

Wow, I have found another favorite ballerina!

[@grumpyoutdoors]

Yasmine has got the same lightness as Osipova in this. Lovely

[@leilaruthe2]

She did spectacularly, and it’s really cool to see a middle eastern dancer, as I’ve never seen one before and I’m 1/4 Persian 🥰

[@josieteemilia3244]

Maravilhosa! Perfeita! Amo Yasmine! 👏👏🇧🇷

[@Utsumin]

Pretty and Beautiful

[@theresastevenson5934]

Sheer pleasure to watch...so smooth and graceful

[@alyssiaschiess]

[@reemsuekar8112]

[@rehinrehin9686]

Giselle's life was really beautiful before Albrecht came 😊. Very beautiful dancing 🎉

[@BeaH751]

Beautiful 😍

[@Sandrah326]

Graciosa!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻

[@hunnoatila]

Uma bailarina vibrante que encaixa sua interpretação, bem peculiar, a esse solo muito consagrado!!! =)

[@jsl1952]

Brava!

[@DPS1194]

I remember this choreography! It was when Kristyn as Giselle and her friend, Hailey were magically teleported to a magical world of ballet in the Barbie movie, "The Pink Shoes"!

[@q73.e]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🌹🌹😘😘Wow that beautiful dance

[@dntysryp7787]

Wow, It feels like I'm one of the York's/Tudor's princesses in a banquet

[@janeelizabeth3420]

❤️❤️❤️

[@minissa2009]

She has such control on those opening arabesques. I noticed Nela just does pique arabesque with no penchee and wondered if they had just changed the choreography. Ballerina's choice maybe?

[@weirdass_elii6248]

My dream is to become professional ballerina but it’s to late for me to become a professional. I love it with all my passion and when I hear music and dance I tear up and dream that I will be on stage making people smile and make those little girls and boys dream of it too. But it breaks my heart each time I look at myself and see no potential. I hope you don’t feel the same and pursue your dreams and goals. ❤️❤️❤️

[@gonefishing167]

Beautiful 👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

If I may ask? What is the orchestras name, thank you!

[@avesraggiana]

I believe it's the Royal Opera House Orchestra. They play for both the ballet and the opera.

What is name song

[@thaisgregorio2734]

Does anyone know why The Royal Ballet doesn't put their principal dancers who play Giselle in the traditional blue costume? I feel they don't stand out enough in these brown/beige costumes

[@meowool]

It's probably the choice of that costume designer when they initially staged Giselle

[@pinkapoppy]

i think it’s just up to the producer; personally i find the beige/brown dresses more accurate for her character and storyline (plus i think they’re really pretty but that’s just because i really love beige-brown tones)

[@barborasolanska3997]

I actually like the blue one too, but I think the designer wanted a very earthy look for the first act, to contrast the mystical otherworldly second. And although I see that the blue dress makes Giselle distinguishable and a bit apart from other people, it is probably more accurate she dresses the same way as others in the village. And is distinguishable be her character, the way she sees the world. I like both and I see were they come from. It’s wonderful to see different perspectives and takes

You all should see Natalia Osipova as Giselle

[@JenniferThomas-i2j]

[@reginacastillo7356]

her giselle was beautiful but i will always and forever love natalia osipova’s giselle

[@ksenehcka]

Нет... не Уланова...

[@Meowmeowfart]

If only I tried hard enough, I could’ve been holding a stuffed falcon in the back

[@strangenoise-mt2zf]

У нас девушку с такой техникой не взяли бы в труппу, ни в один из театров страны. Без обид.😅🇷🇺

[@Наталия-б6о4х]

Прекрасно все....!!! Но, все-таки, Жизель,-Осипова , и все тут!!!

[@williamdeng1870]

Yasmin has a strong talent for characterization and emotional expression. She dances gracefully and is an excellent ballerina. It seems that Russian ballerinas look more slimmer, maybe they have very strict diet and weight control.

[@chereknalorn]

Why does weight need to be mentioned?

[@lilyl6994]

Sorry, but nothing will top Osipova’s Giselle.

[@pinkapoppy]

true; she just so perfectly portrays the character with so much emotion, it’s amazing

[@ThuyLe-jy2me]

Osipova is overrated as Giselle imo. But to each of their own
