Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful clips of Kaptsova! I had never seen many of these, and appreciate the opportunity to see her unique portrayal in these classics. She is so versatile and captures so many diverse roles: ingenue, tragic, mature, ethereal, playful, humorous and more. What a gift this is to your viewers

[@TheBunduBallerina]

How beautifully said. Yes, I also notice how unique and diverse Kaptsova’s portrayal of roles is.

[@dancingbluecrane2813]

Kaptsova's unique style, which is full of charm, is a delight! Her ease in all technical challenges makes one forget their difficulty level! She is all fleet-footed dance with very graceful, yet unusual carriage of her arms and she tops it all with musical magnetism. Versatile, with a most endearing stage personality, she is an exceptional true artist of interpretation and she will remain a legend. Once seen, in whichever of these many roles, she is unforgettable. Thank you BunduBallerina this tribute is a treasure.

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

thanks for this video, Nina Kaptsova is such a unique ballerina, it is impossible not to recognize her at first sight, she got style of her own. She always looks like a teen ager, she is so light and daring. I love to see her dance. I think that she had some issues with the Bolchoï direction and her career was shortened, I don't know much about that but it is a shame .....

[@estellepatella2520]

The Russian dancers are by far, the most well trained and magnificent ballet dancers in the world. IMO

[@annettewilcox5413]

Yes, they have something special and so many from a very young age!

[@vittopo786]

This " special" thing about them is...the most generous state funding for ballet in the world. Children are trained from a young age, and enormous budgetary resources are spent. It would be surprising, even strange, if with such massive funding, they didn't produce something remarkable... Give American or Argentine ballet schools the same funding as in Russia, and believe me, they would show the world their "specialty."

[@АлександрЗаваров-е1ы]

​@@vittopo786Не показали бы, здесь русская душа нужна и великая школа Станиславского.

[@LarisaEv]

Большое спасибо за такую красоту! Нина Капцова изумительная балерина, сохранившая в зрелом возрасте юношескую грацию и свежесть. И одинаково прекрасна и в комедийных, и в драматических ролях. А воздушнее ее Маши в Щелкунчике, я никого не видела. Браво!

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Spasiba!

[@leilazerrouki7040]

Oh I love her ❤ she is unique, and a true artist. Her Lady of the Camellias is my favorite, I can't watch anyone else. There are many roles where I struggle to see anyone else -without comparing or wanting to rewatch her- after seeing her, or only a few people. Or if I prefer someone else (Like for Swan lake), she comes in close second. I don't have the words to describe Nina, she is so so great. What a nice tribute to her 😊

[@leilazerrouki7040]

oops I forgot KZbin will cross sentences if using "-"... sorry for that, in French we don't use those much so KZbin doesn't do that a lot usually for me, and I tend to forget.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thanks for your lovely comment. No worries about the line 😊

[@blh1294]

Thank you so much!! She is my favourite ballerina. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (a very awaited compilation ☺) She is perfect! She dances in a very elegant and delicate away... always amazing!!! She is my number one 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😍🥰😘

[@TheBunduBallerina]

You're welcome 😊

[@candidacarino669]

Dazzling speed for her 'Cupid Variation' Don Quixote dance. Most graceful and magical in the 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy'. She's refined, she's gorgeous and 'larger than life' when she dances Coppélia. We love 'Nina Kaptsova' ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ absolutely! Thanks for this lovely video @BB ❤ 😊.

[@dmswan3172]

Thank you for this gorgeous compilation of stunning and mesmerizing performances by Nina Kaptsova - she is sublime and one of a kind, I couldn’t take my eyes off her! I had not seen most of these dance excerpts before, so thank you for presenting them here!🌹🌹🌹🩰🩰🩰

With gratefulness for caught Nina Kaptsova : )) Brilliant !

[@elegiyamur]

Обожаю Нину. Особенно в Щелкунчике. После Максимовой она для меня на втором месте, и никто из современных балерин даже близко не приблизился.

[@cy9591]

OH MY GOD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

You are most welcome. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion 😊🙏💖

Simply perfect in every role.

[@nataliatroubnicova4253]

Великолепная, женственная и выдающиеся балерина. Верчение безупречное. Каждое движение кристально чисто выполнено. Очень понравился дуэт из Спартака с Иваном Васильевым.

[@НиколайКишин-ь8ы]

Восторг ! Глаз не оторвать. Спасибо.

Спасибо за подборку ролей великолепной Нины,ее не спутаешь ни с кем,она изумительна в каждом образе,но когда танцует на музыку Чайковского она божественна!

[@natalyagold]

Она прекрасна❤ Спасибо большое!

Spasiba!

лучше не сказать

[@annelafferty6888]

Love Nina. Have seen her dance Emeralds at the Bolshoi . My favourite ballets with Nina are Nutcracker and Esmeralda. No one better!

[@robertvirnig638]

It is strange how she is only a moderately attractive girl (IMO), but when she dances she is absolutely beautiful and exudes such charisma. I'm not even a ballet fan but I can't stop watching her.

[@iskander21024]

Блеск!!!

[@gGg-qz9ew]

Благодаря ютубу Капцова стала известна. Раньше о ней мало кто знал ((

[@clodomiro2]

A legend...!

Yes, indeed!

браво для капцовой нет ничего невозможного и все так легко так изящно

Is there no video of Nina as Bianca in Taming of the Shrew?

There might be
