Natalia Osipova: Confessions of a Ballet Star

[@sofias5674]

"I can't today but I can tomorrow" ❤

[@martaivarscarbo2001]

So true

[@cat56789]

I love that message ❤

[@GabrielH-W]

I use that quote now whenever I’m frustrated when I practice something. ❤️

[@Yuki_hisa]

I read it the same time she said.. wow

[@Rhi-fn3hu]

One of my new favorite quotes

[@sfiabong7360]

I’m surprise that she’s shy, when I see her dance she gives an aura of strong confidence

[@DavidLeBlanc]

That was my impression. She seems fearless the way she attacks a role, her confidence. Her Kitri variations are wonderful. Never would have guessed she was shy.

[@mizofan]

Yes, such bravura and panache.

[@ewwmorons]

People who are in their element often are

[@harrietbrown6415]

In Coppelia, she looked almost cocky 😀

[@evacampbell8634]

I love how she still looks healthy (not scary thin) and is still considered one of the best ballet dancers in the world

[@luisabritoleite850]

The best dancers are thin but have muscles

[@arwengarraway9143]

@@luisabritoleite850 they are lean

[@arwengarraway9143]

Because she wouldn't be able to sustain what she loves if her body was suffering

[@ewwmorons]

Yeah she actually even have muscles

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

You can tell how strong she is by her amazing jumps and speed of turns. When I was young I did rhythmic gymnastics and suffered from an eating disorder for a period of time, and the first thing I lost was my jump and stamina. Natalia is so energetic, she has the energy of a child or a squirrel 😊

[@icarrus4u]

Never heard her speak English before, I like her personality! Artist indeed!

[@avesraggiana]

Her English is hugely improved. Kudos to Osipova for adjusting so well to life in London, and the United Kingdom.

[@GiyongAhn]

Everyone knows that she is the biggest ballet star but she just does her things. Very inspiring.

[@arianecarmelin]

She´s amazing on stage, it´s very impressive how simple she looks, living very modestly aparently, and appreciating the simple and important things in life. Love her even more.

[@mairefrances]

So adorable but so powerful on stage

[@aisha-gd2ky]

I love how she is promoting being an honestly nice human, who simply is grateful for what they do and enjoy it. I appreciate how healthy she looks also - she used to be so thin, now she looks so much stronger and healthy 💞

[@Caroline-jt6ez]

I also noticed the healthy weight gain-she was so thin and frail in the Giselle recording, but looks healthier now. If you go back and see some of her Bolshoi era videos she was also very stick-like and I wonder if they forced her into an unhealthy body image or an eating disorder-not surprising considering that they monitor weight and food intake in Russia. I hope she feels brave enough someday to tell her body image story.

[@muzukiko3003]

Beautiful Natalia! She has so much passion and acting while on stage. Her character on stage is what a real dancer should look like. Someone who knows the storyline to the ballet and sends that fiery passion out onto stage. Natalia IS that dancer. She is the dancer of the world. Bravo Natalia!

[@stevie8763]

And now speaking English beautifully !!!!!!

[@ЕкатеринаАкатьева-б8б]

Stevie I love her dancing, but her English is awful for somebody living in the UK...

[@victorialisa_]

I can understand her just fine...

[@grobanite4ever85]

@@ЕкатеринаАкатьева-б8б I can understand her perfectly!

[@floatingbob_4427]

Accent is just not important, I can understand what she said very clearly

[@tamispirina]

Екатерина Акатьева только русский это мог написать

[@Lowdermoomoo]

She comes off as so sweet and nurturing 😭🥺 she is so right i would’ve never thought her to be shy!

[@steemdup]

Brava! I gotta see her dance before she retires. On my must-do list. Thank you, Ms Osipova.

[@Ohana1-l4y]

The “I can’t today but I will can tomorrow” actually was exactly what I needed. Thank you Natalia, you’re so inspiring and the greatest dancer I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t have thought you were shy, after watching you dance, enjoying yourself so expressively or acting just amazing. But I understand it. I criticize myself the worst. If any celebrity deserves the place on my phone-Lock Screen, it’s definitely you (I hope that doesn’t sound weird 😅). Hope I’ll once get the chance to see you life on stage ❤️

[@gabriellareyes1880]

My favorite ballerina! ❤️

[@ericaknox2715]

How real and human she seems in this little video! It made me cry, I’m not sure why. Lovely.

[@hidayatosman4786]

One of the best in the world

[@sophiemurphy7602]

Natalia- you're amazing! A beautiful dancer and an inspiration for many of us all around the world. Thank you for being amazing!!

[@AnneD-i6f]

Considering her level of English when she arrived at the ROH ballet in London she has improved so much! We love seeing her here !!!!

[@head_in_the_clouds]

I admire her and her dancing so much. Her interpretation of dance touches me deeply. Her technique is impeccable but that special something she has comes deep from within her soul. You either have that or you don't. One can't learn that.

[@vlove562]

She hardly needs shoes, her feet are so so strong!

[@tindepapp]

She is so disciplined and professional. So hard worker. I just adore her.

[@paulineiv878]

So Inspirational!💖Osipova not only is adoring but she's my role model such a strong dancer sweet girl yet human like all of us behind the scenes Bravo!!😄

[@TVY2013]

Wonderful to get a glimpse into the lives of individual ballet stars.

[@kohei8061]

I love her so much

[@chloemcqueen910]

I cried when i saw ur Giselle, i have so much respect for you and for the whole part of the show.

[@mikegarcia7986]

Her interpretation of "The dying Swan" is absolutely gorgeous...She IS that swan

[@JanetteHeffernan]

Lovely! Her shoes always look so floppy and her feet so strong I sometimes wonder if she needs them.

[@jovanringen1943]

They do indeed - her shoes I mean. Such a wonderful dancer and such a thoroughly sweet girl!

[@ritawing1064]

There's a Royal Opera video just gone up where you can see - around minute 3, why the shoes always look so strange!..Sorry , it's under "Royal Ballet, Natalia Osipova warm up" on youtube

[@benjaminperalta7700]

She is beautiful ❤

[@natalisvetozar3548]

Великая!!! Великая! Актриса! Танцовщица! Гениальная Наталья!

[@clearpill]

The greatest dancer to hit the stage since Sylvie Guillem (in my opionn). Natalia, you are a gift to the world.

[@autumnnite1803]

I have booked to see her next year in Swan Lake at ROH because I have to see her live even if it's just once in my life. She is wonderful and seems very sweet and down to earth.

[@nathanielcraig3588]

Hmm, now I wonder if she her shoes always look so worn out because she's refused to prepare new ones for years haha

[@chikarashii]

Nathaniel Craig maybe she only prepares one pair of shoes a week or more but certainly not years

[@watermelon520b]

Alicia Heyer i think Nathaniel was just making a light joke. 🐱

[@chikarashii]

Hazelnut, Queen of Hell oh ok sorry

[@jennaheaney1255]

Wait why am I crying HAHAHAHA. She’s such a sweet and genuine person and so so talented and I want to be exactly like her when I grow up

[@lindaharrison3240]

That was so lovely. I heard a long time ago that she is actually a natural blonde, but she dyes her hair black in homage to Margot Fonteyn. I wonder if this is true?

[@Didi_Online]

Interestingly Osipova, David Hallberg and Margot Fonteyn were all born on the same day.

[@kabardinka1]

No, she has naturally dark brown hair.

[@fahriyedemir5495]

Yes, she has said before that she had blonde hair as a child and dyes it dark brown.

[@ЛюшаЛелюша]

Yes, this is true. Shi is a natural blonde.

[@vivienekim]

My ballet teacher once told us that she started to dye her naturally lighter hair dark, because it creates the best contrast on stage. She was told starting her carrier her hair colour was too close to her skin colour and from far away it would look like she had no hair. I wonder if it's a common advice.

[@anadikundu1508]

She was perhaps the best actress.

[@yael77995533]

Loved this interview! I love to listen to music too!!!

[@jaroslavatiscenko4464]

She is the best !!!❤️

[@joan9569]

Lovely interview. Lovely lady. Sounds like life is on-track again. Happy for her.

[@MikeBanks2003]

Once in a generation we used to see a dancer like Natalya, but in this generation there have been many great ballerinas. Natalya's performance is for me the one standard of excellence by which all others are compared.

[@danceconsortium]

So inspiring to see someone so passionate about what they do

[@likebarbarabush7035]

I like her so much She is one of the greatest ballet dancers And I think she tries to tell audience some stories in her performance So I like her performances

[@mayacanestaro157]

I love her :) wish the interview was longer!

You obviously haven't heard English from London's East End or Workington and many other placed in the UK. Her English speaking is comparatively like music to the ears..

"I can't today, but I can tomorrow," Natalia Osipova. Never lose hope....you may not jump as high as she does, a few inches on the floor will do. Keep jumping and one day, you probably will too.
