Natalia Osipova rehearses Anastasia (The Royal Ballet)

[@pinkwings8036]

She looks so thin and lithe from a distance, but up close you can see every muscle! That amount of effort and conditioning really shows.

[@Shamariah2011]

Pink Wings she is incredibly unique which is why we want to watch her we feel sorry for her in a way

[@Shamariah2011]

She is an incredible character dancer

[@tiltawhorled]

Her arms wiggle because she’s dehydrated. You can she she’s been suffering from dis spirit. And she’s stretching her feet because she’s cramping and she needs zinc and water. But they’re making fun of her. This is disgusting but it’s the dance world.

[@thewayiam203]

@@tiltawhorled oh really she told you all that?

[@maicolacostalemos]

i wanna see a full ballet class with osipova.... must be so incrediblee

[@laurenh8866]

I watched a recording of her in Giselle, and it was amazing!

[@NataliaCatrufo]

Me too! It would be so inspiring

[@beth7437]

When I was young back in the dark ages the only ballet I could watch was the occasional PBS show or by looking at Dance Magazine. You youngsters have no idea what a privilege it is to view these videos. Thank you Royal Ballet.

[@zorahb.6240]

Her movements are captivatingly beautiful - They seem so effordless and free! I´m truly stunned, how she carries those emotions. Damn, I love these rehearsals!

[@icarrus4u]

She will be FANTASTIC in this role! So excited to see it in cinema's.

[@teerex893]

Wow, she is poetry.

[@urcutejeans-]

could not have said it better

[@lynnsimpson6467]

She takes direction really well - what a team and no ego

[@TheDersertAir]

Amazing really. The coaches are so annoying - especially the man - and trivialising

[@jonrandallspradley]

Great talents can be directed. Lesser talents not so much, if at all. She's a great one.

[@carmen9330]

She`s just so beautiful...and pure emotions when dancing..Love!!

[@heyryanisonx3141]

During her bows, you can see her struggling to recover her sanity from this performance. Talk about dedication! No better Anastasia than Natalia

[@SelinaSYC]

I don't know how to dance, but I can feel how beautiful it is. This is amazing.

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

Natalia Osipova is a true marvel. I love her.

[@vintilabogdan8515]

Best ballerina ever! Lot of hard work! Have no words to describe Her talent!

[@SamsungJ-tb4gd]

Yes 👌

[@kensong64]

having see the ballet it was wonderful to se how she discovered the moves, especially the highly passionate, emotional ones. Brilliant Osipova. Wonderful Royal Ballet.

[@msgail7905]

Amazing to watch the process. Osipova is beautiful. Excited to see this ballet.

[@petitluna2571]

She’s not just a ballerina, she’s an actress!!

[@williamgabriel2286]

So good! The rapport between the camera crew and the magnificent Osipova helps me appreciate the art of dance so much more. (I don't think the body cam adds much, though.)

[@annahasty7191]

She's Stunning.😀

[@annapaolamilito285]

Very expressive , such an elegance .

[@65NART]

It is wonderful to see former Prima Ballerina Viviana Durante. Viviana was/is my favourite. Which a fabulous dancer. Is she doing more work with the Royal Ballet now.

[@astridlasso9135]

Natalia Osipova nació de la música, la danza y el Arte dramático.

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

Magnificent Osipova!!!! Dynamic, articulate, brainy!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@elenaahumada9842]

mi gran bailarina Natalia; talentosa versátil y hermosa👏👏👏👏👏

[@MissSunflower242]

In the same way Marianela was born to play Kitri in Don Q, Natalia was born to perform Anastasia. Absolutely brilliant! Do I have to move to England to see this masterpiece?! 😄

[@marionbayley1351]

It’s available on dvd! The whole thing is utterly breathtaking & shatteringly sad. This is an amazing performance!

[@Tqolad1]

This is so beautifully performed and intense, I always wonder how does Natalia cope with all the direction being in English, because if English wasn't my first language I think I would find it so difficult ?

[@Becca_H85]

English is actually easy to learn. Especially if your motherlanguage has such a complex grammar. ;-)

[@ElisePerformances]

Actually her English isn't very good. In English interviews she prefers to speak Russian and have a translator.

[@lisar9425]

Hate to bang on, but I liked these rehearsal videos better before they were all with the crane and the close ups. It obscures the movement and belittles the rehearsal process, the connection between the accompanist, the coaches, the dancer. That PROCESS was the real treat, the WORK, the work lights, the rehearsal room, the exploration, the MOVEMENT. The more you move the camera, the less you see the dancers and the choreography. It makes me feel sad, truth be told. I do wish you would return to a more workmanlike, raw presentation.

[@Cosmic-Mind]

She is amazing! I love seeing her facial expressions and how she reacts to the music💓 also like the GoPro camera.

[@carolinatavera07]

Natalia is Amazing! great performer and dancer, that role was made for her1 PS.: first comment!! :O

[@gabrielleurbina7020]

Carolina Tavera I'd hesitate to say it was made for her because she is insane lol

[@ИринаТрубицина-ж8щ]

Для Королевского балета Осипова огромный подарок

[@adeline3068]

I am just speechless. She is amazing

[@nikz000]

Love Her❤️😱

[@lindaharrison3240]

So nice to see Viviana Durante back in the RB studios.

[@karinajansson8431]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful rehearsel with my favorit female dancer.

[@ylem19867]

She is true artist

[@NaomiVolturi]

Osipova 😍😍😍😍

[@mefloquine]

She is amazing !✨

[@hannahlindsay3834]

she is incredible and i can't wait to see this beautiful ballet!:)

[@SaraEllaSpector]

🙏🏻

[@arcitejack]

ROH please make this video again and make it 6 hours long.

[@miadjojowasitomalik]

I want to see this so much!!!!! 😭😭😭

[@HelenJoannides]

My God, Viviana Durante is teaching. What a dream this artist... And Kenneth Mc Millan ... genius too.

[@oworosie931]

She and Sergei Polunin are the king and queen of ballet

[@mariaswardt5909]

They are indeed. Unfortunately, they don't dance together anymore.

[@棣棠-u6p]

When Natalia was still in Bolshoi, she and Ivan Vasliev were a great pair

[@barbaralemere1852]

She will be amazing in this role.

[@marcuswilliams9837]

Natalia exists beyond words

[@candywu828]

coming to see it on 29th premier!

[@ludmilag2692]

Великолепная Осипова , в которой переизбыток женской и мужской энергии ! Osipova is unique .there is a surplus of male and female anergy .Great Osipova !!! Bravissimo!

[@simonaperez1475]

Наталья лучшая балерина в мире, она одна на олимпе балетного искусства. Мне так жаль, и я плачу, что она не танцует в России. Это сокровище, мы его потеряли , как потеряли много сокровищ, которые правдами и неправдами остались в Лондоне.

[@Shamariah2011]

What amazing coaches.

[@Mastershaley]

Anybody find it a bit odd that Darcey & Gethin are in this video together? You know, since she's worked with & is best friends with his ex fiancée Katherine Jenkins whom is now married with a child. I respect that they are able to work together despite the differences in their relationships towards / with Kath I just feel that the reason they acted so oddly with each other might because of that.

[@jonrandallspradley]

Wonderful

[@itamarbar9580]

Is the heartbeat solo electronic in the score? Right hand of the piano is martinu and the left is electronic. That's how it feels like

[@s02229]

why do they call her Natasha :o I love her so much. wish i could meet her in person. i'd better start saving for a London trip just o see her lol. and this Ballet is so intense, it's more like physical theatre than dancing to me

[@mitzypinks1338]

My name is Natasha. And it's the proper Russian name. I had a Russian friend at school who was called Natalia but she preferred to be called Natasha.

[@tutus4life]

it's kind of like a nickname :)

[@roastedpepper]

Most Russian names have a diminutive version that isn’t as formal as the full name. So natasha is the diminutive of natalia. Sasha is the diminutive of Alexander/Alexandra etc etc. Which version you use to call the person depends on level of familiarity (friends, acquaintances, strangers) and authority. So your elders you never call by the diminutive but by their full name (and a patronymic).

[@bellejacinto7632]

That muscle build though.

[@adeline3068]

Stunning!

[@Shamariah2011]

She’s testing her sanity in her performance

[@shartrezlittle8952]

wow

[@brendadufaur37]

Anastasia was murdered with her family. The false story that she survived is tiresome. Of course Osipova is incredible.

[@sheenee2192]

Viviana is here O.o

[@cartoonb9869]

SHE IS FUCKING PERFECT !!!!

[@sheenee2192]

Watch them all teach her the entire chorea and then watch her drastically go off script on stage. lol.

[@eve4006]

アナスタシアバレエにもなってたんだ…！

[@ymichelle3263]

[@anononi6387]

ballet ya lombok love nama kala

[@mariajoselara266]

08:06

[@tiltawhorled]

This actually looks like a horse jumping over hurdles with a man standing on the side

[@tiltawhorled]

What would be most interesting is if everybody in this production got to spend a little time in the asylum and then it would be much more realistic.

[@heide9755]

Natalja is truly outstanding gut she is much too skinny....

[@tiltawhorled]

The last social restraint that was attempted was harnessing women with an unrealistic idea of beauty that kept them from giving birth and strip them of self-confidence resulting in eating disorders.Thankfully the next generation was taught to love their body but it still may be latent in society as an unaddressed social issue.

[@Надежда-к7г9ы]

Не нравится мне такая хореография, это поперёк русского характера. Пора Наташе самой становиться хореографом.

[@tiltawhorled]

More looser. I didn’t graduate him. And my only socially acceptable occupation besides the nurse would be teacher. Even in today’s society

[@mickeymorgan]

Divine lines, but dear Natalia, you are not FOCUSED. You cannot be a shell of this being. You began so fast, took no time to fall into yourself, your deepest self. And, yes, it is just a rehearsal, but that moment of you looking at the camera gave away that you were not really present to yourself. Authentic being doesn't come from class, it comes from our inner work, for which we are each responsible. Your directors may feel it is all fine, but I would stop, and tell you it was unacceptable, and why, and how to make it real. Embodied. Were you embodied by this woman you depicted? If not, you musn't go on stage until you become her, alone.

[@Xbxxd12256]

Maybe she's just not used to being on camera? It's not every day that her rehearsals are being filmed and when a camera is right in front of your face you can't help but look into it.

[@棣棠-u6p]

Osipova😍😍😍
