Alexandra Ansanelli as Princess Aurora, Sleeping Beauty

[@insaelliott1318]

She has such a special quality. So musical and completely unaffected. I found myself watching her facial expressions at moments when I am usually looking at a ballerina's legs and feet because she is so expressive and authentic. I hope more videos of her dancing come to light. I respect her personal need to retire early but her art was and is a gift to all of us.

One of the most beautiful Aurora!

Beautiful!!!! Love her!

More twists and turns than a corkscrew--I love her! She makes these all--too--familiar steps seem fresh and spontaneous, as if she were improvising then on the spot.

Wait, we missed the ending of her variation! Did she do the double step up turn with arms in high fifth to finish, a la NYCB-style?

[@lacouerfairy]

Such a gifted dancer. I wonder why she quit so suddenly.

Anyone know what she is up to nowadays?
