Sylvie Guillem "Sublime Béjart" Béjart ballet shows off her legs, extension, arches. iMovie Made.

[@alecsia96]

No, just look at those legs! Aesthetic perfection, infinit lines, she really set the standard for those sky-high extensions and hyper arched feet we see today. And despite being so tall and extremely thin, she had gorgeous muscles like no other dancer at her time. Thank you Pam!

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

You are right, she is the first I remember seeing put her foot over her head with such ease, then calmly look up at it like "yeah, my foot's up there, no biggie" ...gorgeous ballerina! Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed.

[@KPAH100]

Please do not take offense at my thoughts. She at 11 years of age came to the ballet of sport! From the sport! In classical ballet, it is good. But...! In modern dance, Madame Guillem can see her athletic past. I think it's too heavy. Madam does not have the plasticity of the dance. This is a private opinion. I ask you not to be offended.

[@JohnDoe-lp2dz]

"In classical ballet it is good?" Sure? A lot of people don´t like that, definitely. A precursor or a dancing good behaviour disturbing? That´s the question.

[@nicolehourcade]

I agree for me the best French ballerina i saw for ever🩰🩰🎶🩰🥰

[@latsnojokelee6434]

She was originally a gymnast and there were some sort of exchange between the French gymnastic organization and the ballet company. It is pretty amazing that she was able to become so good in ballet in three years, But then again she had all that amazing gymnastics training.

[@annettefournier9655]

She is otherworldly. There will never be her like again.

[@bastianinicorelli]

Sylvie: THE ONE AND ONLY!

[@ccela1]

Absolument !!

[@ruthannap6446]

Every move she makes seems effortless and she seems like she's just playing. Very beautiful dancer.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

Well put. I, too, thought there seemed to be a playful nonchalantness to her performance. Thanks for watching RuthAnna. Have a happy day!

JE REVISAIS 1000 FOIS CETTE VIDÉO DE LA PERFECTION ABSOLUE ! DE BELLES LIGNES RENDENT LA CHORÉGRAPHIE ENCORE PLUS BELLE ! LES JAMBES KILOMÉTRIQUES N'ONT PAS DE FIN ! LE "MONSTRE DE LA DANSE CLASSIQUE" ! FANTASTIQUE ET BELLE SYLVIE GUILLEM.

She is absolutely amazing and flawless....How incredibly beautiful and humbling....

[@kaitlinallen1159]

I literally watch this video everyday because her lines, extensions, feet, everything is simply stunning

[@НаташаНежданова]

Elle est magnifique !!!

[@francinesicard464]

Wow! She is very young on this video and already in full command of her art which she'll perfect over the years, if that possible! An incredible amount of discipline and enormous work behind those apparent effortless moves! She is unique.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

Yes!!! So young, and with such control rarely found in someone so flexible and hyperextended. Those factors alone make it difficult for a seasoned ballerina to sometimes control herself, yet Sylvie is exquisitely in command of every fiber of her being.

[@francinesicard464]

A discipline acquired with an iron will to get to that level . She wasn't called by the Brits Mademoiselle Non for nothing, she knew what she wanted and how she wanted it. She even managed her career herself. An exceptionally gifted artist, a unique ballerina.

[@nicolehourcade]

I remember her in Bejarts choreography it was stunning

[@lburgess63]

Her body is like a silk ribbon in a warm breeze.

[@davidboyette4837]

never been to a ballet...Sylvie makes me wish for a time capsule to be able to see her LIVE ! savant🙏

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

Ditto!! Been to many, many ballets, but never Sylvie. I can only imagine what seeing her in real life must have been like. Magical!!

[@mariechristineracine3165]

Sylvie Gillem la ballerine absolue, unique, précieuse, boulversante, magique. La plus grande sans aucun doute.

[@mauriziopaggio6970]

La meilleure et plus belle du monde 😍😍😍😍

[@francinesicard464]

Oui, absolue et magique. Elle avait tout, une maîtrique incroyable de son corps magnifique, une technique éblouissante, une grace naturelle et une musicalité parfaite, sans oublier ses capacités physiques incroyables et ses interprétations des grands classiques et de la danse contemporaine. Lors d'une interview, elle disait qu'elle faisait usage de sa capacité d'extensions avec parcimonie. Elle a fait entre-temps des émules et je vois des ballerines talentueuses actuelles possédant une excellente technique mais en faire usage à tout bout de champ, si bien que le résultat ressemble plus à un exercice de cirque qu'autre chose.

[@ccela1]

Elle est fabuleuse et hypnotique

[@HK-yb6by]

Thank you Pam. A rare being......adore Sylvie. As she says about being a dancer 'it's who you are'. Osipova talked of wanting to know her partner's soul, and for me at least, that is what sets extraordinary dancers like Osipova, Maya, Sylvie, Sergei apart...... it's who they really are'..........they dance from the inside❤out ❤❤❤❤

[@nzn9370]

every moment of this video is absolutely beautiful.

[@evyrichard553]

Thank you for this treasure! I be been trying to find out those old shows that Maurice Béjard created for Sylvie for a while now. Am French and recall a few TV Documentaries on them. She has always been my favourite dancer, I started as a ballerina, then a gymnast. She went the opposite way, with so much talent. Thx again. I never subscribe to anything, but I will with you, am amazed for a while now with your beautiful testimonies. Keep them coming please 😁💚

Isn't she though?? I've been in love with her since first site. Delicate as spun glass, but with the strength and control of high tensile steel.

Ottimo senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante da questa ballerina che rende la performance di sensibile personalizzazione ed interiorizzazione con movenze e figuralita ' spesso inedite ed estremamente accattivanti.Superlativa. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

thanks for this video, it seems that you have changed the music, the original music is from Pierre Henry (and not his best one)

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

Thank you, I do love to "play" with the music. I find it fascinating how much different music can change the whole mood of a piece. To me it is a very interesting "experiment."

I just wanna know is it true this is a mix of ballet and gymnastics And dont worrh ill be here forever so if is 1 year still tell me pls

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

This form of dance is known as contemporary ballet. It is a mixture of classical ballet and modern dance, and yes, quite often can include some very gymnastic movements. Thanks for watching and for writing. I appreciate your interest. =)

[@pennyarmstrong8541]

This is pure dance.. Ballet. classically trained, pure talent, art, skill and training pure sylvie.x

[@latsnojokelee6434]

She trained for years as a gymnast before going into ballet, so yes you are seeing gymnastic moves here.

[@anthonyk7850]

@@latsnojokelee6434 hey thanks and I told u id be here forever lol

[@garmonia-77]

@@latsnojokelee6434, здесь балет, который использует хорошие физические данные танцовщицы, которые были от природы и ещё дополнительно развились на занятиях гимнастикой: её шикарную растяжку, гибкость, огромный роскошный подъем в стопах, плюс прекрасная балетная фигурка! Всё это требуется в балете при поступлении в хореографическое училище! Так что, это уже ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫЙ БАЛЕТ в звёздном исполнении!

[@pliplud1569]

Sarà anche Bejart, ma sta coreografia è un po' una schifezza

[@Portoinfinitivo]

Great dancer, but there's nothing 'sublime' about Béjart.

[@KPAH100]

Sylvie Guillem is a good ballerina. But! There are many Russian ballerinas much better than her in ballet. I remember the noise that the media created. Because it was our response to Russian. Better than the dancer we did not have then. I'm sorry, it's true.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

I love Sylvie, but if you'll notice, I've mostly featured Russian ballerinas in my videos. Vaganova is my favorite and the graduates over the last 10-15 years are just exquisite!

[@JohnDoe-lp2dz]

Good question, Mr. (or Miss) Prawda. Anyway, better the French response than the American one, on the basis of insubstantial Ballanchine´s ballerinas.

[@kaitlinallen1159]

She's more so a contemporary dancer. She does traditional as well, but she did a lot of contemporary work.

[@jmorg044]

polskie prawda there are no Russians that can stand with Sylvie. It boils down to preference .sylvie is the standard

[@pennyarmstrong8541]

swill bin to those who don't understand, are being bitter ,are unknowledgeable or just plain nasty, nobody can dance like Sylvie..x
