Kaptsova is the quintessential Masha - her Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is the benchmark. She is delicate, soft, playful, charming and virtuosic. The Grigorovich choreography proves to be the most musically and technically demanding. One wrong move, you get behind the music and the magic is lost. Kaptsova is among the few (the only other could only be Maximova perhaps) that has mastered this variation.

I agree Maximova is the only match.
@jillgoldman42264 жыл бұрын
Difficulty level of Bolshoi version is so much greater than the other versions. I prefer it, and like the Marinskiiy version least. I’ve never seen a better performance than Kapsova’s. She is a treasure.

I felt like they tried to make it so difficult that it doesn’t fit or feel in tune with the music. Sure she’s amazing to watch and I think she’s a beautiful dancer but the choreography doesn’t match the music because of all the stuff they crammed in there to make it difficult
@Yidenia2 жыл бұрын
@@allie.hartwell9489 I have always been bemused by the choreography for the Sugar Plum Fairy for this reason; the music always seems to be saying something different from the dancer, no matter if it's Balanchine, Bolshoi, etc. I almost feel like this piece just shouldn't be danced to, or maybe not as a solo, like it feels more appropriate to be something a dancer is reacting to (the scene around her, maybe twinkling within the trees or something), rather than something a dancer is expressing herself.

Nina Kaptsova's version is quite beautiful, I love how she flitters about with her feat just like how I imagine a fairy would, however, I feel like Maria Khoreva was much more in time with the music and still captured that flittering effect with her feat. Iana Selenko was very graceful and fluid, however, she didn't flitter about quite as well as the other to. I also much preferred the costuming during Maria Khoreva's performance.

Thank you for listing choreographers. Someone on another channel tried to tell us Iana's was as set by Ivanov and...no. A little unfair to include Mariinsky because they leave out nearly half of the music, but Khoreva actually makes what is there look like something---she's just light as a frothy confection (like maybe a sugar plum). Kaptsova is as always brilliant. Bunduballeria included this with Kysanova and Maximova doing the same variation; she and Maximova are small and fast and make the most of the choreography. Salenko is just sublime whatever she's doing. Her control and fluidity in just those opening pas marches is beautiful, and I think I would pay just to see her do barre exercises! Thank you for another interesting Christmas compilation!

Yes, I agree! Kaptsova's costume looks especially bad to me, which is a shame because she dances sooo well. I get that they were going for a minimalist look but it ended up looking cheep. The skirt especially is too thin and stiff, looks like a dinner plate. It's awkward instead of elegant.

Me personally, i love Khoreva’s choreography and interpretation, it really fits the music since it’s very close to how it was originally created. This dance its supposed to be light, delicate and graceful. I don’t really like how they made the other ones really difficult and they feel like they aren’t meant to be danced with that song. It really shows how more isn’t always better.

All three are beautiful ballerinas, and danced well, but for me it’s the choreography as much as anything. I found the third one to be ‘flat’, the end ‘twirl’ missing completely. The first one was better, but again the ending was tame compared to the middle one where she twirled her war around the stage at the end, so fast, yet so much in control.

I'd say it's kinda unfair to compare the three ladies because of the vastly different choreography. I personally do not think Khoreva is on the same level as the other two (haha Khoreva fans don't hate on me pls) - ugh, her bourree is so loud! I can hear her shoes hitting the floor!

@jessahartley471411 ай бұрын
I performed the Bolshoi choreo several years ago when I was still dancing full time, and it is most certainly the most difficult Sugar Plum variation! The Italian fouette combo in the middle, followed by a pirouette section, and then finishing with such fast pique turns make it brutal. It is beautiful, however, and although I did not dance it near as well as Kaptsova, I am proud of myself for being able to perform the Bolshoi choreo and make it look decent. I was only 16 at the time. Sometimes I rewatch my company's Nutcracker on DVD and think "Wow, how in the world did I manage to make it through that?" LOL. I miss my ballet days sometimes.
