Virtuoses des Tours en l'air - Master ballet technique

[@roymayh3819]

These are some serious bad-ass dancers, wow, fantastic in every way.

[@natashkk]

When Leonid is spinning, you can hear somebody saying "Xvatit, xvatit!" in Russian, which means "Enough, enough!"

[@patrick-df3cm]

bad meme

[@hannahmcswain9144]

Completely unrelated, but a ballet has entered the chat to compliment you on your tour en l’air towards the end. I was impressed.

[@minissa2009]

Did anyone else notice the ballerina doing fouettes in the second half of the vid? Kind of fun to see the iconic coda moves being done simultaneously! I had this weird perceptual shift with Sarafanov where I started to think he was animated rather than a real person. Amazing!

[@theGoodchoice4U]

Glad that you liked it. This was after a hour and a half class:) Don't forget to subscribe. Thanks

[@pammietan1]

Love the way Sarafanov fixes his hair first. Got to look good doing those tours!

[@verasantarelli4088]

Incredibile il virtuosismo di Leonid Sarafanov.....sembra volare e non sentire il rumore della ricaduta.... Fantastico!!!!!

[@queenofice3250]

Сарафанов!!!! Супертехничный, высокопрофессиональный танцор- всегда приятно на него смотреть и в очередной раз восхищаться его талантом !!! А натура Зеленского , даже в его позе " смотрящего", невооружённым глазом видна

[@pediatrapaola]

he was a magnificent dancer l saw live also here in italy in a couple of occasions with lopatkina and makhalina ,all them embodyed the essence of mariinsky

[@oldoperafan_in_London]

Sarafanov sticks his chewing gum or sweet onto the barre.

[@alainberlaty1394]

Leonide is my favorite male dancer!!!

[@katerinakat8133]

Absolutely. I was clapping just watching it here by myself.

[@johnsonz.5069]

I dont know which company you have been, but in most ballet companies, dancers cheer for something that spectacular

[@richardperkins2781]

It’s all about the dramatic ending!

[@carlosmonteiro7655]

Uau 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪😂 espetacular

[@MrNocco]

it's crazy that batalov can still do this... :O

[@juanjosefarina]

Even if Sarafanov did 11 double tours, he just stopped, Batalov is older, did 7 double tours en l'air, he continued with the music doing 5 tours en dehors and then again 3 double tours en l'air to end with the music. He won imo.

[@gabooper]

11 double tours wow!

[@Bnesque]

They should unleash Batalov on the stage!

[@veramentegina]

that was soooooooooo cool..

[@pomeneal4941]

Parabéns,

[@Fonseca429]

Amazing

[@luckyluke3619]

Ok now boys! Let's see it with entre-chat six while turning! And I don't mean in between but during the tour en l'air.

[@Stoqn8]

xahxahxah AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEe BRAVOOOOOO

[@VictorAmaru]

huy huy huy!!!!! monster!!!!!

[@Brunno948]

WOW ! tHANKS A LOT FOR UP;OADING!

[@jlushefski]

Does anyone know why, like with Batalov at the end, the passé leg is never turned out during the passé tour en l'air? I've watched slow motion for pretty much every top dancer, and it is always near parallel. Is this on purpose, or is turnout there simply unrealistically difficult? When I try myself, I find it is necessary to keep parallel; otherwise the body tilts excessively.

[@skykao1197]

This is not always the case, but it often ends up being that way because at such great speed the visual difference between a turned out passé and a parallel passé is very slight, and it's more stable to go to a parallel position.

[@jochanncholland5927]

Ever seen a triple saut de basque? Great dancers achieve turnout in the double, but in the triple it's impossible. Ivan Vasiliev f.ex.

[@luckyluke3619]

It all depends if you have a natural turn-out or not!

[@raulishnikov]

It's Siegfried variation from Black swan pas de deux (Maryiinsky version)

[@supertumaca1451]

👏👏👏👏

[@redshoesgirl]

who was the guy with the pony tail in the background?

[@crashvds777]

Rip my dance aspirations

[@natashkk]

[@pediatrapaola]

[@icarrus4u]

Stupid Igor standing in the waaaaay!

[@BmaGrl]

Leo did NOT take his gum out of his mouth & put it on the barre before he was up!

[@pediatrapaola]

woow

[@pediatrapaola]

in his prime was a strong technician ,today.....but was good

[@katerinakat8133]

hahaha, thank you. I guess you may never know ; )

[@MisterSareZ]

i can only do 3 in a row )=

[@raulishnikov]

Ciao, i know Igor was superb as a dancer (still is) altough he is around 44 i guess. But he wasn't the kind of dancer with multiple double tours in a row. Nor fast pirouettes. But he had 5-6 very slow, beautifully and clean pirouettes. Therefore he is not playing in this. LOL

[@raulishnikov]

he couldn't play with the big guys in this (I love Igor, but i don't think he can do more than two doubles in a row)

[@MakeyJu]

ahah Russians are the best at ballet :D не ожидала увидеть\услышать русских в видео с французским названием :D

[@kabardinka1]

Sarafanov is Ukrainian and Batalov is an Udmurt.

[@MakeyJu]

@@kabardinka1 Udmurts are Russian (in the "part of Russia" sense, we have 2 different words for Russian", didn't know about Sarafanov 👍 if someone speaks Russian we think of these people as ours by spirit anyway :)

[@dresdensvetik]

Variation aus Swan Lake
