sinto muita saudade de v.v. pois a vi crescer debtro do bnc, há 10 anos não a vejo, agora fico so atraves deste site maravilhoso desfrutando das joias preciosas que cuba tem dado ao MUNDO! BRAVO A TODAS...
She is just what ballet should be!!! Guess this is some older recording, but I saw her in the same ballet from 2007 and I just couldn't believe my eyes. She made me think that maybe ballet CAN be more then just some astonishing technique (that these days it is) ...but it can be dance in it's wonderful form...giving out your soul,passion,love, to the audience. Bravo!!! :)
She's actually almost DULL at the beginning of her variation, but the passage with the echappes is heavenly, very light and dancerly, and the sequence of toe hops with pas de chevals is delicate and delicious; this is NOT what I was led to expect from her dancing, with gross effects of balance like Toumanova at her worst -- I could find it in my heart to love her, to respect of course her natural gifts of strength but also her sweet temper and youthful generosity.
Por cierto, si no lo saben, Viengsay acaba de ser invitada a bailar Don Quijote al Mariinsky junto a Leonid Sarafanov. Despues de Alicia Alonso ella es la otra cubana que baila con una compañia rusa. Vamos que es una diva.
There is nothing wrong with her shoulders. That's part of the Cuban School of Dance. There are different schools or styles in classical ballet: the Russian, the American, the English, etc. Cuban style of dancing gives a special emphasis to shoulders and hips, among other things. Remember Cuba is the land of rumba, conga, and so on. This way of dancing is part of Cuban idiosincrasy. Many great dancers in the world go to Cuba to take master classes and learn about the Cuban technique.
@amapons That is how the costume is supposed to look, genius. Number two. I feel like she doesn't need a fan, she's in Cuba for christ's sake and maybe that's the way the choreographer wanted it
not elastic or plastic....which the ballet world wants all ballerinas to be....she has some weight and that is healthy! oh, so healthy...the girl can eat some arroz con pollo and some great cuban arroz y abichuela! Finally! She can act and she can work those points shoes! OLE!!!
The orchestra played the music in a much smoother legato than we usually hear. That really diminished the sense of energy that is usually present in other performances.
viengsay no es la típica Kitri rusa que parece que se ve a salir del escenario de tantos impulsos. aunque esta no es su mejor actuación la he visto en muchas y es brillante. ella es una kitri comedida y madura, no la chiquilla malcriada que los rusos quieren aparentar y que todo el mundo a copiado.principalmente los americanos robatalentos por excelencia.

She doesn't need a fan to be stunning!!

She is very amazing!!! But where is her fan?
@sayitinrussian So true. People who think this is a great ballerina have obviously never seen Osipova or Vishneva.

Sorry, you are right about the schools. My mistake.

she also ignores the music. i find she does this often.

Nice almost-fall at the end of the fouettes. AGAIN. Why do people think this mediocre beast is so good?
She is really really good, but she does something funny with her shoulders that makes her look weird.
this is the slowest that i have ever seen this performed and the energy is just gone. totally flat and even boring.
God, she's so slow and clumsy. In "Bolshoi'' even corps de ballet can give a better performance. Try Natalia Osipova.
