Analysing Dulcinea Variation | Don Quixote | Vaganova/Mariinsky Version
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2022
- New series incoming! I wanted to start analysing variations from a technique and artisitry point of view. This what I would do if I was coaching a student of mine. I thought it would be interesting to see what I see and what can be improved on.
Today we are looking at myself dancing the Dulcinea variation from Don Q dream scene.
I love this variation as it has all difficult things in it!
Hops, turns, adage, jumps!
Let's take a look and learn how we can improve it.

Enjoy!

About Me
Hello everyone! my names Isabella.
I am the first British graduate of the Vaganova ballet academy in Saint Petersburg Russia. I was a soloist working with the Mikhailovsky Ballet and Eifman ballet.
Now I live in London as a full time coach
Here, on my channel I am sharing my passion with you all about the Vaganova technique amongst many other things related to ballet we all love.
It's a hard industry so I am here to help with my insights and knowledge to make it a little easier for you all, as well as to hopefully entertain you with my content.
Thank you for watching!
I would be interested in a series, where you break down dance routines by different professional dancers. There are all these little differences and nuances that different dancers bring to the stage or rehearsal to make it work for their body and limitations or to challenge themselves. There'se so much to learn and I never grow tired of all the different combinations or nuances you can put together to one and the same movement. Hope you understand a bit what I mean 😄 Thanks for keeping us entertained and thanks for educating us on all the little details to think about when executing a certain movement. ☺️🙏
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it too 🙂
Thanks so much especially for the tips on hops... I have very flexible ankles and archy feet. Always struggled at it. Teachers often take one look at my feet and just say OK that's not for hops. So seeing you who is so flexible and with such archy feet doing it so well really gives me hope 😭😭😭❤️
You are so welcome!
can't wait, I love your videos!!
Glad you like them!
Very interesting and useful too. Thank you.
This is so incredibly helpful for me as I am just starting out as an adult ballerina! I also really appreciate you taking the time at the end to talk about why it is important to revisit work and why you are critiquing a good performance. As a novice, I never would have picked up on your corrections, but that level of detail is what I love about ballet. Wonderful dancing and commentary! :)
Beautiful 😻
This was such an interesting video! Please make it into a series :)
That's the plan!
LOVE THIS! Absolutely hoping you do many more of these!
More to come!
Loved this video ! You are so truthful and sincere . I am really enjoying your channel , thank you 🙏
Thank you so much!
I thought it was lovely,thank you 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Interesting 💜
same thing here about my mom watching me dancing! and yes i agree that was unfair of us
When we shoot by ourselves, we realize how important it is to have another set of eyes to catch minor but important things to correct!👀(Some things are more of visual than technical.)
I wish I filmed myself more for checking when I was performing😅 or to have a good coach by side. But most of the case, you can’t be so nitpicking 😢 when you are in career due to time constraints (so many casts and schedule). I agree perfectionism doesn’t exist in live performances and we just need to learn to let go😂
btw your dancing is beautiful 💖🏅
At 8:53, maybe this is a stylistic choice and I see it done both ways at the professional level, but I prefer the low squared-off front attitude instead of a coup de pied front.
I love this variation so much and I want to compete it but this would be my first ever variation. Also, my dance instructor has VERY strong opinions on this variations and a lot of others. Would this be a good choice and if not which one would you recommend as a first? (Btw I’m 14, good at hops and grand allegro, and not as good with extensions and adage.)
how much does your own emotional connection to the character influence/affect the execution? I particularly liked the last few strident turns complete with messy hair....
It is unfortunate that most of the ballet world uses the awful arrangement of the music heard in this video when performing this solo. It seems that only the Mariinsky Orchestra (and a smal handful of others) that performs this variation in Riccardo Drigo's original, beautiful orchestration. Compare the arrangements heard in this video ruclips.net/video/EQwYCiOInwo/видео.htmlsi=loBxitRRw760xY5X
