Adage Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It's beautiful, and you can see why the teacher makes you stand on relevee at the barre and balance - preparation! You can see her leg shake in her attitude when he takes his hand away. Quote Link to comment
HipHopB.Dancer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 absolutley adored it thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment
intermezzo Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Oh how wonderful! I absolutely adore Angel's huge staying-in-the-air-forever jumps-- almost makes me wish I was a boy! I really like the end where they pause before the kneeling pose, it's so dramatic! Thanks for the link, I'll be watching it often. Quote Link to comment
Guest ForeverSewingPointeShoes Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I have literally watched this 25 times They are fantastic!!! The only thing that bothers me is that her fouettes are not on the music. Maybe I am being ###### but that REALLY gets to me! I tried balancing for ten seconds in attitude during class today.... I did it but I struggled a heck of a lot more than she did! Those balances blow me away every time. Quote Link to comment
omshanti Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I might be being too fussy but I noticed few things in the their dancing watching the videoclip. In the beginning of their pas de deux they seem to be few counts behind the music in the lifts. when he is walking around her with her in atitude position his left hip has a funny circular movement. He lands in second position in stead of 5th on his jumps during the pas de deux. In his solo, his beats in the cabriole behind are not clear. He almost shows his back in his preparation for pirouettes. And in her solo There are some sickle feet positions visible. As a whole it feels like circus with turning tricks. But the amount of turns they do is impressive. Forgive me for being too fussy. Quote Link to comment

ABT Wannabe Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I don't care for Paloma's arms...but I thought everything else was beautiful. :-) Quote Link to comment
Guest Raedyn L. Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) After reading this entire topic, I don't feel quite as bad about saying this, so I'll just say it: Paloma wobbled TWICE! Otherwise, it was quite a pretty pas de deux. Angel's variation blew me away! He was practically hanging in the air with those jumps! Edit: And she only did twenty-seven, but I can forgive her for that. Edited April 29, 2006 by Raedyn L. Quote Link to comment
Guest Katherine345 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Edit: And she only did twenty-seven, but I can forgive her for that. Well, she did several doubles, which take longer to get around. So I guess it evens out. Quote Link to comment
fandango Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Loved that clip. Thanks. For me it is fun to pick it apart and see the pieces, but it is the whole that takes my breath away. I would much rather see an imperfect, but passionate, performance than a technically perfect one with no emotion. Quote Link to comment
DancingDoodles Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sorry if this is in the wrong place but what act is the variation with the fan and all of the hops going down the diagonal from? I hope that made sense, if not I'll try to specify more! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Applejack Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 It's in the last act. We just saw the Moscow Festival Ballet do it and the Pas de Deux was nice but nothing like the one with Paloma and Angel. Quote Link to comment
