      That was my impression. She seems fearless the way she attacks a role, her confidence.
      Her Kitri variations are wonderful. Never would have guessed she was shy.

      You can tell how strong she is by her amazing jumps and speed of turns. When I was young I did rhythmic gymnastics and suffered from an eating disorder for a period of time, and the first thing I lost was my jump and stamina. Natalia is so energetic, she has the energy of a child or a squirrel 😊

    • @Caroline-jt6ez
      @Caroline-jt6ez Рік тому +3

      I also noticed the healthy weight gain-she was so thin and frail in the Giselle recording, but looks healthier now. If you go back and see some of her Bolshoi era videos she was also very stick-like and I wonder if they forced her into an unhealthy body image or an eating disorder-not surprising considering that they monitor weight and food intake in Russia. I hope she feels brave enough someday to tell her body image story.

    The “I can’t today but I will can tomorrow” actually was exactly what I needed. Thank you Natalia, you’re so inspiring and the greatest dancer I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t have thought you were shy, after watching you dance, enjoying yourself so expressively or acting just amazing. But I understand it. I criticize myself the worst. If any celebrity deserves the place on my phone-Lock Screen, it’s definitely you (I hope that doesn’t sound weird 😅). Hope I’ll once get the chance to see you life on stage ❤️

      My ballet teacher once told us that she started to dye her naturally lighter hair dark, because it creates the best contrast on stage. She was told starting her carrier her hair colour was too close to her skin colour and from far away it would look like she had no hair. I wonder if it's a common advice.
