Alina é uma perfeita bailarina, tem a doçura de uma fada e a singeleza de uma borboleta em seus movimentos.O bailarino também é excelente, parecendo um belo cisne a flutuar. Parabéns!!!
If it was easy, anybody could do it. If it was easy, it would not be challenging and it would be a bore to watch. "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,..." (JFK) (lol)
anyone who thinks that by wearing gaynors your cheating and saying these dancers arent talented just shows their complete ignorance of ballet, Leave it to the professionals haters ;)
beautiful!! alina as gorgeous as always...and johan...well...so kobborg!! awesome...no words....i could watch it a hundred times and still have my mouyth hanging open
I think she's a lovely dancer, and if by cheater you are referring to her shoe brand (Gaynor Minden) that's really unfair. Shoes don't give you lovely arabesque lines, clean jumps or talent.
This dance of the flower festivals is charming but all the dancers capture the essence it's not only tecnique its the spirit of the festival of the dance the music is totally delightful
omg they are SO cute!! They have an amazing tecnique, they make a great team and they can act sooo wel!!!! i love how alina stares at him at 2:24 and he caches her and how embarrased she is!!! PERFECT!!

I personally like Evgenia Obratzova's much more, but I heard that this one was more authentic Bournonville and the other was too Russian. I am trained vaganova, so I might be a little biased toward the other, but I'm curious, what makes this more authentic?
Alexandra Friedman There are specific and very distinctive characteristics and signature steps that make the Bournonville method what it is and you really have to be able to adapt to all this in order to really master the style. The Bournonville method has its own way of doing everything, for example, it's very rare that they use both arms when doing jumps; jumps are usually done with one arm or no arms at all. There's also the special hand position and how they use space. Dancers like Obraztsova would Russian-ise Bournonville, which means they don't dance the method as it should be danced. When dancing a method like Bournonville, you can't change the style simply so it suits what you're used to; you have to be able to adapt to different styles otherwise you're going completely against the style you're trying to master. Johan Kobborg and Alina Cojocaru are probably two of the best dancers to watch in Bournonville - Kobborg is trained in the Bournonville method and therefore, everything he's doing in this clip is very authentic. Cojocaru isn't a trained Bournonville ballerina, but she must've learned everything she knows about the method from Kobborg, as he probably would've taught her everything he knows. You say you're Vaganova-trained? Agrippina Vaganova's original method contained influence from the Danish school because she was trained in the Bournonville method herself - one of her teachers was August Bournonville's star student, Christian Johansson.
Unfortunately vaganova method is much more soviet than bournonville. Its not even russian traditionnal school. Here there are some high extensions from alina which doesn't fit with bournonville style.
These dancers are terrific but they strayed from the"Bournonville" style of this marvelous pas de deux. Her extensions are far too high and the bent knees in her arabesques don't belong in this style of ballet. I'd love to see them in the Russian classics. I simply prefer the Royal Danes in this ballet, especially Rose Gade Poulson and Alexander Kolpin.
It’s amazing to compare Kobborg in this and his jaw dropping performance in “Mayerling.” Such versatility! And Cojacaru is always a joy to watch, a great partnership!
they are both so lovely! however it seems to me kobborg isn't following danish lines (ending turns with arms in first etc) but i thought he was danish? even if is isn't (and I know aina isn't) it kind of bugs me when people don't use danish port de bras in genzano. it's a bournonville ballet afterall! yet in anycase they are both amazing, such nice quality and ballon!
Evgenia is excellent in Genzano festival of the flowers I also liked her partner but she is one of the best dancers of today I'd like to see her dance with Polunin also
when you preform a professional ballet piece you need those shoes i am a professional ballerina and since you are going to be dancing for many hours its garenteed to wear those types of point shoes :)
There is nothing 'amazing' about this. I sometimes wonder if all the ballet comments on youtube are written by 15 year old girl ballet students who know the lingo and can't wait to show off their knowledge of feet, shoes and how amazing and adorable their fav. dancers are. See Linda Hindberg and Arne Villumsen (genuinely 'amazing' artists) dance this and then compare to this very unremarkable and quite inelegant performance by these overrated, gimmicky and usually vulgar dancers.
This choreography is lovely and very tough! A pleasure to watch.
This is my favorite pas de deux I've always wanted to do this!
Bournonville as it is meant to be danced Superb performance from two stars !!
So difficult, performed in such a seemingly effortless manner. wonderful.
Absolutely charming, and technically amazing!
Just a lovely couple together, and a lovely pas. I like him especially; but she is wonderful too.
There is a sweetness to this that doesn't cloy.
i adore them
Alina é uma perfeita bailarina, tem a doçura de uma fada e a singeleza de uma borboleta em seus movimentos.O bailarino também é excelente, parecendo um belo cisne a flutuar.
Parabéns!!!
He does Bournonville correctly. By anyone else, this pas de deus doesn't seem right.
right on
I always think Flower Festival looks so hard for the man especially. The footwork in this is incredible.
right on
If it was easy, anybody could do it. If it was easy, it would not be challenging and it would be a bore to watch. "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,..." (JFK) (lol)
Ooooooh!
Lovely ^^
bravo
Can anyone please tell me which ballet is this from?
4:20
No, it's because she has really bad bunions, that it appears like that. She does wing her foot from time to time.
anyone who thinks that by wearing gaynors your cheating and saying these dancers arent talented just shows their complete ignorance of ballet, Leave it to the professionals haters ;)
I don't think I have ever seen anyone better in Bournonville, but then again Kobborg is from Denmark... it's just so impressive!
Try and catch Danish Peter Schaufuss on line. A great favourite of mine.
His dvd in Swan Lake still available at time of this message I believe.🇬🇧
beautiful!! alina as gorgeous as always...and johan...well...so kobborg!! awesome...no words....i could watch it a hundred times and still have my mouyth hanging open
her smile's so sweet, watching this really makes my day
this is so amazing. alina is such a wonderful dancer. their partnership is truly a match made in heaven!
MAGNIFICENT THEY BOTH ARE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING.

Evgenia y Valdimir excellent together in the flower festival in Genzano
THE BEST AND MOST ACCURATE.

i love alina!!!!
Ibwas disappointed in Akinas performance a bit mechanical

5:34
7:10
i think there are turns, although you are right there aren't so many, they feature at 7:00 afterwards
Alina extensions are too wide. That's not bournonville sorry.
Todos perfeitos a Alina a Eugenia e os bailarinos muito perfeitos.
around 2:25, is it just me, or is her foot sickled?
The super beautiful couple!
The most beautiful couple
it's not giselle
its genzano! =)
Reminds me of my lover.
もう一度恥ずかしがらずにやりたいな
fabulous.
fantastic
brilliant!
This is so graceful it feels like acting.
you're the only person who watched this like, a few months ago.
Johann looked slightly off balance during his pirouettes...i like the evgenia obratzsova and leonid sarafanov version a lot more.
You're a complete moron!
Evgenia is excellent in Genzano festival of the flowers I also liked her partner but she is one of the best dancers of today I'd like to see her dance with Polunin also
Genzano festival of the flowers is charming Evgenia evokes the mood and the charm of the festival when she dances
when you preform a professional ballet piece you need those shoes i am a professional ballerina and since you are going to be dancing for many hours its garenteed to wear those types of point shoes :)
What kind of pointe shoes does alina wear?
Gaynor Minden
Também perfeita a Tamara Rojo.
