      ​ @fyeelessarndra3392 Tchai thought it was "bad ballet", that the story would "fool" people into thinking it was good where he believed it to be "fake" and "boring", and firmly opined that it was less complex than it pretended to be. Also, his sister died during the composition and he hated it on a very deep personal level after that; understandably so.

I am not a ballerina, but I grew up with classical music and watched all the main ballets dozens of times when I was a kid. They are supposed to dance like one, not be all over the place. But I am giving it a thumb up for the beautiful music by the eternal Tchaikovsky. He was a basket case but look at the gifts he left behind.

      It’s really only noticeable to dancers. I love it! Balanchine dancers move faster, they hold their hands differently, what some call a claw, and he emphasized the lines your body makes and what audiences see. For instance if I’m posed with my right foot forward my neck should be turned slightly so that my left cheek is front and center to the audience. I guess a easier explanation in 1 word is Extra! Everything is emphasized. I think it beautiful.

    I saw the full ballet at Lincoln Center when I was 8. Still love the music and one of my favorite memories 54 years later.

    This made me really happy today. Just wanted to share that. The music, the dancers, choreography, costumes, nostalgia of seeing this often when I was little... ❤️. I smiled while watching it.

    Потрясающе! Я сама танцевала в детстве этот вальс на сценах киевского и харьковского театров оперы и балета. Но, не прочитав заголовок видео, а просто узнавая мелодию, сначала не узнала сам танец. Поразили декорации, костюмы, профессионализм девушек. А когда узнала, завороженно следила за оригинальной постановкой хореографии. Настоящие цветы! Как тонко! Хочется пересматривать и сохранить это видео. Спасибо вам.

    EX T R A O R D I N Á R I O!!!!!!!! Meu sonho era ser Bailarina, mas, infelizmente, nunca tive, sequer, uma aula de Balé, mas, sem frustrações, assisto a essas apresentações cheia de alegria e com um apreço enorme por essas bailarinas e por essas músicas magníficas! Parabéns! Obrigada!

    Majestic music with beautiful choreography. This is what little ones see in all its glory, & decide 'I'm going to be a ballet dancer'.
    I see the 'spectacle of beauty'
    I cannot keep my legs still, the dancer within is instinctual!
    The triangle, with the choreography, is such a delicate touch and so precious.
