Is this what perfection looks like? It certainly is excellence of the highest standard. She is most marvellously talented and already clearly one of the best dancers in the world. To say I am impressed is an understatement.
Чудо, как хороша! Гениальная балерина! Как она музыкальна, как пёрышко легка, изящна как японская статуэтка, а какая растяжка! Глаз не оторвать от её танца! Мариинке очень повезло, что у неё есть такой бриллиант, как Мэй Нагахиса!
Воплощенное изящество, фантастическая легкость, музыкальность, очарование... Она рождена для балета! Легких ножек, здоровья, сил, вдохновения прекрасной Мэй! Храни, Господи, это Чудо от травм...
The other wonderful thing about this sparkling gem is that she is still young, fresh and at the beginning of her stardom journey. If she plays her cards right she can book herself our for years to come as a guest artist the way some other wise ones have done after establishing their diva -hood and retire early if she wants to and have full pockets which most dance artists don't have by the time they are ready to be retired, injured or who knows what. By being a guest artist she can set her own performance schedule, and pace, reduce the chances of being overworked and getting injured and retire still pretty young and very pretty. Ask Ms. Sylvie Guillem. She did it right!
Thank you, @BunduBallerina, for this video, and for informing us where she went. It's a relief to see that she is safe. Also, I just noticed this, and it's quite trivial, but she has beautiful hands. She articulates them perfectly.
The l o v l e s t wrists and hand movements while performing,... Sooo outstanding like l've never seen before, even in the most beautiful port de bras.. ..May Nagahisa is a real dream , utterly exquisite, feminine, versatile and pure STAR QUALITY in every movement--❤️❤️❤️
I know that May Nagahisa will find good support and guidance from the ballet community in Monaco. Hopefully she can do many guest appearances in Europe and even further afield.
Вообще, наконец-то, классический пример настоящей балерины: хрупкая, нежная, изящная, невероятно танцевальная, божественные изящные руки, легкая как облако и очень женственная! Танец проходит с такой легкостью, как будто ей это ничего не стоит!!! Фантастическая настоящая балерина! Многие другие балерины, к сожалению, крупны как кобылицы, тяжеловесны, высушены и перекачены, из-за чего их фигуры смотрятся очень некрасиво, а про руки-палки я вообще молчу. И в целом их танец настолько напряжен, что кажется, как будто они сейчас умрут на сцене. Мэй великолепна!
Spasiba! I am so happy to hear that May Nagahisa has returned to the Mariinsky Ballet. Thank you for sharing this news! Her interpretation of Diamonds is indeed exquisite! You were fortunate to see it.
Fantasztikus, nagyszerű elöadás. Gratulálok! Üdvözlö tisztelettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea. Sok-sok sikert kívánok a továbbiakban Üdvözlö tisztelettel, Gheorghe Țibrea.
Concerto DSCH was beautiful. I watched it twice over and would love to see the whole performance. May is so fluid and light. As always Bundu Ballerina, thanks for your good work. While watching this it occurred to me that Russia post Soviet breakup greatly expanded its influence in ballet by offering promising students from other countries scholarships and positions to their best ballet schools and companies. May, Jacbo Tissi and David Matta Soares are prime examples of those who decided to stay in Russia to develop their careers. That was good for both Russian ballet and ballet in general by extending its history and traditions in the ballet world. The Ukraine war ended that. Russia may now be winning by just grinding down Ukraine resistance, a long held battle tactic of Russian generals. That victory will make Russia a pariah, ending the good it did for ballet for years to come, certainly for my lifetime. I hate brining politics into something I cherish, but that's the situation I think we are in now. Ballet is a small part of the world, really, incomparably small next to the suffering now happening because of Russia's war, but that is still a very sad if small outcome. Nobody wins.
I hope she will find another top-rank company to work with and mature a good repertoire, where she can grow as an artist. She's wonderful but very young and she needs a solid team to get to make the most of her potential. If she settles for guesting, I don't think it will be the same.
@@alexandrdizov9165 Thanks for your comment. Yes, May Nagahisa is back in Mariinsky thankfully. I made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/DGf8s-pHpCY/v-deo.html I hope you enjoy it.

I Absolutely LOVE May Nagahisa's talent!!! She's So Endearing!🙏🏽💯♥️ I can't believe she no longer there?!! I LOVED HER AT THE MARIINSKY! What an accomplishment as a non Russian, Vaganova trained Ballerina!!! I'm sure many native Russian ballerinas were green with envy of her status. I just felt that! She was just as talented as some of their principals, maybe even more so, imo. She'll land on her feet where she's meant to be. Her talent is UNDENIABLE! Perhaps the Royal Ballet or Paris Opera will welcome her???🙏🏽💯♥️
You can also see complete variations performed by Nagahisa by viewing the 2 previous videos I made of her. Here are the links: ua-cam.com/video/JJF-pE054o4/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/M543Njv_DcQ/v-deo.html
May has left the Mariinsky? Or is she still based with the Mariinsky and guesting? She is one of my top favorite ballerinas, and she is definitely a star. Thank you for this!
OH NOOOO@@TheBunduBallerinaSHE'S GONE FROM THE MARIINSKY???! 😫 I wanted SO BAD for her to reach PRIMA status there!!! So many changes are happening everywhere?!?
Lovely compilation! I'm curious about her mad scene and overall acting in Giselle. Do you know if there's more of her as Shirrin, because that was her acting moment that floored me. The only place I could see room for improvement at all was in Diamonds, and this is true of most Russian dancers---her lower body had the sharpness and attack of a Balanchine dancer but her arms are so beautiful and fluid they weren't quite keeping pace. She was perfect in---well, everything? Thanks for this lovely compilation and all the links! And again, is there more of her in Legend of Love somewhere?
Thank you. Yes, her Shyrin is out of this world! She is perfectly suited to the role. There are some playlists you can explore to see more of her in this, and other roles. Tom Cooper made a great one here: ua-cam.com/play/PLbWl5TuRKdiG3XUVyqpBmI758PAcupjSQ.html
What? Well she may not have the rank of prima at the Mariinsky but she is certainly a Prima! And the fact that she is not at the Mariinsky when she clearly is one...speaks very loudly unfortunately!
She is wonderful. Obviously, she left Russia because of the war, so I am not quite sure what you mean. I think what her leaving speaks very loudly about is that she is a very good and decent person with principles as well as an excellent dancer.
@@TheBunduBallerina Doubtful. The Marinsky handed her a fantastic deal on a silver platter and she turned her back on it for political reasons. Loyalty counts for Russians, as it does for everyone.
I don't think so considering the situation. Even setting aside how she would feel to dance in Russia and how she would feel as a foreigner there under the circumstances (especially since she is from Japan), still that is a wise career choice. I don't think we will have tours or live streaming from Russian companies any time soon I am afraid. I don't think it was a loss for Mariinsky. Generally, I feel the two big theaters have not suffered any losses from the dancers that have left so far. Bolshoi maybe but not due to Smirnova, I am thinking that Soares was actually a good fit and an asset to Bolshoi.
She dances so beautiful I can watch it all day. Thank you for sharing this video.💖
Thank you so much. I can watch her all day, too.
@@TheBunduBallerina Who is the scottish male dancer?
