What!?!? Wow. When was the last time you saw an audience give a standing ovation after a pas de deux?? Not after the Coda, after the pas??? Before the variations even started?? Incredible. Every time I watch these two I have to pick my jaw up off the floor, over and over again. Her balances are truly awe inspiring, and it's about time someone brought virtuoso balances back!! Brava! Reminds me of Cynthia Gregory's legendary balances back in the late '70s and early '80s. In fact, so few ballerinas have made them a priority in the interim! Osiel's jump is amazing, yes, but how many dancers have you seen take pirouettes and not just go for quantity, but make each a truly unique artistic expression, even maintaining and reinforcing his characterization? I always thought that turning was an interruption of character for technique's sake, but for Osiel they become a playground for artistic expression way above and beyond their already insane technical considerations. Bravo!!
Today is 2021 and I still keep watching this since 2016. The best Don Q. So much fun , so much joy and positive energies from this. Thank you for uploading !
Wow, just wow. Grace, control, artistry. Impeccable technique in the service of artistic integrity. And those endless balances!! They made me scream and cheer. El Ballet Nacional de Cuba es una joya del Caribe.
The Ballerina, La Cubana is fantastic. Among a bunch of great ballerinas, she is in the highest areopag. In artistic performances it is impossible to pick the best artist.
impresionante nadie como tu Viengsay Valdes. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡. tu eres una ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆. gracias por todo ese talento. te queremos muchos. tus fanáticos desde la otra parte del mundo.
Viengsay Valdes is a great, talented ballerina. Viengsay Valdes can balance. If he did this with more good taste and culture, if he did not force the music, then the production would not have the atmosphere of a "cheap circus act".
Actually, yes it is about the spins and jumps and balances........but they do it WAYYYY better musically than 99% of the Russians. And com'on, DQ IS about the S and J and B's. Let's not kid ourselves here. For my money, if that's what you came to see - haven't seen any better in the last year.
Esto parece más circo que ballet. El excesivo abuso de los balances desluce el espectáculo. Demasiado alarde de su capacidad física. Que camine mejor en una cuerda floja.
Eso es poder. El bailarin tiene un lado acrobatico tambien y debe mostrarlo. Sin excederse, ok, pero Don Quijote se presta para eso. Si no te gusta es por envidia. Ambos son fabulosos.

No hay adjetivos para calificar el alto nivel escénico técnico de ambos congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏
For me, this is the best pas de Don Quijote I have ever seem. Viengsay Valdes, la quinta joya del BNC, una bailarina extraordinaria.
Viengsay la quinta joya??? Antes que ella están Rosario Suárez, Amparo Brito, Ofelia Gonzáles, Lorna Feijoó........
Wow, just wow. Grace, control, artistry. Impeccable technique in the service of artistic integrity. And those endless balances!! They made me scream and cheer. El Ballet Nacional de Cuba es una joya del Caribe.
BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO!!!
FABULOUS Don Quijote, The CUBAN WAY.
I love the Cuban way ..they are so gorgeous !
Thank you for posting this exciting Donq.
I've been overwhelmed with their tremendous techniques!
Extraordinarios, Viengsay, Osiel !! Bravísimooo !!
Gorgeous and fantastic!
AMBOS SON COMO DE OTRA DIMENSION

Absolutely superb
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹
Sin palabra grande muy grande es un regalo de los Dioses solo se logra dejando la vida en la escena algo como extraterrestre
Evviva la Valdés . Una Kitri come lei deve ancora nascere.
La Valdés ha marchiato a fuoco il ruolo di Kitri.
Loved his variations.
Minha KITRI favorita!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Am I the only one who feels like he marks so much of his port from bras now that he’s a star?
brilliant and very exciting dancers
Para bailar con virtuosismo no hace falta ser caucásico, de ojos claros, pelo rubio y piernas finas y largas.
Tall always looks better on stage. Osiel Gouneo is an exception. He is amazing.
Bravissimo anche Osiel
BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Трюкачи)))))) Вообще очень здорово!
What an Exciting Adagio ...
Wow!!!!
Bravo!!
mejores del mundo!
Que bueno habìa sido Osiel Gouneo. No lo conocìa
Bravo!!!! El genial, ella normal!!!!

Musicality sacrificed to show off big jumps and spectacular spins and balancing ... what not
Actually, yes it is about the spins and jumps and balances........but they do it WAYYYY better musically than 99% of the Russians. And com'on, DQ IS about the S and J and B's. Let's not kid ourselves here. For my money, if that's what you came to see - haven't seen any better in the last year.
I’ve never seen such balances and spectacle before in any other ballet performance
This is acrobatics, not ballet.
Bye Felicia!
Bordering on it.
IMMENSOS LOS DOS GENIALES Grs.
No me gusta Viengsay Valdes- Siempre tratando de hacer equilibrio màs allà de lo necesario
Очень слабая техника. И за что за каждое "па" нужны овации?
Иногда открывайте дверь и смотрите на другой конец света. У них другой вкус и другая культура. Наслаждайтесь этим и уважайте это 🙂

Se llama virtuosismo, técnico y artístico.... @@abelardorgr
