    she's so modest! i don't think she truly knows how amazing she is! when the interview said that she was a principal, she just looked down with a modest smile and said, 'yes...'
    that really shows how amazingly nice she is, not just how amazing she is at dancing. alina, you are my idol and the most beautiful and passionate dancer out there, we love you!

    No way could you 'pass [her] on the street without a second glance'!!
    Someone really needs to do a documentary on Alina! This makes me miss all the lovely class / rehearsal footage of her that we could have!

    @dancingboy97 This video was made in 2001, when she was 20, at that time Marinela was not a principal with the RB, that's why she is not counted. She became principal more than a year later in September 2002. Alina was made principal on 17 April 2001. Alina became principal at 19 years and 11 months old and Marinela at 20 years and 6 months old.

    @repn87 I really believe she is. With all she's accomplished at the Royal Ballet and the huge amount of guesting she's done. Just curious, (not trying to start a fight!) but who do you think the top ballerina is?

    @SuperBalletgirl101 well said! we should all stop comparing dancers/artists and respect each other and just enjoy that artists are not machines but as you say "all unique and has their own style"

    @Leirix61 The commentator says that she arrived in London only eighteen months ago, so this is 2001, not 2011.

    • @MTknitter22

    @silkenthreaddance I was thinking the same thing about Evegnia, the Mariinsky isn't giving her a chance, she is doing principals roles in guests spots around the world instead of at her home theater it's such a pity. It would be a great loss for the Kirov is Evgenia left but I almost wish she won't leave because the Kirov needs her, they just haven't given her the roles she deserves. I'm torn on the decision :P

  • @SuperBalletgirl101
    @SuperBalletgirl101 13 років тому

    She was certainly only at the begining 10 years ago! She couldn't have know back than that in 10 years she would become the world's top ballerina!!

    @SuperBalletgirl101 13 років тому

    @repn87 Well for me there is a difference between 'top' and "best". If that makes any sense... for me top, is more like achievements and such. Best, for me, is not possible in art. Every dancer is unique and has there own style and triumphs. Personal favorites is different as well, and for me, Alina is a personal favorite. :)

  • @janglass8219
    @janglass8219 3 роки тому +1

    Yeah she's not my favorite kind of dancer. She looks prepubescent, like a gymnast. A ballerina should look post pubescent.

      Literally none of the primas look like women. They all have prepubescent bodies.
