    I just love how there are girls doing the same moves in the back, some of them completely in sync, others clearly trying to pick up the choreography a bit closer. There’s just so much effort and passion everywhere you look

    I love how there are about six other dancers behind you, learning the variation… Everybody’s turning with you in the background! It really gives us a glimpse of what it’s like to be in the practice room. ❤

      But that is exactly what it is like in any studio when all new roles/ variations are being learnt. Most of the female Corp know almost every female variation from a ballet that maybe being prepared. It is excellent training to expand and finesse one's technique. I am thinking these students are possibly learning various variations for performance in possibly competition where competitors are given a selection to choose from.

    Amber, I danced 30 years ago and I can tell that your technique is absolutely fantastic. You have the makings of an incredible prima ballerina… if I could make a humble suggestion (and I know it’s hard when you are practicing in front of your peers…the hardest!)try to exaggerate your moves a little bit more in the arms (slow down when you can so the moves aren’t as mechanical come even though the way to use your arms is so beautiful !)…and use your face to express emotion. Try to think about what the character is actually going through and become that. If you combine the proper emotions and let your body show those emotions along with your impeccable technique, you’ll be the most phenomenal dancer! I realize you are just getting the moves down right now, but incorporate those things and I think you’re gonna bring everyone to tears in a good way!

    This is so valuable for non dancers to see. I also enjoy the videos of the other girl that is your student. It is hard to get an "education" on how things work "behind the scene, and before make up", and almost nothing on how it relates to music, and why. The videos of The Royal Ballet on history are great, and there are a few chanels on "how to choose music for dance class". But if you don't "grow-up" in practice room - not much luck.
    (Oh, I'm a musician and a composer. I wrote for theater, movment, and some contemporary stuff... But no luck in finding info how to go about classical and neoclassical, etc. I realized I need to learn the language and movements, and all that.)

Your pretty face is as changing, moving, expressive, varying as your steps, your tricks and variation. From laughter to lightness, to clouds of smiles, regaining control and strong concentration. Dazzling and magnetic pirouettes. What an intoxicating talent of the most charming. You are earthy, delicate, delicious and extra. Congratulations

      A lot of productions don't seem to include this variation but the Royal Ballet includes it and the best version I've seen of it is the one danced by Darcy Bussell. I went to see her as Gamzatti many years ago, when Altynai Assylmuratova danced as Nikiya. When the final curtain calls came, Darcy got a bigger round of applause than either Mukhamedov or Altynai. The audience could see how well she had danced and how, even in a secondary role, she stood out. The music, as you say, is beautiful! Here's the link to her performance :-

    To my untrained eye it looks like you've learned about 95% of this variation and just got a little lost towards the end. I feel like I'm missing something. The intentionally bent arm position also looks really weird. I know it's part of the choreography, but it feels wrong. Why?
