Proof that costuming can really enhance movement. Those skirts move BEAUTIFULLY!!!!

[LuizFilipeLucchiari]

INSANE high level of energy here. It's so much difficult to keep that with technique.

Tchaikovsky thinking that he failed this ballet brings me tears because I haven't heard anything better than this in my whole life. I guess all of the great artists in the literary, art, and music world have had the tendency to think they're a failure.

I'm so happy that the classical arts are still being appreciated today!

[lunesoleil]

as a dancer i can’t watch this without getting ridiculously excited

[John]

They look like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind. So beautiful!

[beyza]

The designer definetly did a good job with those dresses. Actually i couldnt be able to watch the dancers i was watching dresses. They are definetly making atmosphere more dreamy. I really liked it

[perse]

IMAGINE the POWER you must feel when you’re dancing the main role in this ballet. IMAGINE JUST IMAGINE
wish I could dance as good as everyone in this

[SandAswiftiecats]

Wow. As a ballet dancer, I appreciate exactly how hard this actually is. You have to work hard, push your self to your limits, and make it look easy and effortless at the same time. Thank you ballet dancers, for bringing beauty to this world.

I'm a guy who's never had an interest in ballet or classical music. But I keep coming back to this video and I think it is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, the scene is like a moving painting

[MalloryNewcomb]

What a soloist! She injected a delicious spritely and cheeky quality into the choreography & you knew she loved what she was doing.

I love how Balanchine decides to make it pretty but that doesn’t meant it is slow, it’s jaunty and has some soul in it. Makes me happy to watch… as a dancer and just as someone who appreciates beauty 🤍

[Lauren]

My 6 month old daughter watches this at least 10x a day. This is her favorite thing ever. She knows the song when it comes on and instantly looks for the ballerinas ❤️

[matthewk]

I cannot imagine the hours of training and rehearsal needed for this dance

[lauraspaeth]

Ashley Bouder is extraordinary in this. Her expressions, her quickness, style. There are no words to describe her musicality and presence.

[nicolakunz]

The soloist has such a playful gracefulness, she's so light. I love this. The costumes on the corps and their own movements work so beautifully.

[adawkins]

3:11 - 3:24 is just so visually pleasing to me 😍 I watch it over and over again.

[sophiemehdizadeh]

They don’t even look at each other at times and yet their timing, coordination, and literally everything else is flawless

[nataliesuper]

I love the soloists athleticism. Really fits the part. Like a flower jumping to life in the spring.
And so nice to see a ballerina with some meat on her legs! Go girlfriend!

[kyzerkyzerkyzerkyzerkyzer]

Everyone: I wonder what their POV is..
Ballerinas: MY FEET
Everyone: oh well

[yukishakura]
