1:20 i’m obsessed on how the fabric of her dress just swirls it’s so gorgeous and adds some sort of aspect to the entire dance
-
She is dancing like her soul is free.
-
One thing I especially love in her performance is a slight element of hysteria. She's not just in love... she's crazy in love. And it sets up what happens in a few minutes just perfectly. As incredible a technician Osipova is, I don't think she gets enough credit for being the best actor in ballet.

1:57 everytime I see professional ballerinas do this step, my mouth literally falls open I was just watching another ballerina do this dance and the energy change is so drastic between these two performances. I love that this one shows Giselle's happiness and excitement so well. This is not meant to devalue the performances of other ballerinas or say anyone who doesn't do this as fast or energetically is bad. I am just so impressed by this performance and this part.
-
Those FEET, I am astounded by how strong her feet have to be to wear such soft shoes, it gives her such a light and airy quality too!
-
The turn sequence at the end is just absolutely phenomenal! She's so graceful. When she jumps and leaps it's like she's weightless and her turns are exquisite; she makes ballet look the way it should look: effortless.
-
1:38 this step is really hurting her feet but she still manages to smile for the audience it's just incredible
-
Let's be honest, this isn't your first time here.
-
No matter how many ballet clips I watch, I always come back to this one. Absolutely stunning.
-
I can't even walk across a room without tripping over my own feet
-
Would you kick a child for one million dollars? Me: 1:39
-
the way the fabric of her skirt flares so softly and elegantly through the air is literally moving me to tears. wonderful cinematic production . so much respect for live performers. people really don't understand just how many times they must have to rehearse to perfect their roles. much respect to all dancers and actors.

1:37 me when I hit my little toe of my foot to a table.
-
1:38 me getting into drama that has nothing to do with me
-
She's so graceful! Everytime she jumps, it looked like she's weightless and her soul is free. She dances gracefully and effortlessly. My respect to ballet dancers📈📈📈📈
-
1:06 i love this part sm 😭
-
Did you see how soft her pointe shoes were?!? I honestly hope her feet were okay cause jeez!!!😬😱
-
Those pirouettes are insanely fast! Impressive!
-
Why is it every single time I watch an Osipova solo her shoes are completely destroyed
-
Ballet is seriously no joke. Years of immense hardwork is what we just saw
