Susan Jaffe is something unique. Especially because she was one of the taller girls to become a ballerina. She has described herself as "I had legs up to my ears and big feet". It's true. Her legs seemed to have no end. She... is special. Really. Baryshnikov himself asked this dear girl herself to replace none other than Gelsey Kirkland when her drug problem flared up and made her unreliable. And Vladmir... now he doesn't get the credit the dear man deserves. Honestly, he is one of the best danseurs in the world right now. He is the Nureyev of his time. He looks and moves just like him. But man, I even dare to say he's even better than good ol' Rudolph. He actually surpasses one Rudolph Nureyev. They make such beautiful music here together. For that, we should be eternally grateful. To them, to American Ballet Theatre... And to Kabaiivansko2... thanks for sharing the magic... Danke, and as they say in ballet, Merde...

Безумно красиво!

Ottimi i passi sulle punte in eundo della ballerina e l'enfatizzazione commediale di quella che in effetti è una pièce narrativa.Ottima l'occupazione del proscenio da parte del ballerino. Ottima la ricerca della figurativita ' anche in ensemble degli agenti in proscenio. MOLTO BRAVI.BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

Wow, quite unique.. she really is acting a part, not just dancing. I've seen an interview where she describes how a good part of her career was spent on really perfecting her ability to get into the deepest depth of her characters, a real painstaking search for the true 'art' in ballet. It really shows. Perfect technique of course helps, but there is something more layered on top of it that really 'makes the show'. Too bad 'they don't make them this way anymore'

Dancers today are in many ways very superficial and self absorbed (which has it's place). Their identities seem to hinges on the pyrotechnics. And once the tricks are done and they receive the applause, we're more often, left with a pseudo good feeling, overlaid with a sense of what might have been. This performance is so nuanced, that we can almost feel the breeze from the flutter of her wings. Bravo!.

It's hard to believe that you're saying this. You must not have seen alot of ballet dancers. From every country there are stupendous dancers with technique and soulful artistry to the rafters. Natalia Osipova and every great russian ballerina you could name. Zakarova. Lucia Lacarra. The list is absolutely endless. Watch more ballet!

They often look like from a doll factory, with exaggerated physical features and mannerisms of motion. Some exceptions with true personality and unique artistic individuality do exist, but rare.

@@ahayes9945 Yes, very interesting observation. It's like they're not really serving art, but some standard or 'school' for their personal gain. Of course they all need some of that, but it should not show in the art, and these days it does. It's probably in the way that they are prepared and raised.

Awesome!!!

Really good! Beautiful poses, arms, and balance.

I love this black swan, without all the show from some companies

Perfection.

Великолепно танцуют солисты, но Большой театр обладает большой сценой, там артисты могут показать больше размах,дать больше энергии зрителям. Конечно эта сцена в исполнении солистов Большого Цискаридзе и Степаненко меня поразила больше.

WOW!😍

Impecable.

Малахова обожаю. А его Жизель с Вишневой изумительна.. Только Цискаридзе, как ученик одного и того же педагога равнозначен. Остальные учитесь, если получится. Сейча можно и у Малахова и у Цискаридзе. Оба ведут мастер классы и преподают.

Как и с Цискаридзе, смотрю только на Малахова, или на его ноги, если балерина его закрывает. Взгляд приковывается только к нему.

never saw the woman dancing her solo with the music that is usually for the male solo .

Это Вы узнали о Малахове от Цискаридзе. )) А любители балета знали его, как выдающегося танцовщика, с первых его появлений на конкурсах .

Sure would like to know what company this is. Love these dancers, and it's mostly excellent, though I was disappointed to not have the grieving Odette (or in some productions, multiple white swans), at that particular music. Also didn't care for how the moment of the awful revelation is staged; Siegfried didn't actually swear his love here, and I also felt a bit cheated of Odile's joyful scorn at him--she just disappeared behind Rothbart's cape. Also, as others have noted, the music for the two solos is unusual (though I know others have also mixed and matched various pieces of music for those). But Jaffe and Malakhov have been, and will always be two of my favorites.

Susan Jaffe danced primarily with ABT. The choreography looks like it's Peter Martins as he did a lot of one handed partnering so either ABT used his choreography or Jaffe is guesting with the NYC Ballet. Those are my best guesses.
