    As a dancer I really hate how ballet and other styles of dance have become an extension/trick show. The first dance radiates with technique, grace and story telling techniques. Today, if you can’t do 10 perfect pirouettes and lift your leg past your head you simply aren’t good enough. Ballet is more than an acrobatic experience

    I completely agree! I often feel like the musicality and storytelling are lacking. I am not a dancer, I was trained as a classical musician, and i often feel disappointed as the performance is more about how much powerful or flexible the movements are, rather than interpreting the music with your bodies.

    I don’t think the tempo is actually slower. It seems slower because she uses more “hang time” to transition in and out of each movement, creating a real flow. The other dancers’ movements are more sudden.

    One thing about the sugar plum fairy that has always befuddled me was musicality. There are so many fun moments in the music and I couldn’t always clearly understand the connection between the choreo and it - until now. Efremova danced it the way I’ve always wanted to see it and really married the choreo and the music. And her bourrées… I just LOVE how she used them actually move across the stage and take up space!!!

    You are so right. Her three little jumps in time with the characteristic three repeated notes in the music were so enchanting and 'right'. If there isn't the marriage between the music and its interpretation those little jumps can become just empty gestures. I've seen performances where they actually become grotesque and comical.

    Not a ballet dancer here but a physiotherapist. Efremova had more muscle mass in her lower extremities which allowed both the fluid movements & the power to “hold” her joints in various positions for longer lengths of time without tiring which enabled her to match the music better. The evolution is of the preferred, slimmer body “type” over one with more weight due to muscle mass.

    Your comment makes the most sense to me. The first ballerina has the most “hang time” in her poses, and also in the transitions into and out of the poses, which makes the whole dance feel so much more organic and human. The other dancers were more robotic, like, fast-fast-POW! Fast, fast, POW! whereas the first dancer’s movements have a more “roly-poly” quality. In belly dancing, there is an idea that you should move like you’re in a ball of goo. Nothing should be sudden. You should spend as much time and energy and attention getting in and out of your poses as you spend in them. Plus, her stage presence was just captivating. It seems like she might be the more mature artist of the three.

    I absolutely, completely agree. Sugarplum is hard to do. Very hard. I’ve seen so many videos and films of excellent ballerinas perform it and there were only a few who really nailed it. Lauren Cuthbertson being one of them. Maybe it’s because a Christmas ballet has to be magical and the fairy has to become real - even with difficult choreography. She has to be so delicate, soft, perfect and controlled. That is really hard. Also, there are hundreds of little girls watching and looking for this magical creature to be real - it’s the first ballet most children will see. I think that’s added pressure.

    All three dancers performed beautifully but the first dance by Efremova was absolutely magical. Her fluid movements beautifully matched the music and it felt vibrant even on black and white film. I don't want to put down the following two dancers because they obviously worked hard and danced better than I ever could even in my wildest dreams. However, as time goes on they seemed progressively more mechanical and too perfect in their movements. It was like watching marionette puppets perform rather than a living doll like the sugar plum fairy is supposed to be. Both were undoubtedly well done on a technical aspect but they felt empty...

She seems utterly consumed in her art...not playing a part but she has internalized it so well and has such amazing technique to express this artistry. The way she played the Sugar Plum Fairy is more ethereal and magical because she doesn't look like shes trying to please people or perform. She looks like she just IS inherently magical and letting us see the magic and being herself. The other two looked like performers who were too conscious.

In both cases you will feel mesmerised by this "little" dance.

    I love the first one. The grace, the control and most of all: simplisity of her movements made every second feel full. It was like she didn't follow the music, the music followed her. This is why the newer versions looks so messy, cause they have to kick higher, or spin faster to seem more impressive. But simplisity really is beautiful in ballet. It leaves room for so much more feeling and art instead of just tricks and gymnastics.

Same with gymnastics, if you compare the girls from the 90s we’re more artistic, nowadays they are so athletic, the soft delicate part of gymnastics is lost, but they do things that I didn’t know our body could perform .

    I honestly wish we would go back to the older style ballet where the story is told through the movement better.

    Какая-то грустная эволюция... 1960 - потрясающее исполнение, грация, единение с музыкой, 1993 - поскромнее, а 2017 - совсем грустно... Почитав комментарии, поняла, что я не одинока в своих суждениях.

    The first one had so much more control and balance - and so clearly too!

    Самый прекрасный танец у Ефремовой, грациозно, музыкально✨ просто браво. ❤️

    Former dancer here. It is encouraging to see how many people here recognize that Ms Efremova gave the most artistic and musical performance of the three. The two other dancers do represent represent changes in body type preference and an emphasis on athleticism over musicality and expression that is now in vogue in the ballet world and which unfortunately has fostered a loss of artistry. I hope that as the public can recognize this loss it will one day lead to the pendulum swinging back into the direction of artistry and elegance. Thank-you for posting this comparison. It is very informative.

    Ефремова безупречна… как музыкальна , легка , точна в каждой ноте… помните фильм Я вас любил? Это она играет Лену, ученицу Дудинской

    дааа?! Какая замечательная! Там она - просто воплощение той грации и нежности, какую несли наши балерины, пока не появилась это грязное существо сволочкова.
