would have been best if you had done a split screen with one dancer on one side. And the other dancer on the other side.
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.

@Hola well when you think about it, ballet is story telling. With out the sets and costumes, the dance moves and music convey the emotions and actions in the story. No narrator needed.
With the first dancer everything makes absolute sense. I always thought this dance was messy; everytime I watched it, it felt like it was off beat. But not with that first ballerina. It just made sense.

She was so light on her feet that she really looked like a fairy.
The first dancer is able to be so expressive with the aid of the slower tempo. I can't imagine why it's been speeded up over the years, to the obvious detriment of what the dancer can do within that tempo constraint.

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.

Yes, she brings out the fairy like noone. Number 3 reminded me weirdly of swanlake. The arm movements are too fluid and not accentuated and abrupt enough to make it look as funny and cute as number 1.
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’m not a dancer, but I love seeing The Nutcracker every Christmas. It wasn’t until watching this video of the first dancer that I remembered that the Sugar Plum Fairy was supposed to be a toy. It was a much more interesting and magical performance from the first dancer with her precise, stiff, movements than the last one who was too smooth.

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...

Want to see a completely different performance of this is to watch Alicia Markova dancing it old footage with music added but my God how different it is. So much more too it and she is so light on her feet and although tiny is not like a stick insect. A lot of modern arrangements are far too stiff and correct for my liking. No.1 is the best for me, much more natural, if you can call any sugar plum natural😂.
Not a dancer but musician, is incredible how the first dancer was following the music, her feet moves and body follows the music compass, her body express the music language, delicate notes delicate steps, strong notes more pirouettes and jumps. The first one is much better.

Efremova is not dancing as the Sugar Plum Fairy. She looked like she IS the Sugar Plum Fairy ❤️. 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.

All three dances are beautiful, but the bounce that the first one's skirt has really adds to the choreography imo, it's more delicate and flower like
Efremova, the first one, is pure perfection. As in other comments, Sugarplum musicality is dificult and with many dancers it does not make sense and the whole thing ends up feeling akward to watch, kind of clumsy. Efremova perfect technique and musicality makes it a delight, if you don´t know ballet, itwill seem as if she is not doing much, but if you know ballet you know what she is doing is absolutely astonishing. In both cases you will feel mesmerised by this "little" dance.

Jumping or hopping en pointe is very sore and there was a lot of that in this solo.

These are all very true, but not really impactful enough to skew the opinion. The dance overall is much more controlled when Efremova performed. Even the pace is better.
Костюм проще, а техника исполнения лучше. Браво Ефремова. 🌹🌹🌹
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.
Svetlana Efremova from 1960 is the most enchanting. She has precision, grace and musicality that the later ballerinas don't even approach.
У Ефремовой танец лёгкий ,волшебный,глаз не оторвать !
Ефремова смотрит на каждый пальчик руки, провожая взглядом руки. Это волшебно. А так же чувство музыкальной фразы позволяет ей быть очень гармоничной. Безусловно две последующие балерины прекрасны, но мне почему-то не хватает этого волшебства Ефремовой.

Wow... The dancer from the 60s has very refined and expressive dance. It's not even about technicity, it's more about pauses and meaningful phrases expressed through subtle dance movements. I'm not a big expert in ballet, but I either feel it or not. The first one was the best for me.
Ефремова как эфир. Все восхитительно, даже ее платье понравилось больше. Оно какое-то мистическое. Супер. Спасибо, что показали такой шедевр.

The other dancers should study carefully the absolute classical beauty and flawless technique of Efremova. These are truly lost elements in the art form today. Her eppaulement is just extraordinary. Happy Holidays everyone! ❤️

I don't think it's the other dancers who are the problem. It's the choreographers and directors.

It's not the fault of the dancers how they are being taught and the different physical aspects they have to deal with now in ballet.

There is no fault with the dancers in my opinion. Just an interpretation of technique. I really appreciate the classical details and expression in Efremova's technique. It's her personal interpretation, especially in her eppaulement.

Efremova’s technique is rock solid. Her turns are like a metronome, with no finessing the final turn. Yet. I prefer the ethereal quality and bountiful bourrées of the following ballerina.

Same. Everything else about Evremova I was nodding going "looks strong" and then she'd start one of those turns as the music descends and it wouldn't quite line up

@@katyabo1461 I have noticed that problem with a lot of the modern-day dancers. I think it's because ballet is viewed as more of a sport so they try to be as flamboyant as possible rather than making sure they're staying in time with the actual music.

@@rokelle_2012 agreed totally. Also the aesthetic requirement of very long legs has slowed down the overall performance tempo and the weird obsession with higher legs over épaulement and keeping turnout is kind of derailing the technical basis in the long run
The first, Efremova, is my favorite by far. There is a delicacy to her performance that fits the music and story. Her arm movements alone are graceful and captivating. Even her facial expression is part of the dance and story. Not really an evolution after her. Thanks for posting and happy holiday!

Delicacy is a perfect word for her. Being light on one's feet is not about body type or frame.
у первой танцовщицы лучше всех получился танец, а не просто "упорядоченные движения". Связь с музыкой какая! Все выверено, все в такт!
Ефремова просто разлила магию по сцене....завораживающе, волшебно! Удивительно музыкально! Каждое движение пальчика и даже наверное дыхание в музыке и с музыкой...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The first dancers perfect synchronization with the little dings of the song was beautiful!
Lovely to see Efremova shown here who was so never seemed to get the recognition she deserved for her graceful poise and technical polish.
И всё же Ефремова! У неё больше артистичности, она - Фея! Остальные хороши, но у них больше от гимнастики.
I'm not a dancer and I don't watch ballet but seriously the first dancer mesmerized me. The way she moved its like she was the one creating the music. I was in awe....every move was fluid and graceful as if she's flooting in the air. There's ethereal and elegance in her performance. She looks like a visual manifestation of the very music being played. Unlike the other two who look like there is a check list that they need to meet at a certain section of the music. It felt rushed. But what do I know🤷. An ignorant on classical ballet but was captivated by the first dancer.....
Да, Светлана Ефремова восхитительна! Аж дрожь в коленках! Несколько раз пересмотрела. 👍💐
That first dance was incredible. She was so delicate and graceful it felt so euphoric as she skipped and floated through a field of sugar plums. What extraordinary technique and skill she has. I especially enjoyed watching her retreat, her neck and limbs were so rigid yet appeared so natural. What an amazing artform. Mad respect
Ефремова очень понравилась-настоящая Фея !
The leg strength on these women is incredible! But the first one was ABSOLUTE grace! It was just gorgeous!
As a no- dancer can I say that the version of 1960 is my absolut favorit. So innocent......👍💕
Svetlana Efremova ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I am inspired most by her ❤️(Edited to include that her strength and technical abilities is evidence of what a true master she was, and who her professors and teachers were).
I dont think anyone really mentioned this but I love how much more the skirt bounces at that certain part of the song, its so fun to watch
Esfremova! Very contained, precise, and musical with no high legs to distract. And beautiful, fast turns. I don't see her weight as more than today's dancers as some of the comments say.
The first one is seriously the best. I know literally nothing about ballet, but she was actually dancing to the music. Also I'm always impressed when the dancers in the back are completely still. That is amazing. I can't sit still like that at all. hah!
I saw the Nutcracker performed at the Mariinsky in December 2021. It was simply magical: knowing that I was in the same building where the ballet had premiered under Tchaikovsky's conducting so long ago, it was like being transported into the past, even if the dances have changed slightly over the years. It's always the senior recital of the Vaganova Ballet Academy, and the dancers are simply unmatched.
The artistry in the 1960’s was just lovely.
Efremova was amazing in that piece. Her skill & timing were just breath taking & yet also a joy to watch.
Так лучше всего из 60х: самая музыкальное, чистое, изысканное исполнение. Чем больше по времени вперёд, тем более размазанное(((
Прекрасны все балерины!!!!!это питерская балетная школа!!!!!! Сколько изящества,сколько женственности!!!!!браво!!!!!и всё-таки,Ефремова -лучшая!!!!!!
Efremova is in a different league to the other two. Just wow.
Wow, Efremova actually moved with the music inside her. The others just snapped to their marks and went through the motions. Some of that may have been advice from the director, too.
Definitely I vote for the 1960 version.
Обворожительная первая танцовщица (Ефремова) танцует душой. В ней всё балетное и танцевальное. Она фея из детской сказки. Фея! Недостижимая и загадочная, такая может исполнить любое детское мечтание! Она лучшая!
Да, у Ефремовой всё математически только, все жесты, движения идеальны. И одухотворены.
The first lovely lady really takes her time and nails it because of this. She works WITH the music.
The same with gymnastics, older dancers were more graceful than todays but todays do inimaginable things with their body. I wish they could be a bit more artistic than fully technical. Like the first one, she seems that’s she’s floating as a fairy would do. All of them beautiful but still there’s something about older dancers. 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 . Everything changes with time, Im not saying old times are better but I wish they could bring back some of that magic from the past.
Все прекрасны! Но пересматривать хочется только Ефремову👍🦋

The first woman was really in her element with this dance
Как три хрустальных куколки станцевали 🥹 Это было ВОЛШЕБНО 👏🥹🌷🌷🌷
Efremova was divine! I was mesmerized.
В первом танце больше событий происходит - каждое движение наполнено содержанием, завораживает не столько техника, сколько истории рассказанные в танце наклонами головы, улыбками, маленькими движениями, составляющими сюжет. В двух других отрывках мы смотрим на красивые движения, но в сюжет они не складываются, зрителю даже кажется, что сам танец короче, хотя он длится ровно столько же и укладывается в одну и ту же музыку.
Just in awe with Efremova, who perfectly and properly ends each movement and is in complete harmony with the music.
Первая лучше всех ! Прямо куколка !!!😍🌺🌺🌺💐
i learned this version and i studied the Efremova and the Maximova tapes. this was always the *only* sugarplum that made sense to me. it's the only choreography that matches the music the way i hear it. this is the only one that i will perform (a difficult task for me, because i'm much taller, lankier and less refined than these classic ballerinas) but i just cant stand some of the other versions that seem to go completely against the music and skip right over all these beautiful details
With my layman eyes I can definitely see the beautiful technique of the first one. The last one was totally off beat with the steps. Love the less stiff tutu of the first one as well
Idk much about ballet, but the first one looks so sync with the music and it's satisfying
I like the 1960s one for the impact the twirls had-actually made me say “wow” due to how crisp they were. And the tutu was more expressive too. The dance seemed to fit the music better.
The first one looks like she is weightless. So beautiful to watch, so calm. The last one is just a mess.
Если сравнить танцовщиц, то Ефремова- совершенство.
Efremova is really magnificent to watch
The first dancer was magical. Just perfect
Why is the first one the best? It looks just perfect!
Efremova amazing the older ballerinas back in the day were better than now.
Honestly, Efremova was the best. Great technique and so much grace and dignity!
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.
Wow! The forst ballerina is everything I wantwd to be when I was young and danced ballet. She's grace. Ballet was so magical!
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.
