You know that someone has mastered the art when they've made it seem effortless.

Traditionally, the most advanced and best female dancer of the production is given the honor of being the Sugar Plum Fairy. That is because the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is the most advanced ballet number to dance in the whole show. This production's Sugar Plum Fairy is no exception to this tradition. Her grace, poise and elegance are evident in every gesture and movement as it should be, and she flies seemingly with little to no effort on the floor, as if she had a pair of delicate fairy wings with which to hover with. This delicate song and her delicate dancing make for one spectacular performance that will be treasured always, thanks to KZread.

While the dancing is amazing, I think this is one of the best choreographed Sugar Plum dances ever. It engages with the timing of the music (which keeps the attention of children) and does not have overly repetitive movements, instead utilizing the full space of the stage and letting her flit to and fro like a fairy
An absolute delight! Flawless, technically and musically. Not a single pirouette is short, whether it is 720, or 1080, fully completed, then she gentle floats down with the notes where the music calls for. Always in complete control with not a whiff of strain, or even effort. Her grace and ease does not even make you think about control!! In addition, a nice surprise: in this day and age, there are still millions of people who can appreciate the ethos of classical ballet, grace under pressure. Bravo!!
Because the dancer makes it look so effortless, most people don't realize how much effort the right control of her body takes

@Crow There's a difference between being 'skinny' and 'muscular and toned'. 'Skinny' is a person with a low fat percentage but also a low muscle mass, with a borderline unhealthy weight. A 'muscular and toned' person also has a low fat percentage, but their weight is appropriate as they compensate their lack of fat with muscle mass. Nina Kaptsova is muscular and toned, not skinny, and she's most likely healthier than 99% of the people around. Besides, petite frames are quite typical for Eastern European women. Just because borderline obese people have become the norm in the US and the UK, it doesn't mean that's how it should be.

Perfection. And I love how she smiles and actually plays out the character.
She is one of the most graceful dancers I’ve seen. She came in with graceful and delicate movements even before she started dancing. A favorite as of right now.

"Before classical ballet developed, ballet was in a period referred to as the Romantic era. Romantic ballet was known for its storytelling, and often held a softer aesthetic. Classical ballet came to be when a ballet master by the name of Marius Petipa (who is considered to be one of the greatest choreographers of all time) took Romantic ballet and combined it with different aspects of Russian ballet technique (as Petipa was once a choreographer and ballet master at Mariinsky Ballet). Elements pulled from these things include the storytelling found in Romantic ballet, and the athleticism of Russian technique. Therefore, a new era of ballet, which later became known as the classical era, began."
She was absolutely stunning!! As a recently retired ballerina, I see everything with a critical eye. She was extrodinary!!

I agree with you! There's this sort of delicacy, fluid movement, precision and weightlessness that I didn't see in any other performances. Even Lauren Cuthbertson from the The Royal Ballet didn't give me the same feeling. Her movement is not as 'open', and sometimes feels heavy. It may also has something to do with how Nina's body is built. She is very petite and her bones are very delicate.

I love the raucous applause. It tells me how excited the audience is. Many of us live in countries where we associate quiet audiences with high art, but it's not that way everywhere, and even in the West it used to be commonplace to applaud between movements if symphonies instead of being silent. Audiences in Shakespeare's time were hardly quiet. They were noisy and boisterous.

Tech_Demon it’s called foot arch, some ballerinas may be born with it but most have to stretch them ceaselessly in a very young age in order to get that beautiful arch.
It may look like the girl who is dancing has the hardest job but the people standing the whole time in the background do. How? They have to: • Hold one position perfectly unless all move at one •maintain balance usually on one leg because not weight should be on the pointed, if pointed, foot • Hold a perfect position • keep a smile on their face no matter how much pain their in Trust me, it sucks... But they all were beautiful and amazing

you can just see how happy dancing makes her. this is so beautiful :)
The level of perfection of this performance it's just insane
Being more scientific rather than artistic, I can measure this performance from my angle. I did not care much when the video did not show her full body as one can only comment on her facial beauty, which is an added bonus to the motion she is required to perform. Showing her dynamic actions, it is clear that this young woman has the right inertia in all the right places coupled with a brilliant mental controlling action to produce a pleasant movement in three dimensions. The manner in which she moves across the stage is elegant and so graceful in every manner and at all times her center of gravity is perfectly lined up with her point of contact on the ground and when motion is required she leans away in the required direction to produce the right acceleration, hence velocity and position without ever overshooting and ringing her final position. When she raises her leg in whatever direction she cares to chose, she counteracts her leg by the right body and upper arm movement, again with the acceleration and retardation being perfectly damped while her waving arms and fingers contribute so nicely to the grace of motion. When she flies across the stage in a rotating action as in 2:27 her vertical head undulations and rotations are complex and hesitation is involved in each turn to get her right bearing, while her legs are synchronized and follow a trajectory where a lift is included at the right moment so that the feet pass over each other to keep them close not to lose the elegance of overall outer contour shape. At all times, while in symmetry and unsymmetrical pose, the balance is perfectly brilliant under full control of a super-scientific human mind. She is not only an artist but is conscious of all the processes required in all the states of an automatic control system including a fewer higher rate of changes that see to the damping and timing of the next desired position. Absolutely full marks in all the areas an artist and an engineer can think of. I would also give full marks to the audience for the feedback they gave her, she deserves all the encouragement she can get as this fuels her next performance. Congratulations to all, including the musicians and stage setters and organizers and anyone else I left out.

She is absolutely amazing, she transports me right to that beautiful feeling only the Nutcracker can do. Such a strong and stunning dancer, definitely one of the best Sugarplum's I've had the joy of watching.

That's the point. In ballet, all our teachers tell us to try and make it look easy, even though getting up to that point is so hard.
The joy of being alive at the very here and now has never been more aptly exulted than what is gleaned thru this most masterful of performances. Bravo!!
ballet is the dance of perfection - the art of perfectionism at its finest.
Everything about this is stellar. Her dancing is so elegant but this symphony is superb. The bells in this song are so enchanting I always get chills. Imagine having melodies this beautiful trapped in your brain. Tchaikovsky was a genius!!!
