Her foot movements express an Inseparability with Time, Space & Matter. Her precision truly takes my breath away. I couldn't help but notice this in a NYCB's Production of The Nutcracker dancing "Dewdrop". She was not unlike watching a Hummingbird and you're trying to catch the shift in wings - it truly was something to behold.

There you go! That was it . . . . . that is HOW IT’S DONE ! ! Way to go Chudin! Way to go Ashley! The audience is supposed to be on the edge of their seats wondering if the dancer is going to make it. We know how challenging it is, we know it is challenging the dancers, and it is exhilarating to see the dancers push themselves to their limits. I don’t know if Chudin agrees, but I’m glad the conductor didn’t slow down the music for him . . . . . . although, maybe he should have held off on that last note for Chudin to finish the tour on his knee.

For those commenting about the fish dives. Yes they were a bit off but the original Balanchine choreography actually called for straight legs (standing up) into the dive where the ballerina's nose is close to the floor. The first one actually wasn't too bad and I appreciate the attempt to be true to the original choreography.

Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only person in the universe who remembered that catch not being a traditional fish dive, which is how most Russian dancers seem to do it.I think you see the problem more when he's setting her down in arabesque than on the actual catch.

Yes, my mother described watching Suzanne Farrell perform this Coda and said it was so exciting to watch because Farrell jumped from far away and went for it every time way before her partner was ready to catch.

Ashley Boulder fully embodies an American ballerina - power, control, sharpness and excitement. I’m not sure if that’s what Mr. Balanchine set out to be, but nowadays Balanchine style certainly gets closer to modern style that excites certain crowd. To me, the highest achievement in Balanchine style is extremely isolation of upper body (which remains soft and graceful and all lines of the body and eyes and facial expression) and legs and feet. Meaning they are still sharp and quick but the upper body is dancing. At 6:25, her neck line is broken, but it’s nuances like that what makes a performance a little more exciting and joyful to the eyes.

Thank you very much for posting this! Someone else posted it a while back, but somehow the sound wasn't synchronized correctly with the video so it looked like she was always off the music. So glad to see how it looks on tempo! Although I spoke a little too soon - he's great but behind the music! Lol, maybe that's why last time I thought she was at fault, because the music was synchronized just a little behind the video so he finished on the beat but she finished her variation early.

First time I've seen Bouder, and holy cow! Not only a great technician but a great artist. Her phrasing is just yummy and her technique and Balanchine style (plus her style within the Balanchine style, if that makes sense) are incredible. I've seen Chudin dance so much with Smirnova (and that's a nice partnership) that I may feel the stylistic mismatch a bit more than some. Still, gorgeous feet, gorgeous elevation, gorgeous placement. The Balanchine aesthetic is just a little challenging to capture if you've trained in Vaganova. Thanks for posting!

Bless them both-- Chudin does seem to miss the point with the Balanchine qualities of attack and boisterous consumption of space, but you can, I think, tell in his face he's doing his best. He's not dummy and aware he's late, behind the music. And Ashley, she just works to shine bright enough for the two of them and has fun with what it is for them in that moment (although there's one moment in her second variation I think where then port de bras of her attitude whacks (LOL, work!) gets a bit behind her head). Kudos to them for staying professional on stage in spite of it all !

Swan Lake Op. 20 No.20 (sometimes its No. 19b) Act III: Pas de deux. It might not be in some albums because it was not part of the original score. Tchaikovsky hastily composed it after the completion of the score for Sobeshchanskaya as per her request for new choreography for the Act III pas de deux. She asked Petipa for new choreography and Petipa set a new pas de deux for her to Minkus’ music. Tchaikovsky was angered by this and composed a completely new grand pas de deux for her to match Petipa’s choreography. It was believed to be lost as it was never part of the original score but it was found in the Bolshoi archives in 1953. Balanchine caught wind of this and sought permission to use it for this pas de deux.
