And here she is dancing to that glorious music so calmly and still with that gorgeous smile. Notice how she always has her chest high and open – shoulders back; arms reaching out. Amazing

ARTISTRY IN MOTION #18: Marianela Nunez – Tchaikovksy Pas de Deux Solo
Notice all the levels she takes her body to. And at the end, notice the completely extended arms as she goes into each turn. And always that joyous sparkling smile – reminds me of Violette Verdy
ARTISTRY IN MOTION #17: Tiler Peck & Les Carillons
Tiler Peck of NYCB discusses “Les Carillons” by Chris Wheeldon. Worth watching to see Tiler and Sara Mearns parts of the premier performance. Two very special dancers of our time!
ARTISTRY IN MOTION #16: Makarova & Nagy in Swan Lake Act 2
ARTISTRY IN MOTION #15 – David Hallberg dances Albrecht in Giselle Act II
He dances with controlled abandon, classical restraint, and fiery passion. Thrilling performance!
ARTISTRY IN MOTION #14: Marianela in Giselle Act I
Such ease, such naturalness, so effortless. And that lovely natural smile as she acknowledges the people around her. Never any tension. Energy radiates equally in all directions, every moment. Her musicality is exceptional.
ARTISTRY IN MOTION #13: Marianela Nunez as Gamzatti in Bayadere
How gorgeous she is. She is beautifully dressed in a costume which seems to be a part of her body and complements every move. Notice how she has such complete freedom of movement and expressiveness in her torso. And such soft arms as she extends her legs. Mesmerizing.
