On today's episode of "Ballet Deconstructed", I analyze and react to Natalia Osipova's incredible jumping ability. Her jumps are the best in the business, and while there is a lot of natural ability involved, here are the tricks I have found! Enjoy my breakdown of Laurencia, Flames of Paris, and Kitri Act 1 Variation.

Watching Marienela is like a meditation, so clean and pure. Watching Osipova is like watching a firework.

@Emmareads15 Год назад

They are so different but both so great. I compare them to Federer and Nadal

@Teverell Год назад

@@Emmareads15 I went and watched Marienela's Kitri after Katie's deep dive into her turns and she and Natalia are both incredible in showing the Spanish fire yet they're so different, too - and the same with their Giselle interpretations. Both stunning, both with incredible artistry yet both so different. There is a very good reason they are both principals with the Royal Ballet!!

@Emmareads15 Год назад

@@Teverell Both of their Kitri's are stunning and very different. I love how they both have their own take. Watching Nela do those turns, hitting that fifth as if it's the easiest thing and the beauty of the line in her jumps. And Natalia, she has this burst of energy. Both great and distinctive ballerinas.

@catherinecarterartstudio Год назад

Perfectly stated!

@konstantinosdafos6603 5 месяцев назад

You pronounce her name, especially the first time, almost as she pronounces it herself and that's what we should always do with foreign names. It's doubtful if such athletic ability and grace simultaneously in one person have ever existed. No matter how much we analyze it, what she does cannot be taught, she is unique.

@yaelsbookthoughts9792 Год назад

What I love about Osipova is her musicality. She makes me understand the music. When she dances ballet it almost feels like she's breathing. Like it's second nature and she can let her emotions fly. I've never seen anyone quite as artless (in the sincere sense) as her.

@selini52 Год назад

As a dancer this is always my first thing, do dancers make row of technique or are they able to dance to the music and that is Osipova!

@najah7781 Год назад

I was very fortunate to see Natalia in Mayerling at ROH a few years ago. It isn't a jumpy role at all, but her technique was stellar. In the flames pas de deux... Ivan Vasiliev is already a pretty powerful jumper, the fact that she jumps as high as a man is flipping insane

@vermillion9nelson188 Год назад

I love her Giselle - extremely emotionally immature in first act and a mature, grown-up in second act (as though the act of dying has made her an adult). It's the only way, frankly, that the ballet makes sense, if indeed, we can expect sense from a fairy tale-style, story ballet. And then, Carlos! The finer nuances of their acting, in both acts, is just superb. Gold standard Giselle. It's the hill I will die on.

@truecynic1270 Год назад

Osipova is almost supernatural. So beautiful, graceful and remarkably strong! Your commentary is excellent!

@balletwithisabella Год назад

I remember dancing a Mikhailovsky with osipova when she worked there. We asked her so what do you think about when you jump? She said…. “Push forwards with your glutes!!” Basically use your butt. Oh man it helps. ❤️

@vivianruiz3481 Год назад

Could you explain this further in a video? What comes to mind is clenching my glutes, but I don't think that's what she meant😅

@Are_We_Having_Tea Год назад

@@vivianruiz3481 like a runner, she drives her hips forward by pushing through her knees, ankles and toes hard into the floor*. Before her jump her ankles and knees are bent and her foot is flattened out on the floor. You’ll note that while her weight is forward, her whole foot is flat on the floor. She is doing what is called in kinesiology “loading” her muscles. Then from that muscle-loaded position she’s able to use her glutes to fire all down her leg chain to the final flick of her toes pushing off the floor. The muscle action starts with her glutes. That gives her the propulsion to A) get her legs up quickly and B) get her really high in the air. If you watch the level of her hips, you see how high she is getting in relation to the people standing behind her, she’s jumping up not forward, she just has so much momentum and is so high she travels a long way. She used her glissade to propel her jump the same way a gymnast uses their jump onto a springboard to propel them onto a vault. Try landing your glissade with a deeper plié but immediately launch your jump. * When you are running and your glutes are driving you forward, it literally feels like someone has their hands underneath your bum muscles and is pushing you up and forward.

@johnjairo1554 10 месяцев назад

@@vivianruiz3481 You need to keep your glutes engaged to propel your hips into the air, but very important to not tuck under. I either imagine my seat bones lifting (or a cartoon getting slapped in the butt and jumping like crazy haha ).

@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 Год назад

These videos are very helpful because while it's useful to have a pro say, "That's an example of good technique", it's actually more useful for a pro to tell us the *how* of the technique. I could watch Marianella or Natalia & naturally fangirl a lot, but not spot that they keep their upper bodies up a certain way, push off with their toes a certain way, etc. And those are the details which help dance students improve their own technique. So, thank you. 😊 Also, one of the reasons why dancers appear to float has to do with conservation of momentum. Your center of mass travels in a parabola when you jump. If you get your arms & legs up faster, you're essentially manipulating where your center of mass is in relation to your head (your CoM is higher when your arms & legs are higher), so it looks like you're floating. That takes ridiculous amounts of skill to do. Edit: spelling, physics explanation

@jessaglenny Год назад

Her feet are insanely strong, which is why she can wear the famously dead shoes, and the deadness of the shoes enables her to really use her feet to get off the ground.

@Are_We_Having_Tea Год назад

She’s got killer calf muscles! She also uses her glissade really well. Her fore-foot is flattening on the floor, her ankles and knees are bent and all her muscles have loaded. She drives down into the floor initiating the push from her glutes all the way down to her toes. That explosion of energy allows her to get really high in the air and allows her to get her legs up really fast. It’s a technique that’s more frequently seen in and taught to men rather than ladies. Instead of thinking of “lifting” or “kicking” up their legs it’s “exploding” off of the floor as hard and as fast as you can which just isn’t language or a visual that’s generally used with the ladies classes. It really starts with the glissade, in order to go up you have to go down (in kinesiology- muscle loading) first.

@nectarina3891 Год назад

She has said she takes mens class

@annanelsen1836 Год назад

I was thinking that exact point about her using men's techniques for her toes. Its very obvious in the beginning of the pas de duex shown

@rebelmama37 4 месяца назад

There is an interview by Joy Womack where she describes being allowed to take the men's class at the Bolshoi and she learned completely different technique for jumps that is not taught to women...She said it completely changed her dancing.

@elizabethhorn976 Год назад

I took ballet years ago, and my teacher emphasized "traveling" and jumping. Yes, part of the secret is speed and getting into poses instantly. For the jumps: she pushes with heels and toes. Any floor is a trampoline at that speed: you think of the floor moving, and use every muscle in the leg, hips through toes. In her case, watch videos of her in the past. One trick was that she took men's classes to concentrate on strength. When everybody in class is jumping high and traveling, it's hard to just do a little and call it a day. Men's work has more leg exercises as well. More dancers should jump and travel more, but some dancers have too many problems like shin splints and can't, so there is one more big thing people don't notice: landings. People don't notice that what goes up must go down, and that takes many Barre exercises that use speed: strict frappés in the correct 3 to 1 rhythm, etc. Pick feet up in piqué (and reaching lets the legs absorb energy too), and keep conscious of every nanosecond of the jumps takeoff and landing. I was watching videos of her a decade ago; just think about the care of doing exercises correctly every day of her career; that is what it takes. That toe press is felt in the glutes. A coupé is often used as preparation for jetés to take less time in preparation, and give more time for the leap. These steps are not even the most spectacular of her leaps in videos.

@bethanneblackclosetomyheart Год назад

I love watching her jump in any ballet, and especially in Giselle. She is just otherworldly! ❤

@cathryncampbell8555 Год назад

Kathryn, *Thank You* for your wonderful analysis of Osipova's techniques! I have long regarded her as one of the best ballet dancers, but *you* have explained how she accomplishes 'miracles' on stage. I read somewhere that Osipova trained first as a gymnast, which makes me wonder how that fed into her ballet training. One last point: Osipova clearly *enjoys* her time on stage, which enhances the experience for her audience

This might be two sides of the same coin? If your feet are phenomenally strong then you will not want a shoe which is rigid. I also imagine that the force of her feet destroys shoes pretty fast? The shoes don’t have a chance against those feet!

@Teverell Год назад

She also darns the heck out of them to give her a bigger platform - the part of the shoe in contact with the floor when the dancer is on pointe. (I watch the Pointe Shop channel, there are some really interesting videos on how different dancers prepare their pointe shoes even before they wear them once!)

Thank you so much for the analysis. This is immensely helpful. Another thing I noticed with her, especially in the pique turns, is how deep her plié is.

Oh thank you, Kathryn!! I love Osipova, she's an artistic bomb going off on stage in the best way possible. I know it wasn't the point of the video but I also LOVE how her technique depending on the role isn't as 'clean' as other ballerinas' but carries much more depth and drama, like her Nikiya in La Bayadere. Could you maybe do a video about Zakharova? She's by far one of the most famous ballerinas and she excels in ethereal roles like Odette.
