Nutcracker Variation & Coda - Polunin, Kimin Kim & Kumakawa 

Polounin is amazing but Kim is more elegant, all of his movements are full of grace, Polounin is is a little dry but Kumakawa is unbelievable , i saw him a long time ago he was outstanding.The three have a high level of technique👏👏🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠👏👏👏🌠🌠🌠🌺🌠🌺

Каждый хорош по-своему. Все прекрасны . Для меня Полунин самый-самый!😢

Io adoro Kim Kimin per la sua grazia, la sua eleganza innata, per i suoi voli che si innalzano senza gravità, è un angelo che danza con dolce armonia, come una piuma leggera, ... Una tecnica perfetta, uno spettacolo meraviglioso per gli occhi! 😍👏🏻👏🏻💯 Senza voler fare appunti anzi ringraziando chi si è speso per farci vedere tali fantastici video Sergei Polunin è invece un ballerino estremamente talentuoso, in questi video di danza classica "tradizionale" non mostra il meglio di sé, ma ha una natura selvaggia e ribelle, non per niente viene definito l'erede del Grande Rudolph Nureyev, anche lui ha potenza, fuoco e carisma sul palco. Però queste qualità emergono di più in video artistici di danza e musiche contemporanee. Lì si vede un grande artista, un genio della danza insuperabile, veramente un prosecutore di Nureyev. Kumakawa è un bravo ballerino. Però a mio parere non ha carisma, non mi trasmette alcuna emozione, non si mangia il palco, un po' come R.Bolle... Vorrei ricordare che Nureyev con la sua sola presenza ipnotizzava tutti gli sguardi... Una personalità incredibilmente carismatica, una potenza indomabile e un fuoco interiore selvaggio unito ad una tecnica perfetta, con coreografie che hanno stravolto e cambiato per sempre la storia della Danza contemporanea.

КИМИН КИМ ПРЕКРАСЕН 💐💐💐💐💖💖💖💖 СПОСИБО ВАМ

Кимин Ким невероятен, изящество, легкость, филигранная точность. Два других танцовщмка очень талантливы. Но от Кимина душа просто поет. Смотрела бы 24 часа в сутки. Уникальное мастерство у него, особенное. Браво.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Все молодцы, но я влюблена в Кимина

I also love Kim, he is a sea full of charm and energy

Kimin the best of course

The grand jetes of Kumakawa were outstanding.He was member of the🎉🎉 jury of Lausanne 😢😢😢

Да, лучше нашего Кимина нет. И даже атмосфера на сцене чувствуется, возможно само видео лучше.

Kumakawa the best . Polunin also superb

С нашим Кимином никто не может сравниться! Его полеты над сценой безукоризненно техничны и легки, не зря Кимина называют у нас повелителем воздуха! Он потрясающий!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ На мой взгляд Полунин распиарен, а Кумакава немного тяжеловесен, но это моё мнение. Спасибо за подборку, очень интересно сравнить.

All three are impressive masters of their art: Polunin flies in his leaps and his assembles are particularly impressive. He could have more expressiveness in this variation imo. Kim is endearing through his charm and ease of technical perfection ALL the way through, and he has greater elegance of style than the other two. Kumakawa is the most original in style and interpretation. He dances with snappy electricity that is so exciting! His incredible strength of control shows in his perfectly held stops in contrast to the flow of his dancing, and here these stops show up as his unique artistry. Bravo to all three these dancers. Thank you BunduBallerina, it is fascinating.

All three are brilliant, but Kimin Kim is better!

~ interesting contrasts of style and emphasis

Sergei Polunin is the best dancer in the world ❤❤

I am unfamiliar with Kumakawa and after seeing him dance here I want to see more. A very pleasant morning surprise. Bundu Ballerina, thank you for this compilation.

Каждый хорош по своему!!!! Выбирай на вкус!!!

They all have their own strengths and its unfair to compare them imo. The amount of time Polounin has in the air is amazing and his big leaps are just so satisfying to watch (my personal favourite). Kim dances more elegantly and gracefully, and Kumakawa demonstrates more strength although i feel like he could have smiled a bit more

Безумно понравилось 3 е соло !!! Кимин тоже задел, я даже стал хлопать сидя у экрана, супер ! Сергей Полунин сделал всё весьма аккуратно, на профессиональном механизме, энергетика не чувствовалась в его исполнении. Чисто, красиво, аккуратно, весьма эстетично, но мёртво, без жизни.

Спасибо за ваши публикации. 💐

It was a pleasure to watch each dancer who has great energy, wonderful stage presence and beautiful artistry. As always thank you!! 💝💝💝

Все замечательно, но Полунин очень очень замечательно

Thank youBerryMatch。💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

This is a very interesting compilation @ BB - - and we thank you for it❗ To me - - Kimin Kim is an imposing and a very talented dancer. I like his cabriole dèrrieré - - starting at @ 2.09 until @ 2.16 and then - - his grand jeté in attitude @ 2.29❗ Tetsuya Kumakawa is another talented dancer - - for sure. I gazed at Kumakawa intently - - while he danced - - wherein at @ 3.57 he executes - - nice straight leg grand jetés - - and then at @ 4.06 he does - - a single tour en l'air turn - - and a high grand jeté dèveloppé combination - - then on landing - - he executes beautiful multiple pirouettes❗ They're all great dancers - - even tho of course - - I tend to favour Polunin a lot ❗

Мой выбор Сергей Полунин. Идеальный баланс техники и артистизма. И Кимин и Тецуя блестящие виртуозы, больше в тезническом плане. Но это только мое мнение.

Kumakawa was so otherworldly compared to the other two ... He seemed to have extraordinary control and each second he moved was a perfect picture

I'm glad you found the Nutcracker video I shared on my channel useful. Compilations of various dancers can be great ways to introduce people to dancers they hadn't seen before.

Thank so much for this video. Amazing balerins. Bucharest, Roumanie

Textbook double tours and assembles en tournants. Interesting contrast of styles with Kumakawa intentionally staccato. Prefer Kim's fluid elegance but gotta respect that perfect control of phrasing. Thx for posting!

Bravissimo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Thank you so very much for sharing this. It was fun to watch.

Nice ❤❤❤

Ким Ки Мин самый лучший. Полунин пытался импровизировать, на мой взгляд неудачно.

The dancers all bring considerable jumps. - But my favorit is Jacopo Tissi. He is more elegant.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🙏🕊💫💫💫💫✨

Nice to see this three🤩! I miss Malakhov ?!

Элегантный Кумакава, Ким, легкий как пушинка. Извините, но Полунин смотрится тяжеловесом, когда он прыгает, ощущение, что раздастся грохот

Все хороши, но Кимин-эти зависания в воздухе...

Polunin is by far the best, a true treasure. The other two seemed more like gymnasts than dancers.

Polunin batte gli altri due , non di molto , quanto basta.

Polunin has poor arm control; look at Kim and that’s how elegant and intelligent dancing is performed. Polunin is so famous only because of extreme PR. There are many much better dancers.

Well done. All three showed good performances. Are they special? I do not think so. In my opinion Kim and Kumakawa are not well suited for Nutcracker. Kim is amazing in Don Quixote. As always it is very thoughtful selection from BunduBallerina. Thank you.

It's difficult to compare them because the tempo of the music is so ridiculously slow in Polunin's section. IMO, this is a toxic characteristic of ballet performance in Russia which is highly disrespectful to the composer. They're all wonderful dancers.
