I have seen many respected ballerinas perform this variation from "Don Q" but never have I been so impressed with the technical and musical phrasing as I am watching Maria Ricceto as she gives this performance.Her technique is perfect.Her musicality is inspiring.Her characterization of "Amor" or "Cupid" is delightful.I love how she attacks her soutenou (sp?)a little haphazardly to show the reckless side of love.In my opinion NO ONE DOES IT BETTER.Her Gaynors look great too!

She really uses her arms and facial expression to complement her amazing dancing!

Fabulous! She really captures the character!

I love her she is amazing

I love her too, wonderful performance

SHE IS AMAZING! Her technique was beautiful, I loved it! She really made me believe that she was cupid!
