The number of rating video has is more than 80 and the average rating is 4.68 which is high because as I said earlier the stills there in this video are captured and arranged beautifully and people will love to watch it again and again. Most of the comments are favorable. The post is quite old so the last comment received was two moths back and there are no new comments after that. The comment I like most is from shannnateng which says “Hi Thanks so much for sharing your art work, I enjoy it alot, I guess you put the photos to match the music timing and the soung? I like it so much, hope can see your work again, lovely music”. Well people with artistic taste of any gender or age group will watch this video especially girls. Ballet professionals and students too will watch this video and this can be used as a part of dance tutorial to brief the students about different postures.

Sumo Wrestler Ballerina Dancing

A girl at a ballet studio is dressed up like a sumo-wrestler in a ballet outfit. Her friends laugh as she does some ballet moves in the giant suit.
It was filmed in a rather large ballet studio with large windows but little natural light.
It has about 58,500 views.
The video is definitely most popular in the U.S. but also has made some appearances in Australia, South America, and Canada.
Females of all ages have enjoyed this video.
The interest in this video was rather gradual, but has increased greatly in the last 2 years or so.

A 4.2 star average rating was given by the 119 people rating.
It may have this high rating because it is pretty funny and not all that typical to see of a character on stage.
Almost all of the comments were very praiseworthy. Many people laughed quite a bit, others said that she was still good even though she was in the costume. There were also many thumbs up and no thumbs down.
A great comment was from ‘xChocolateKittyx’ who said, “HAHH it’s hilarious she sure is a great ‘fat’ ballerina! okay lemme rephrase. even if she’s in a costume…. she’s still a good dancer!”
I feel like younger females who are also ballerinas would enjoy this movie a lot. Also anyone who really likes to see people acting goofy in costumes and what not. It is a good combination of the two.

The Beautiful Dancing of Sylvie Guillem

This video titled Sylvie Guillem DQ Ballet shows Sylvie Guillem dancing ballet in a dance studio. She is being given instructions by her instructor in French. The main person in the video is Sylvie Guillem, there is another women in the video, the teacher, but her name is never given. The video looks to be filmed in a very large dance studio, since they are speaking French I would assume that the dance studio is located either in France or in a certain part of Africa or Canada. This video is very popular and has almost 110,000 views. Most of the views come from Japan and Italy, with a few also coming from France. The general age of the people watching this video are for females ages 13-17 and then ages 45-54, more females have watched this video versus males. For males the general age for watching this video is ages 45-54.

The youtube search term that provided the majority of the hits was Sylvie Guilliem rehearsing Don Quixote with almost 22,000 hits, the next with a little over 7,000 was the term Syvlie Guillem. The traffic trend was very gradual, the graphing curve is steady and the graph is skewed to the left. It has gradually reached popularity since its posting on May 15, 2007. This video has around 60 ratings with the average rating being 4.5 stars. I think that this rating is relatively high, but I think that it probably didn’t get a five star rating because of the shortness in length of the video. I think that if the video was longer than it would have gotten a better rating. Most of the comments were more towards the positive side rather than the negative side. My favorite comment came from turtletortuise and it said, “Her arches are so perfect it is disgusting”. I think that this shows perfectly how much everyone really enjoyed watching Guillem dance. They loved her form and her ability. It seems that people seem to be commenting, on average, once every two months now. The comments were more prevalent in the beginning when the video was first posted. I think that someone who was very in love with ballet and the music of ballet would fall in love with this video. It shows perfect technique from a very prominent ballet dancer and it also showcases the music that she danced to. I think that it would mostly be good for girls to watch, so that if they are ballerina’s then they would gain body movement knowledge, and they could watch Guillem to see how she moves so beautifully.
