Graceful: Okocha (yes), Zidane, Aimar, Riquelme, Del Piero (although his productivity fluctuates dramatically), Deco, Rui Costa!!! (numero uno)
Actually none of these players (bar Okocha perhaps) move as fast as Ronaldo, and it's easier to be graceful when you move slower. Thus dribbling in those cases is more about being quick mentally rather than physically (even though Ronaldo uses both very well).
Prime example though is Rui Costa, when he's off form he's nothing special but in his golden moments he moves so gracefully, as if never applying more effort than necessary.
Another one who isn't graceful is Ibrahimovic.
Ps. Completely derailing the thread but we're waiting on those videos so it's excusable..

Ronaldo move or
Alternative file for ronaldo's move vs Josemi
Kewell does stepovers at lightning speed (brown's off for a cup of tea till he's finished)
Ronaldo hits post after dribbling circles around alonso, gerrard and co
EDIT: Ronaldo hits superb shot on the bar against Bolton from 30 yards out with his left (already hit the post from far out against Everton, Liverpool, Bolton)
