Another Day, Another Dance

Today's clip is a section from the ballet Don Quixote. Patrick Bissell starts us off, and he's good.

But then Mikhail Baryshnikov takes over, and there is a huge thumping sound as my jaw smashes down on the floor. Good lord. Has he never heard of gravity?

That was fascinating. The big man moves as if he has no weight, and the little man moves like he has legs made of springs.

Talented and sexy!

My, that's enjoyable. He's such a charismatic performer, which just makes his virtuosity stand out all the more.

I adore Baryshnikov. I had such a crush on him in my early teens! I had the pleasure of seeng him dance live when I first moved to Vancouver, but it was nothing like this. More modern and sullen. He did his routine to Frank Sinatra. Still excellent though. Thanks for posting, this made my morning!

Good lord. No, he did not get the memo on gravity. Wow.

Am I the only one who sees Rutger Hauer in this role?

'fraid so.

I just can't see Rutger doing grande jetées.
