Superb, Valentino certainly has that super something ie Talent. Delighted to hear Choreography is his niche. For ages I never understood why his Promotion to Principal was never forthcoming. Choreography is a tremendous skill in itself. All the very best Valentino. Even more reason to follow your career.

I don’t know, but as a ballet dancer I’m grateful :) the pianists who play for ballet classes are mind bendingly *insanely* talented. Teachers will just be like "tendus please" and then "uhhh a little bit faster with more of a 3/4" and somehow the pianist just like.....plays the song from nothing? It’s amazing to me

Was the focus on men rather than women dancers in the early stages of ballet? I really enjoyed this performance and it seems more interesting than a lot of men's choreography in the 20th century.

Splendid! i don t know if that angst expression on the teacher just at the end was because of the dancer effort (preocupation about him and his satisfaction) or because of the last move,... that express from my point of view very well the Vestris´s egotistical part and that worried the teacher, so if it s like that, someone had to tell it: Don t worry, seem a good guy, he s not like Vestris Hehehe i don t know if it was this vestris or another, who said: " There is 3 important men in the world, king , napoleon, and me." I think even when a person dominates himself (In some points) and elevates his conciousness and technique he can seem as ugly as the begining when he only thinks in himself. So if the teacher was worried because he did vestris pose, nobody said it, i say it, he seems a good guy, dont worry. Hehe

Fantastic dancer. These are the male soloists I appreciate most---completely masculine. There are famous male soloists around who project an off-putting effeminacy.
@r.r.c76925 жыл бұрын
What you call feminity is the standart of a noble dancer in 19th century russia. It comes from academic ballet. Here he's dancing the baroque style. And the so called "masculine" classic dancer of today are influenced by contemporary/modern ballet. Sorry for my poor english.
@r.r.c76925 жыл бұрын
The feminine/masculine perception of the dancer also depends of physical critieria. Valentino (which seem to be an awesome dancer, i discover him now) dont have a noble dancer body.

I guess that's not the original choreography, right ? Seems too hard for that time, and I thought fouetté were done much later first by pierina legnani.

Fouettés were not invented by Pierina Legnani, she was only the first one to do 32 of them on pointe. This solo is by De Valois as the ballet mistress said, but nevertheless the dancing for the man was highly technical as well at the time of Vestris, as his pupil Bournonville's choreography proves.

@@noblesetsentimentales I think when I wrote this so many years ago I didn't heard that the choreograpy was by Ninette. I don't know yet anyway when tours fouettés were invented, if it wasn't by Legnani (I remember russian docs seem to think about her fouettés as something new)

@@juanjosefarina They were likely referring to the series of 32 that Legnani introduced. Before her other Italian ballerinas, like Emma Bessone and Antonietta Dell'Era (the first Sugar Plum Fairy) were known for her fouettés, but they never did as many as Legnani in a row.
