Best of Steven McRae

[@ailsa2434]

Steven is my favourite male ballet dancer. So versatile, fluid and joyful. The sheer speed, strength and expressiveness. And the Czardas - the way he combines the ballet and tap so energetically and passionately. That's a true artist right there.

[@elizzy8754]

I'm seeing it as classical ballet, Moisseiev, the Gardiner Brothers and Fred Astaire all rolled into one 🤩

[@patiencelacysmith7331]

My exact sentiments word for word!!

[@catherinecozzano2580]

I love Steven Macrae. Perfect technique together with poetic and sensitive interpretation. A great dancer❤️

[@annamcknight2573]

If there were an Olympic Gold for Dance, Steve would win.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Being a classical dance examiner I have some tap friends who believe I amongst other classical folk do not appreciate tap. Personally I love it. I then show them Steven with this czardas video, sit back and watch their faces. I have always believed in the marriage of classical, jazz and tap with any genre of music to show that with careful planning it will all work together. Thank you for this lovely vid of Steven.

[@skwalka6372]

This is tap dancing at another level =)

[@minissa2009]

You've seen him as the Mad Tapper (Hatter), right? I've looked to see if he had some tap or even Irish step dancing in his background or just picked it up on the fly. He's fabulous, whichever!

[@robertmcnamara5407]

@@minissa2009 No I have never really seen the whole thing. I saw him tap at the Prix de Lausanne gala concert I think it was. He grew up here in Australia as a tapper, well all rounder I believe, but his ballet took the lead.

[@minissa2009]

@@robertmcnamara5407 Thanks for that. Now I can quit lying awake nights 🤗. He's amazingly versatile, and I didn't know he was an Aussie! One of the finest moments in my life {I know, I need to get out more} was during an evening when he was dancing SB with Sarah Lamb and was keeping up a "you are there" patter of all the backstage activity leading up to curtain. He showed some pages from Ballet Hero, a really cute Manga he was involved with. I made a comment on the hero's art work as though I were critiquing a live dancer, just being silly {great line and epaulement, needs to work on relieve or some such} and he favorite it!

[@しゅにシュニ]

I'm totally entranced by this dance. Marvelous! 👏🩰

[@thelightdivining]

I was so lucky to see him live twice, Nutcracker and Winter Tales. His energy and stage presence are something beyond words.

[@colinalexander1507]

He owns every role. Love his exuberance and skill. You cannot take your eyes 👀 off him.

[@angela.luntian]

Im not that well versed in ballet but this guy has amazed me with the sheer amount of control he has to always be on rhythm and then do it with power.

[@jacquidee3591]

Oh my word, such a talent, thank you Steven. Such versatility…..pure classic, tap, folk , even Irish dance….. I wish you so much luck 😊

[@michaelb2685]

One of my all time favorite dancers. There's so much here to love in his technique and style. Such a strong and vastly talented dancer.

[@minissa2009]

OMG Czardas! This is one of your best compilations, as it shows Steven's sheer range. What a great danseur!

[@aml6106]

Light, joyful, expressive, gorgeous technique... wow.

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

Steven has always performed with great flair, a wonderful technique and beautiful artistry. Thank you for this tribute!! ❤⭐❤

[@franciswright]

Magnificent. Hard work and artistry in a perfect blend.

[@karenkaren3189]

Wonderful dancer and gentleman

[@wonders-u5krakie]

素晴らしいダンサーですね❤ 名前も知らないけど、きっと名のあるダンサーでしょう。 　冒頭のバレェとタップダンスので融合は，極め付き👍👍👍 ターンしながら、タップを打つという難しいスキルを，事も投げに、やってしまう。 見惚れてしまいました👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@colleenperold1610]

Absolutely brilliant!

Just brilliant thanks and brilliant 🎻 playing ❤

[@Milana_I]

What a talented and razgoplanovy! How beautiful it is!

[@TalentedDilittante]

I really like your choreography; rhythmic and imaginative, without the silly, unnecessary repetitions.

[@alcon3344]

.... è stata aggiunta un'altra nota sul pentagramma! Bravissimo!

[@ВалентинаИванова-ю3к]

Стивен МакРей гениальный танцовщик, мой самый любимый танцовщик. Танец на музыку "Чардаш" Монти напоминает наше "Яблочко" не только хореографией, но и настроением и интонациями танцовщика. ❤ из России, 10 октября 2024 года.

[@cassandraalls5633]

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!

[@thaliaelizabet9537]

Bravo 👍👏👏

[@angelacymerman282]

😮 that czardas is like nothing I’ve ever seen - what a supremely talented dancer 🙌👋👋

[@claragovoni4732]

Non lo conoscevo,ma è stata una scoperta meravigliosa , armonioso bravissimo elegante.entusiasmante

[@barbarakempf761]

Wow combining tap with ballet great idea

[@すずらん-f4q]

He is handsome. He has good technique and acting.

[@acilegna94]

My most favorite Steven McRae solo is from the finale section of Chroma. So sharp and musical. I used to watch it on loop when the ballet was first on youtube. It was taken down for years and recently resurfaced. I was ecstatic! Anyone know the solo I'm referring to?

[@advocate1563]

Saw his comeback performance at RoH. Wonderful to see him.

[@kachampagne]

Oh, come on!!! I always used my ballet training as the excuse for me not being able to tap dance. Why does he have to be so amazing?

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

If you watch the rehearsals for Alice in Wonderland where he played the Mad Hatter in a sequence that combines both ballet and tap, he said he found it really hard to continually switch between the two dancing styles and would mutter to himself "Ballet! Tap! Ballet! Tap!" to remind himself which one he was supposed to be doing 😅

[@mysticpurrrrfection]

Omg that’s awesome

[@craftsandstuff3349]

Watching him warm up is crazy.

[@claragovoni4732]

Non lo conoscevo,meraviglioso e bravissimo

[@екатеринаорешина-о7щ]

Идеальный !! Браво !!

[@erpollock]

Steven's Csardas is fine, but I keep thinking he needs a costume to really carry it off! Love his tapping choreo. The sad prince, I'll call it, I've been looking for and now here it is. Sleeping Beauty? The third has to be La Fille mal Gardee. Love the fourth episode, he is so clever! Last looks like the final pas of Nutcracker. Steven McRae is a brilliant executant!

[@minissa2009]

These are all correctly identified. It's Ashton's Fille.

[@ЛилияЕсаулова]

Великий МАСТЕР! Смотреть - наслаждение!

[@erpollock]

What I really admire about Steven McRae is his dramatic talent. He becomes the role, he is totally different in a light role in Ashton's Fille than he is in the solo in Sleeping Beauty. He is fantastic in the Christmas commercial for a whiskey, and in Wheeldon's Alice as the Mad Hatter, he steals the show.

[@ГульназЮртанидзе]

Мастер ! Волшебник !!

Could anyone of you tell me what music Steven Mac Rae dances to after the Czardas de Monti? Sounds like Shostakovich to me, but I don't know what it could be.

[@АлександрМаг-е3ы]

Очень впечатляет!

[@kasiam.180]

Шикарный.

[@davidkeogh9276]

I would be more guns and roses than ballet however its nice to watch at times even though I don't understand anything about it.

[@すずらん-f4q]

モンティのチャルダッシュは私の好きな曲。 この曲をバレエで踊れないのかなぁと思っていましたら、タップで振り付けするとはね。

[@Valerie-nf3jl]

Ok to everyone at GM ray security lapse means people are allowed in everyday. Even Steven. Happy Halloween to all xcept security.and me if course I am engaged elsewhere.😢

The 'dumb' combo, shows just how amazing and brilliant Steven McRae is as an internationally renowned Dancer. One of the most musical talented dancer ever. And it is sad you apparently can't appreciate that amazing talent 🤔
