Cesar Corrales in Le Corsaire Variation and Coda

With Tamara Rojo

[@tontonjeannot6089]

I love how the crowd reacts to him like he's a rock star. That was a normal reaction for ballet dancers in the old days.

[@jorgejure7673]

They are in a superior level than most of the dancers doing this variation nowadays! They possess a unmatched technique brilliance (his accelerating turns while descending the passe are incredible… and her swiftness!) and a convincing temperament just in their roles ! Chapeau !

[@philipkuttner7945]

Corrales, McCrae, Bonelli, Muntagirov, Sambé . . . and I'm probably missing some . . . The Royal Ballet has an amazing lineup of principal male dancers!

[@insaelliott9464]

Both Corrales and Rojo are so ridiculously amazing in this clip, to the point they made me laugh!

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Totally get it. I thought well what is left to do?

[@philipkuttner7945]

I've always found it very exciting when a male dancer slows down at the conclusion of a series of fast turns. I imagine it must take tremendous control.

at once an athlete and an artist. magnificent

[@katydidiy]

I just love the cheering!

[@mauriziopaggio6970]

Fantastico !!! Magnifico !

[@paulgreen6921]

I think ballet dancers are the epitome of athleticism. What they achieve routinely is an amazing spectacle. It is apparently a daily sacrifice physically and mentally to maintain such artful excellence. I regularly click on their videos for a genuine graceful adrenaline demonstration. COSMIC! PWG

Buenazo el chaval , y viva Cuba Asere!

[@toeknee1965]

he is amazing. I saw this at the Paris opera a few years ago. was one of the most exciting moments at the ballet I was ever. the crowd was just wow. it was a trio. . she's not so refined for the role but I like her almost bulldog attack. reminds me of myself on pointe. LOL

[@user-xr8wp3wq5g]

Есть леситация! А советские балерины крутили фуэте, не сходя с почтовой марки!

[@Balletworld]

why the audience screams like that, it’s ballet not circus!

[@jcliff26]

Think it was full of students.

[@isabeldiezlangre9411]

Bailarin con mucho fuego, gran salto, muy bien, pero hecho en falta ese "ALGO" y ese Estilo y elegancia que tenía El Corsario de Nureyev y Fontein.
