Gregory Hines & Mikhail Baryshnikov: Get Off Your Ass! (White Nights - 1985) [HD]

[@wrlord]

Even here, toward the end of his dance career, MB was physical perfection.

[@joeyservo]

Leave it to the 80s to make a montage about men's dance seem as exciting as when Arnold starts strapping on grenades and rocket launchers.

[@vonrock6862]

Only these guys are real.

[@brendabernstein286]

Actually more exciting

Baryshnikov is fantastic and has always been a favourite! So fluid and elegant. Just beautiful especially ballet.

[@bridgetdoman1386]

Two of the most exciting dancers in one movie. What more could one want.

[@jenniferlyons4150]

Sad Gregory is no longer with us. He was so talented.

[@seanwebb605]

I have visited his grave in Oakville.

Never mourn a person. It is only your guilt for what you didn't achieve. You only celebrate the ones that pass over.

Oh and they are both laying around and then dance, tap or ballet..... OMG

Loved the dancing and music in White Nights. And that a white and black man danced as equals in this sequence.

[@michelemarie2568]

Kudos to a great woman dancer/choreographer. This is her contribution to the film. Twyla Tharp.

[@timferguson2682]

I hadn't realized. Think she had talent here to work with?

[@nbenefiel]

Two icons, totally different, both amazing.

[@debh6304]

They were both beautiful men

[@veralenora7368]

I watched a Gregory Hines special and Sammy Davis Jr. was in the audience. Davis got up and walked to the stage ... an old sick man, he became stronger with every step toward that stage. He did an impromptu performance, and Hines got down on his knees and kissed Davis' feet. When Davis walked back to his seat he became an old sick man again. Heartbreaking and yet his strength to perform was inspiring. Davis wrote an autobiography "Yes, I can" I highly recommend.

These were movies. They depicted the best

[@ImogenC-rt3fm]

Was a seat filler at an awards show about 100 years ago (okay just 30). Sat next to him. (Oh, seat fillers are “civilians” drafted to make an event venue look full for camera. About 1/4 of the people you see at the Oscar’s are “civilians”. Why? The taping of an 🥇 show is incredibly long and boring. No one in their right mind WANTS to go, but it’s obligatory. Some actors are so unnerved by these events that they bring their Mommy instead of their underwear model/baby mama. It’s a little saddening, Galactica Actual. We should have compassion for their torment. If the Emmy’s, for example, existed during the crusades, the Iron Maiden would never have been invented.

[@MarthaT-z2f]

I can watch this video numerous times, but I still love it

It’s 2020 now and I’ve been a fan of both Mikhail and Gregory for decades but Im not sure how this ended up on my suggested list. However, here we are and I’m appreciating this scene once again.

[@jimmybonez8928]

My Dad fought Gregory Hines in a High School Martial Arts tournament. Unfortunately, Gregory BEAT my Dad. So those kicks shows how talented all around Gregory Hines was.

[@jimmybonez8928]

@Victor French Afraid I don’t know. But suffice it to say, Gregory Hines was an incredibly talented individual.

[@MargaretCutt-um8iq]

one of the best dance scenes ever.

[@TOJ72]

A movie made by real trained dancers and can also act as we'll.

[@seanwebb605]

+TOJ72 Very we'll indeed. lol

[@Cliffjumper24]

The director makes an amusing statement in the audio commentry on the DVD. He says that actors get bored when sequences take a long time to film, causing them to lose consentration. Dancers, on the other hand, because of their repetitive training system, are used to doing the same thing over and over again until they get it right! He also said there's a truism, that choreographers are sadists, and dancers a masochists!!

[@danbev8542]

These two are beyond trained! More like best of their fields.

[@loantran-thanh7795]

Trained dancer? Barishnikoff was a star ballet dancer in the former USSR before defecting to the USA . He performed on the best stages all over the world . Trained dancer?.!

Great era, great music great guys,right the opposite from today......

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

This was a very interesting movie, I remember it. Not just the dancing, but how it's also a commentary about Russia and the USA.

[@Cliffjumper24]

There are three layers present in this movie that show the difference in cultures. 1: Russia vs USA 2: Black vs White (Although it's not a massive barrier between the Raymond and Rodchenko characters, they manipulate Colonel Chaiko's racism to getting Darya back), but it also shows the division in American culture. 3: Ballet vs Tap (For Ballet, people dress up in ballgowns and tuedos, but "The rich don't patronise tap" (quote from the movie), so people watch it in their normal clothes.

[@TarasTarot]

Yes Russia all disciplined and formal (while exquisite, ballet) vs America’s individualism expressed through more of that wild no rules self Expression (tap)

[@rtgtx]

It's not a documentary because it's quite biased.

[@gloquezada176]

I love you Misha! 🥰

I don't know how this ended up on my suggested list, but so glad it came up - I remember *loving* this movie as a kid!!! This was the movie that began my Mikhail (Misha) crush! It was on some channel, and I taped it - ohmygosh anybody here remember VHS and VCRs???? - Anyway once I had it on tape I watched it on REPEAT like God knows how many times. I actually probably still have that VHS somewhere...Oh man, good times the 80's =]

Baryshnikov in his formidable prime, and Gregory Hines just steps up and effortlessly blows him away. Incredible. (Also lots of eye candy here, lil' something for the lllllladies)

[@marlenegb3267]

Nobody blows Mikhail away. Did you see Gregory hobbling at the end? Let's say this instead , the two of them together were great! And leave it at that But if you think anyone can blow Baryshnikov away , go back to the beginning. Anyone else would have been dead of strangulation, but Mikhail is solid muscle from head to toe
