Les Patineurs, part 1

One of my favorite ballets to watch and dance. So hard but so much fun!

Thanks for posting (Mark G.?) I definitely remember how much you gave in your performances! This was one of my favorite ballets to dance in as well, with a regional ballet company around 1974. Fernand Nault came to set it on us, and the movements look the same. I'm still trying to figure out the connection between Nault and Ashton's work...

The Royal Ballet should take note of the speeds taken here (faster rather than moderate) and what a difference they make: the whole thing is a breezy delight.

Didn't want to give much info as KZbin is now going after people for posting great stuff...you know, ruin the chance to see history of great dancing, companies, opera, ballet, theatre the whole thing...sick of copyright bullshit
