This performance is, to my mind, the epitome of beauty and grace, the ultimate art, a mesmerising display of being human...

Vi invito ad ammirare la perfezione, nei minimi dettagli, di questo Bolero, Roland Petit. La minuziosa sincronia dei movimenti, le figure e i precisi allineamenti, il tutto con leggerezza, grazia e precisione estrema. Come gli ingranaggi di un orologio, tutto si incastra meticolosamente, in ogni frazione di secondo. Veramente sublime!

[@elizabethdelgado8844]

Elizabeth Delgado This is absolutely the BEST choreography I have ever seen for this seemingly simple but devilishly complex piece of music (which is one of my favorites). the strength and grace of the two dancers is incredible. Bravo!

Maurice Ravel did something very unique to a Spanish traditional style of dance called specificaly, "Boléro". His orchestral composition of Boléro made him and his piece famous. This exquisite piece of moving music was used in the movie '10'. And then I stumble upon this video of this dance performance that takes Ravel's music composition to a new leval of exquisite. Simply complex, complexly simple. Otherwise I am speachless. The choregrahpy and the excecution is beyound '10'.

[@xilefregnu9542]

Absolutely Breathtaking!!! The most beautiful, perfect dance to Bolero! The anticipation of the touch and coming together was almost unbearable, but worth the wait. The electricity these two dancers exuded could light up New York Freakin' City!! I am enthralled. It truly was Brilliant. Bravisimo!!!!!!!!!!!1

Unbelievable. The choreography is breathtaking. One incredible move followed by another. And the dancers are superb. So beautiful.

This took place in Marseille (if I am not mistaking) facing the harbor and Notre Dame de la Garde Basilique in the background, 7 DAYS AFTER Roland Petit DIED (died on July 10 2011)!. Amazing!

I believe it’s a bull or two bulls…intranced in a mating dance. My interpretation ( just watching, no inside knowledge )

[@annickborys2465]

Magnifique commentaire ❤ .

[@walep5586]

Precisely, bull fighting and tango share an encounter in which passions and skills are in competition, attraction and mistrust, passion and fear, all together, sometimes at once. Ravel's mother had catalonian ancestry, so he was familiar with the bull fighting culture, with that attraction to fear, to the unknown powers of other beings, other natural forces, of which women are part from the male gaze perspective!

[@geovaniamendonca]

Very beautiful choreography!👏👏👏👏

[@dougholliday467]

Damn, every time I watch this I feel so enriched. Simply put, "They go together like PEAS AND CARROTS!"

[@Eidings-Mc]

I've never been into ballet this much, but man this was grandios! It's just so playful; nearly every step, every single movement they did was in sync with the music. I know that's kind of aspected but I see it so often, that people force their dance figures onto the "wrong" places in the song, they jump right before the accentuated note or are too slow when the music gets into gears and so on and so forth. These are things that personally often throw me out of the experience. Unlike here: They really managed to indeed visualise the music. Even their moves got bigger and bigger _with_ the Bolero's build up, saving that piggyback-thingy until the very end. That's so awesome and the exact shit I personally want to see in a dance, so thanks a lot for uploading this beautiful performance.

[@dougholliday467]

I listen to singers of both sexes with the most beautiful voices, but it is very rare that the types go with the voices. The same with actors and actresses; it is very, very rare that the whole appearance of the body goes with the unbelievable beauty of the face, especially in the movie scenes when showing them in full view while running erratically... What I witnessed in watching these two unbelievably beautiful and talented young people dance was something extremely unusual, emotional, and pleasurable. They are simply the perfect specimens of their art in each and every way. I cannot thank them enough for the experience of the 16-minute taste of heaven on earth...
