This is just wonderful. WHAT a fabulous dancer Matty is and so handsome ... he is the perfect lead male, so reliable, so strong. I have seen him on that stage many times and loved every single performance!

Matthew has an amazing physique. Combined with elegance and sensitivity, wonderful technique and perfect line, he's an exceptional dancer.

What a wise man, at this young age!! The future of the ballet is secure when a dancer like him leading the art of the ballet world. Thank you.

To bad ballet is insignificant in modern day culture. It’s all about Electronic Dance Music now, and it will give rise to a cosmic spinning dance, because that is what the music inspires. Ballet was cool in the renaissance, not anymore. The geometry of electronic dance music will inspire the dance of the future, and it will make ballet look like what it is: ancient, incomplete (because they spin in one direction.) IGNORANT.

@@JosedeJezeus What a narrow view. Ballet has survived, changed, grown, endured for four centuries. Like all pop dance crazes, electronic dance music will last for a time and then be consigned to the dust bin of dance history, while ballet, glorious, entrancing, exciting ballet, is attracting new audiences across the globe, thrilling audiences of children and adults alike. You're on the wrong side of dance history.

@@richardcleveland8549 consider this: ballet dancers only do long spins in one direction. It’s a major flaw. The human body is capable of both direction patterns. The left side is a mirror of the right side, and both have the same potential. I have noticed this type of trend in competitive environments: the trend of players (participants) being “lopsided.” It happens in figure skating too. Winning gets in the way of proper, balanced, development.

This is an especially fine portrait of an especially fine dancer. Matthew Ball is amazing as a dancer, and his openness throughout this short film is both refreshing and enlightening. He's an amazing man . . . and apart from his artistic talents, he's a very beautiful man . . . .

"Dance is only alive whilst it's happening." And comes to fruition while being performed. I was thinking about photography, how it's a moment captured, static. Unlike video. Music used to be alive only while it's happening, but now we have recordings and can make it alive at will.
