Leroy Mokgatle - 2016 Prix de Lausanne selections - classical variation

La fille mal gardée - Alexander Gorsky - Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold

[@Marsisredandhot]

He's one of the few who actually looks like he's dancing instead of just repeating some moves they memorized. Great job!!!

[@lizb853]

If I've watched him once,I've watched him 100 times. I can never get enough of watching him defying gravity his attack, smooth finishes and about 100 different other plaudits. This guy is something else again. AND! He's cheeky with it. Absolutely irresistible. WHAT a danseuse. He sure is flying high.

[@pameladowe2492]

Compelling to watch, Leroy has a presence that makes him stand out from the crowd!

[@bubble8829]

Wow!! Style, grace, technique, presence, acting, musicality. This is a DANCER. And legs and feet to the sky but still great elevation on the jumps. And beautifully soft arms and hands.

[@kristin123a]

He's a true joy to watch! Such stage presence and charisma!

[@jessicawilliams7245]

I got to meet him and dance alongside him in african and contemporary dance at a dance workshop this weekend! He is such an amazing guy and an amazing dancer!

[@JessicaBadillo]

He dances so beautifully, like he's the air, very well done Leroy

[@SnowFlakeBee]

He just draws you in with his electrifying personality. He has an incredible performance ability. Can't take my eyes off him. One to watch in the future.

[@LostinShadowsofDeath]

[@ЕвгенияАлешанова-в8з]

Браво ! Этот замечательный танцовщик "второй"Нуреев !

[@cherl14]

He has such a great smile, it's contagious :D

[@msvaleriah]

There's such beautiful fluidity in his movement, he's a joy to watch!

[@Cobracobalt]

He's absolutely gorgeous and outstanding, I'm dazzled ! He has so much light and that smile is so joyful

[@beignet2012]

Lovely young dancer, and he looked like he was enjoying it!

[@cherierea4078]

Beautiful performance Leroy, and you’re obviously enjoying it. Your finishes are excellent, take care to keep your heels down and give as much attention to your preparation as you do to your finishes. You execute everything extremely well in spite of some minor neglect with your preparations but your performance, joy and soul are thoroughly enjoyable. Remember to take care of your emotions through the tough demanding career ahead of you. You will delight audiences. All the best

[@Colass]

Bravo! What a smile!

[@tarantulabunny]

[@lenasophie5455]

I think I'm in love...This was so beautiful and amazing!! Very well done :)

[@eduardasartorio8932]

MISERICÓRDIA... PQ TÃO BOM? 😍

[@paules3437]

Whatever that mysterious élan that some artists (or athletes) have that raises the performance above the merely technical, this guy's got it! That double turn near the end was perfect, and those "flutter kicks" ("Battements"?) are astonishing.

[@diegoleiva6965]

[@orionharmon6017]

I'm starting to like him with all of his dance coordination and stuff.

[@larryslove8906]

Does anyone know if he’s dancing with a professional company now? If so which one?

[@lunapatrone89]

where can i find this music?

[@jonathanstill7718]

It's on this album by the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra open.spotify.com/album/6XQVSuXLETgVYE4HXzyJZC?highlight=spotify:track:2E7tJ6cTudFy5cc3LCcpOr starting around 4'10", or if you want the sheet music, it's Czibulka Scène de ballet Op. 268 (see jonathanstill.com/2019/11/16/fille-mal-gardee-the-gorsky-pas-de-deux-music/), though it's been cut for the solo. For the cut version, attributed (wrongly, I think) to Hertel, see here: imslp.org/wiki/Das_schlecht_bewachte_M%C3%A4dchen_(Hertel,_Peter_Ludwig)
