Tamara Rojo and Carlos Acosta - Le Corsaire Pas de Deux

Performed July 15 at the Gran Teatro de La Habana, Tribute to Alonso by The Royal Ballet. I was told the first performance the night before was far superior to this one.

Amazing moment with 2 outstanding dancers, the Ali’s variation and coda is breathtaking t.Acosta was a magical dancer🍀☘️🌴🌞🌺🌸🌼🌻

[@valeriewilliams5324]

Carlos ...thank you....you are magnificent...and Tamara also what a superb partnership!

[@marthajane6617]

Carlos is beautiful, he literally takes flight, and Tamara was wonderful. Bravo,you gorgeous, talented dancers, thank you for such beauty and passion.

[@brianrussel6012]

(guest) hadn't seen Carlos before this year, (shame on me , but have been very busy, practicalities / fatigue, overwork!), but glad to find videos here. I did read that he was having to stop because of " constant pain"...ballet takes a lot from a body......tendons? ligaments? He does " float" beautifully , with the same manly grace of Nureyev. Many thanks for making videos available.☺.

[@senshree]

Our teachers had Makarova, Kirkland, Baryshnikov, Nureyev and we have these phenomenal artists. The highest caliber, on a global scale, bar none!!! Acosta...TOP DOG!!!!

[@susannevollmer2347]

Rojos fabelous turns and fouettès!🌹

[@tedsler]

I can never watch Tamara Rojo enough when she does fouettés :) and that hint of a smile as she finishes and runs off.... LOVE! IT!

Wow amazing

[@mariabetancourt6797]

He is just amazing

[@birdeex3]

I LOVE audiences like this that just clearly love ballet. =D

[@jsl1952]

It's not your imagination, the air conditioning was not working and this came after her Don Q. Two very strong pieces in one night. Not to mention she had danced the night before and was to perform Manon on Friday.

[@Joananathon3]

I Didn't matter the shape he was one of the best dancer in the world.

[@marvintheatre]

Amazing! The ending tricks are like fireworks!

[@juliocemach]

bello!!!!

[@marianeira9160]

Que belleza!!.........

[@lexilou9119]

Don’t care what shape he’s in, I could watch him all day long 👏👏👏

[@Joananathon3]

He was one of the best and her was also one of the best.

[@puchululina]

Bravoooooooo!!!

[@diegomadeira35]

[@Rainbowsandreams]

[@cezartb]

His shirt detracts from his perfection.

[@miritaalejandra9706]

BRAVOOOOOO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@qwerty43369]

Carlos was brilliant here obviously but... seen him do this MUCH better

[@hrh2842]

And carrying less poundage.

[@raulishnikov]

yeah it sounded funny that tempo changing....

[@Feliandyx16]

Perfecto imito en los ultimos segundos como lo hace Misha ¡¡¡¡

[@tedsler]

NO matter how much he tries, he can never match Tamara (in my opinion) She is divine!

[@ojj3340]

I believe she is the other way round.

[@juanmanuelgranadosdavila4984]

Latin power!.

[@robertomendes960]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@TheeHoneyBadger7093]

[@lazarocedeno5270]

Bravi.

[@Mrturytury1]

Il ne faudra pas essayer de s'envoler, quand on peut faire du terre a terre...n'est-ce pas....?

[@genaro100193]

en que momento carlos agarra esa cosa en las manos?

[@moiralopez695]

geniooosss

[@Joananathon3]

Who many even in their 20 can do that

[@diegomadeira35]

Voilà! Monsieur la Dance!

[@numberonefilmfan]

@Qbendanny - Quite right.

[@jsl1952]

Unfortunately, no, I wish I had it.

[@moiralopez695]

la coda increible

[@emmsteemmastewart]

i think it was one of his arm barcelets...it'd probably fallen off or got loose or something...

[@moiralopez695]

groosoooss

[@usagiyo2007]

本物の海賊登場！金髪の海賊にないリアリティーがある。

[@alenales1384]

М-да... Столько лайков собрали... А па де де то не было: каждый танцевал сам по себе. )

[@genaro100193]

nobady like barishnikov

[@arepo]

It seems that from 2008/9 on he was in very bad shape for several years, it's obvious in many recordings... Seen this with other South American male dancers, too - as soon as they hit their mid-30s they put on weight and get heavy. Why they insist doing classical bravura roles wearing next to nothing is beyond me...

[@sakura44553]

I hope ballet is developing in a more diverse body types, so many more people enjoy.

[@lauragomiladomenech3740]

Ella es buenísima pero el bailarín esque es perfecto

[@mysticmeg111]

any of you critics heard of the opening night party and reception? Do you think the artists stayed up a little too long-one glass of wine too much? I think they did a magnificent pas de deux. so shut thine evil lips!!!

[@shown7309]

3:39

[@MrNocco]

magnificant :P but i think ppl can agree that he did this better back when he was 20... sadly...

[@MrNocco]

right, but the conductor may help a bit in variations :P

[@Saavedra99]

he's heavy and out of shape though he wasn't that old at the time :( i've seen better performances from others and also from him in this role

[@user-vb8lg3qy5g]

великолепно исполненные коды... в мужской вариации неудачный трюк,словно лошадь взбрыкивает... и забавляло формальное складывание рук на груди...

[@pediatrapaola]

dear friend l can't undrestand why you so furious a dancer is a man and an athlete and is not possible to be all year in full shape,and l like acosta very much,but if you are not blind is clear that in this film carlos is little heavy and less muscolar than usual,but also think that few weeks of rest and diet are necessary,because that kind of water ritention is often due an over workaout,and in fact sometime l saw many dancer ,among them once vladimir vasiliev,out of their ideal shape.

[@BenjieWestafer]

Good f-ing grief!! @redblonde, add a /s, cause people don't get it.

[@TheHerothief]

meant to give this a thumbs down... gave it thubs up instead lol

[@avesraggiana]

Oh dear, at this point, Acosta has turned into a “gordito”, and his costume is doing him no favours.

[@valcomex]

Lousy performance by Acosta.

[@pediatrapaola]

may happen because also him is human ,but he is very bad shape in this period ,very fat.

[@pediatrapaola]

yes very bad shape for a prof

[@bompy84]

Bravo!
