The best of the turning point

[@tismurdis]

I ABSOLUTELY love Leslie Browne in the Don Quixote solo! She has such spunk and life! CAN SOMEONE POST the whole movie?!!?!?!

[@shoemia]

Brilliant!!! Baryshnikov and Leslie Browne set to U2. I think you captured the magic and passion of the movie, the ballet, and the dancers perfectly!

[@d2dd]

I love the movie, by watching Baryshnikov dance always motivate me during those days of my exam.

[@roliboom]

I love this movie, one of my favorites. The dancing is fabulous! I have to agree with other comments though, I didn't really care for the music. It was a little loud for me, but you did pick the best moments from the movie! :D

[@preciousbash]

Greatjob by the way. Love the music and this assortment of clips. Great movie. I am goign to watch it again soon. Thanks!!

[@Dane_Youssef]

(by dane youssef) It's funny that this movie was so immensely popular with dancers as it isn't so much about dance as it is the about that key moment in life when everything changes. But this scene is all about ballet. The life, the dedication, the sweat and blood. The determination. Anyone who's been there will tell you the same. U2 actually makes a nice fit. Yeah, this is the life. Well done, pretty swan. Well-done.

[@JohnKoroly]

Thank you. Can't imagine what possessed you to wed that music to those images, but DAMN it worked!

[@kathandy74]

This is one of my most favorite movies ever!!!!!

[@ale80moonygirl]

by the way...AMAZING VIDEO...like you said, amazing combination, U2 ROCK´S!!!!

[@Dane_Youssef]

by Dane Youssef It's been well over 30 years. This whole damn thing still holds up. Many people claim that this is the movie this is the film they made them dance. This is all so electrifying, so pumping, so inspiring, so big in action... so much going on in a professional ballet academy. As great as "Turning Point" was, THIS is a great film in its own right. by Dane Youssef

[@BuShFuCu]

brilliant combination!!!

[@orpheusads]

What is the ballet from around 2:56 is it giselle? and where in the film is it?

[@Dane_Youssef]

It's works. God dammit, it all... just sort of fits. Well done, pretty swan. Well-done.

[@HeleneRomy75]

Oh gosh! you made my day!!!!!! MORE MORE MORE!

[@evilAniron]

nice video!, the music was great , but i would have liked more misha hehe

[@lizdodahA]

Movie is called "The Turning Point" it is from the 1970's...with Ann Bancroft and Shirley McLaine.

[@preciousbash]

How was it? I gort accepted into the jr corp of the NY City Ballet and then broke my foot before I ever got to do one class... Was going to do the Nutcracker. I want to teach one day. Pass on what I learned!! How long have you been dancing? I have been at it for 37 years and counting :)

[@CocaCola71787]

Nice Video.

[@BillSalem]

The dancing is wonderful. The music is wretched. I have nothing against U2 in particular, but there is a good reason the Tchaikovsky/Petipa ballets have survived and it is not entirely due to the choreography. Rock music comes from the lowest chakra. Dancers, who have refined their instruments, are no longer susceptible to the vibe emanating from the lower chakras in music. Martha Graham once said to a class I was taking, "What we are really doing here is refining the spirit."

[@mariapay2]

it's perfect!!!!

[@jiggyballerina]

does anyone know where i can buy this movie, please? it looks amazing!

[@CHCLTKPPRS]

what is the jr. corp of the new york city ballet -- is that the School Of American Ballet, or is it an apprentice member?

[@marisgin]

hi! I would like to download the movie, but I don´t know where can I find it, someone of you can tell me? sorry for my english, it´s not very good as you can see jiji, well, I hope you can help me...thank you very much

[@chantalbernard]

I think that it would be taken down. I too wish this was possible but that is why this does not have the sound that goes with it .... : (((

[@swanodette89]

I used this music because I want change the imagine of classical ballet. (Sorry for my english)

[@yourtrekpal]

the air's kinda thin once you reach certain altitude. i wonder if he can breathe up there...

[@crystaliclake]

no thats not giselle, theres no black costumes in giselle and it usually has the long tutus. I think its etudes, which is an AWESOME ballet. parts of it are featured in this old docementary movie called "bold steps" with the national ballet of canada

[@2kooldancin]

Actually...I think the music went with the video better than expected. U2 was a good choice

[@M0onlightKiss]

i noticed how thin the main character was,Amillia. I know ballarina's are naturly thin, but part of me thinks she was too thin. Though i loved the part of movie when she and her lover(i can't spell his name) dance and then make love*sigh* just like dirty dancing almost. Someone should make a tribute to all the most romantic dance secnces. No matter what type of dance, or music it should turn out good.

[@michael65]

Still astounded Leslie Browne and Mikhail Baryshnikov were nominated for Oscars for their performances in this film. A very entertaining piece of work climaxing with one of the best catfights the big screen ever saw but the supporting performances...laughably weak.

[@Amarventris]

nice clipz that alvin ailey cannot have been danced better by anyone right?

[@AngelicaCastro1]

Those pointe soes were so thin :S pff..

[@DanceFede]

il più bel film di danza!!! Barysnhikov è unico

[@tismurdis]

Well Leslie was only 15 and still growing.Ballet is pretty rigorous!

[@allthatjazz343]

I took class from leslie brown today!!!!

[@hell0hkitty]

the music didn't go :(

[@SteelyDanLuvr]

I absolutely love the final dance too, but I wish they had shown her full length more. Also, I can't believe they were nominated for supporting roles. Their acting was awful. Dancing was fabulous, but acting not. The Ailey-choreographed Ellingtonia was incredible too. And of course, the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene pas de deux.

[@Amarventris]

wow

[@hell0hkitty]

music: wrong wrong wrong! u2 as opposed to the classical composers, chopin, prokofiev, even ellington, and this is imposed? noooooo it takes away from the beauty of the dance and cheapens it

[@ginmar8134]

Who on earth cares?
