Assistir Antônio Casalinho dançar é uma fruição, um grande prazer. Que talento, que graça, que beleza! Sem dúvida, o maior bailarino da atualidade.

[@kenmoreSF]

what a magnificient group of young dancers!!!!!!! Bravo!!!! Just stunning!

[@claudioaprile4697]

Stunning!!!!! Congratulations for the teachers and the dancers

[@dereknewbury163]

Mr Casalhino is impressive but his three colleagues are also stunning dancers. So much talent is joyous

[@gabryc.3004]

Quanto sono bravi... Il talento è importante, ma il tocco magico lo da l'insegnante.. Quindi tanto onore anche agli insegnanti... Bravi tutti

[@kathleengoodwin6713]

Such a talented group of dancers, must be wonderful to have taught them

[@erik1836]

One of the greatest joys in life, at least for myself, is teaching young people - my forte is young men - immigrants from West Africa usually - in their late 20s and early 30s about America, the English language and how to best assimilate into and operate effectively in the MUCH faster complexity of American culture. The biggest handicap immigrants irrespective of where they hail from have Coming to America and becoming Strangers in a Strange Land is not the crap, BS of "systemic racism" that the disgusting, despicable, hateful and hate-filled Democrats and the Left play upon and use as a device to prey upon the ignorant and desperate to trap, garner their votes. No, it is the fact the cultural paradigms even the best boys are taught back in their homelands - do NOT travel well and mean they, even when acting perfectly acceptably according to their culture's upbringing, are off the mark when conducting themselves here in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. That's where I, a fourth generation, white guy, less than young widower come in. Think my Professor Higgins to their young male versions of Eliza Doolittle.

[@fordedaryl7948]

Great. So much potential. EspecIally Antonio Casalhino

[@kathleengoodwin6713]

What a talented dancer!

[@pierrejohnson4754]

All of them, he is just more famous

[@jozhba]

* Casalinho !

[@timobelton1]

I think it's just wonderful! Wonderful choreography...Wonderful dancers...Wonderful performance!

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

I love watching choreography...any type of dance. Its just beautiful.

[@mainagielgud1]

Antonio is 1st Soloist in Bavarian State Ballet Munich, lots of exciting roles coming up this year likely. Francisco Gomes is Soloist with Companhia Nacional de Danca in Lisbon, danced James and Gurn in La Sylphide last season there, as well as works by Forsythe, McNicol, Naharin, and also likely to get exciting roles this season. GIulio is with the Finnish National Ballet, dancing a lot of solo roles and Pedro is in a company in Sibiu also doing well!

[@joseantoniogranadosanchez6365]

[@mzunin1]

[@FISTRIG]

BEAUTIFUL YOUNG TEEN DANCERS !!!

[@user-dc9qj5pd7n]

Мальчики все красавцы!👍🌷

[@clarte9761]

antonio casalinho possède cette grâce exceptionnelle auprès de laquelle les autres garçons ne peuvent malheureusement que s'effacer il sera certainement l'un des plus grands danseurs du siècle

[@manoelmasini9204]

Not at all. Antonio is great but the others too. It s so stupid to do comparision.

[@alwaysuseless]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Antonio Casalinho is the one with the slightly bigger chest and the hair that's a little higher in the front? In the lineup of the 4 he was often the 3rd from the left. He had some moves that looked a little more difficult. Also, this may sound strange, but there were times when they were all doing the same movements or the same one after the other, and his landings made less sound. All 4 were very good, but he stood out. Thank you for uploading this.

This alley to the rules however in style . Thank for portraying now for the lousanne competition. Amen

[@joaoalbertofernandes7901]

São os bailarinos Giulio Diligente e Pedro Marques, parabéns a todos eles .......

[@erik1836]

HOW? Do they remember all of that? Lol Truly inspiring way to start the day and be reminded that life is precious and filled with noble and incalculable beauty.

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

I wonder the same thing. The whole time they're moving they have to be thing about the next move and where and how their bodies are positioned. It seems so complicated to be able to move and spin like that...especially when they are dancing as a couple or group. When boy pairs up with girl it is the most elegant kind of dancing there is.

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

Where are they now? I know Antonio is still making waves, but what about the other dancers? So much has changed/vanished since the pandemic.

[@michelboudot2882]

Remember seeing this with GILPIN FLINDT GODFREY AND PROKOWSKY IN THE 1960 in london

[@pediatrapaola]

1957 original cast

[@chipsanders0822]

Captivating! The work that goes beyond the preparation, not to mention their strength and stamina, is astounding. #I❤️🩰

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

I just watched professional Russian dancers do this routine. These kids are much more fun to watch. They obviously take it seriously, but they also look like they're more having fun with it. Whenever I see any disciplined youngster working hard to get better and do better to help themselves I automatically become a fan and secretly donate money to their scholarships. If for no other reason...just to encourage them. Not the arrogant ones, but the humble ones. Hard to have a favorite here. They are all good. The should form their own youth company

[@chipsanders0822]

@@FallacyAsPraxis Well said! I think what you do for these talented young dancers is inspiring. You sound like someone I’d be friends with. There is nothing more rewarding than performing a selfless act and helping someone out financially if you have the resources. I wish I could do more. On behalf of all the dancers you’ve helped, I’m sending you a heartfelt and gratitude-filled hug. 🤗

[@lazarocedeno5270]

Gorgeous.

[@joaoalbertofernandes7901]

Além do Antonio Casalinho e do Francisco Gomes , quem são os outros dois bailarinos ?

Complimenti ! Ragazzi preparati benissimo

[@darambelle9062]

Lovely to see Maina Geilgud, who has done such wonderful work with these students, looking on from the corner. António has spoken about how much he has grown as an actor since working with Maina. As an ardent fan of António and these beautiful young dancers, thank you Ms Geligud. António is simply magnificent in a pas de deux from Talisman in this clip below. And Francisco's acting skills on display in a pas de deux from La Fille Mal Gardee. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h17FeH56ecSAoa8

What’s the name of the school? City?

[@paulknight9413]

For God's sake, let's not spoil things with political comments. Just enjoy watching the lads having fun.

[@edsr164]

They should create their own company

[@mainagielgud1]

They are thinking of making a Junior company September 2021...

[@pierrejohnson4754]

That would be wonderful! Spectacular! That way they don’t have to split up once they graduate! Tell them I approve and I’m rooting for them all the way across the Atlantic

[@kino2229]

Which music is it please?

[@joelkasow3158]

whose idea was. that super-offensive title?

[@alwaysuseless]

Good question. Because "kike" is an anti-Jewish slur, and the plural would be "kikes" without an apostrophe, I wonder if the title is totally a mistake, perhaps a mistranslation. One definition of "gigolo" is a man hired to be a woman's dancing partner. Could this be variations for 4 gigolos, in that sense?

[@mainagielgud1]

@@alwaysuseless Kike is simply the nickname of Enrique - a teacher at Annarella Academy - it has nothing to do with the title of the ballet.. :)

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

@@mainagielgud1 I can't stand that people get so uptight and offended by every little thing. Jeez, they are kids dancing and having fun. Can't we just watch and enjoy it?

[@alwaysuseless]

@@mainagielgud1 Thank you for the clarification. So I think the title of the video means: Kike's video of "Variations for 4." I don't mean to be presumptuous, but "Kike" seems an unfortunate nickname for "Enrique." Almost on a par with "Nigger" for "Nigel" or "Nicholas." Anyway, the video itself, the variations, and the dancers are all superb! Btw, it's very easy to change the title of an uploaded video. So you might want to consider changing the title to "Enrique's video of Variations for 4" or "VARIATIONS FOR 4 --ENRIQUE'S VIDEO."

[@alwaysuseless]

​@@FallacyAsPraxis I'm sorry you regard sensitivity to terms like "kike," "spick," and "nigger," as being uptight about every little thing. Yes, the kids are dancing and having fun. And the "kids" or dancers happen to be very good.
