Yo Yo Ma And Lil' Buck Do 'The Swan' in Beijing

[@banghuynh9840]

Ten years later it's stunning and beautiful. Privilege to watch Lil' Buck and Yo Yo Ma performed together.

[@MrDanamp]

The dancer possess such grace! I've never seen anything like it! And the compelling look on his face... Oh! I'm wiping away tears.

[@ChocklatKim]

The young man is from my hometown. Memphis Tennessee. He makes me proud to be a Memphian.

[@nanabirdsbee]

Right?! Mane.

[@troubadour4043]

作为一个中国人，我喜欢他舞蹈中的和平和舞蹈中蕴含的激情

[@troubadour4043]

As a Chinese, I like the peace in his dance and the passion contained in it

[@matteopersivale6063]

This video should have a few billion views, Lil Buck & Yo Yo Ma deserve them

[@sarahpotts1200]

Omg!!! As a major lover of swans, that dance was exceptional, especially the end . Is there any artist EVER with a broader base of expressive art than Yo- Yo Ma ? I think his vision is something akin to being at one with the Universe . Is his forward - thinking ability to unite people and to heal with his music and spiritual beauty really of this Earth ? I wonder how he hides his wings? ❤

[@marlucenadkarni2460]

Makes you proud of the human race. Gives you hope. We need that.

[@fitgraphisva]

Wow…just…wow. What a different and wonderful interpretation of Camille’s piece.

[@susanorkand5059]

Stunning, moving and exquisite in every way

[@secretofsinging]

So beautiful, elegant and lyrical !!!! It is really THE new ballet form !!!! Thank you !

[@l.e.6263]

MJ would be proud of this new moonwalk interpretation. Yo yo ma continues to be such a generous and versatile artist, Blending classical in modern

[@sarahpotts1200]

That is exactly what I thought too. I would imagine Mr Ma admired MJ. I wish he had worked with him. Cab you imagine ? ! I think MJ especially would have gained much from Yo- Yo in a holistic sense.

[@kevmemphiz6712]

From 901 He Took Our Dance Style (JOOKIN) To A Whole Different Level,Him Learning Ballet Was Beneficial TOO...

[@DerekWilliamsMusic]

[@cherisebarasch8375]

I'm watching The Silk Road Ensemble, saw this scene on it, had to look it up, so glad I did!

[@tammymcdonald5224]

That was one of the most extraordinary performances I've seen, it was beautiful, almost brought me to tears❤❤The Gap commercial brought me here ❤❤ 11/22/2020

[@AprilMartinChartrandMS]

Pure Beauty.

[@Simply_Anthony83]

Lil buck has taken it to a whole new level

[@elizabethkoyle913]

Wow incredible and so beautiful 💗

[@walterF205]

It's 1.1.2018 and I'm watching the Roberto Bolle's tv special broadcast on italian RAI1 about his dance. Guest (among the others) appears this guy, Lil Buck - never seen him before, totally unknown to me. Ok, it seems interesting, a top star classical dancer together with a modern dancer... I start searching somethings about him on my i-pad on YT, and I find this clip in Beijing: press play, clip start, and - WTF - at the same instant Lil Buck on tv perform identical ballet! What an estranging moment! For few seconds I've had 2 Lil Buck that danced perfectly syncronized. I didn't know what and who to look, mindblowing (and... What a Dancer!)

[@xixiavue8621]

Absolutely breathless!

[@brownmullins]

Master Riley is my dream teacher. Maybe God will bless me in my next life and learn from him. Still crying.

[@samuelyuan291]

Amazing playing by Yo yo ma. The combination of classical music and dance is suprising, but well-exectuted by Lil' Buck. Overall, a great performance.

[@taelynnwade7560]

I'm so late seeing this for the first time! so amazing 👏👏👏

[@美智子渡辺-u3q]

🦢羽🪶を広げて湖面を泳ぐかの様に踊るダンサーの優雅さと羽を休める姿にチェロ🎻💕を弾くY o-Yo Ma さんも引き込まれていきます❣️😍💕🦢✨🎻💗

[@nighttrain7404]

Freaking amazing

[@omnigaming2963]

I have to watch this for my music class

[@robertborelli9101]

Amazing!!!Soo sensitively performed.. Rosa

[@jacolienzachariasse1195]

I watched it over and over again now and each time I even loved it more than the time before! Amazing dancer combined with fabulous music!Fantastic modern interpretation of a swan! I would like to see also a free classical ballet interpretation from another dancer.Maybe synchron? This interpretation is very angular.I would also like to see an opposite version.

[@dionysus4778]

He's not just a extremely creative and talented dancer, he's a yogi master

[@ElizabethEllisCoach]

Genius ❤

[@lilMarco15]

[@kingmojo9682]

Well said

[@ccartesr]

La primera vez que ví me conmovió tanta belleza, cada vez que lo veo la emoción me inunda, como estar frente a lo sagrado, difícil de explicar

[@kenmurphy6792]

I was just wondering .. Has 'Lil' Buck' ever broke or even twisted an ankle ?? How he shifts his weight from side to side, distributing it so as to maintain nearly perfect balance .. is quite a feat and, an amazing thing to watch. I saw Charles Riley, aka Lil' Buck performing LIVE, on the sidewalk in Times Square NYC, and he simply dazzled the huge crowd that had gathered in what seemed like hardly no time at all. 'Break Dancing' was really BIG back in the day in New York City and there were many performers around trying our their 'moves' .. but, none were as talented as Lil' Buck !! ~~

[@jacquesprevert1902]

This is beautiful!!!!!!

[@ЛюдмилаЛепская-х9ш]

Потрясающий, трогательный номер !!! Исполнитель- ТАЛАНТИЩЕ !!!!

[@anjelicarose9871]

Only 66 comments? Might have to comment on this everyday for more visibility. This was off the chain.

[@nlss.9603]

I bet the people in the audience were not expecting to see this kind of performance. They likely paid big bucks to hear and see Yo Yo Ma. I wonder what the audience felt or thought after seeing this young man dancing to Yo Yo Ma's 'The Swan.'

[@st3435]

Judging by the standing ovation, I'll go out on a limb and say they liked it.

[@mitsousme]

A great artist and a great dancer !

[@galiciasgone9651]

[@DrawerFullofRocks]

Exquisite

[@MikeKoPhotography]

Just wow!

[@julybailey4239]

Please forgive my ignorance but I wonder how on earth he is so graceful in sneakers? Is it possible that he has them greased in something on the bottom to slide? I'm astonished at the beauty of this performance. So talented. I feel honored to have witnessed this...

[@kencooper2358]

You should check his roots and where he learned dancing, then you will understand why he makes it look so easy and graceful to dance in sneakers. He is probably the so called GOAT of jookin (a dance originally from Memphis, Tennessee)

[@jasminesalgado3896]

What are these dance moves called

[@tabithadorcas7763]

Wow!

[@throwdatassincircle6769]

SACRILIGIOUS

[@florcavenagi92]

Muy bueno el bailarín. Muy irritante como lo filman. Se pierde lo que transmite. La cámara de frente sola hubiera estado bien.

[@wolfwoodacres]

Beautiful. Also interesting that the audience is predominantly "white". Hm.

[@samuelmignery1313]

So beautiful
