Many congrats to the proud parents - and wonder if she's named after Margot Fonteyn? 1 hour ago, FionaE said: Enjoy 😉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CJwLJJLHFsQ/?igshid=1ca4mf47d4n4m That really is very clever - thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Great, Sim. Thank you. Could I add a brief one, featuring the wonderful ballerina Maria Kochetkova at her balletic finest, which also received a delighted response from both Alexei Ratmansky and Aurelie Dupont. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHfWRVFR5G/ (thanks to Pherank at Ballet Alert!)

It's currently being repeated on BBC4 and the first episode included a long segment about Fred Astaire. Lovely to watch excerpts from classics like 'Top Hat' and even better to see Steven McRae reproducing some of his amazing tap sequences. Should still be on iPlayer if you missed it. Highly recommended! Linda And its back - first episode Friday 22 January at 19:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Actually, this isn't the same series but an earlier one about musicals in the theatre. Still, an excellent programme - well worth your time. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletfanp Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think the song is high up in the UK charts at the moment - or so I discovered on looking it up! I’m way behind the times these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I did just that, Ian. Seems that sea shantys are trending amongst the young at the moment. I had no idea! And the Poor Clare nuns are at number 5 in the charts, a few below Wellerman. This all makes me happy! 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sea Shanties apparently took off on TikTok. As for Muntagirov - virtuosity, humour, invention, positivity in spades. Amazing - especially when dancers generally have hit a low ebb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trog Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 What happens if you mix ballet and magic? Yan Yan Ma shows you. There are several clips of her on youtube (some with an annoying voice over). Her she is as an assistant in a short story 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Again not ballet - but certainly theatrical .... and it does reference 'little girls in ballet dresses'. I was asked to record this as part of a series that will soon be released. It's Noel Coward's 'The Boy Actor'. Very much a character study .... and - at least for me - an act of coordination trying to hold the phone still. Thought you might enjoy it .... and some of the young students auditioning might well be able to identify/laugh along with certain segments. (Well, it's a hope anyway.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Bruce: Many thanks and, since you wonder, I found it a thoroughly satisfying few minutes. My few school year brushes with the theatre seem pallid by comparison with the expectation engendered here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
