Sophoife Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Allister Madin (ex-Paris Opera, Royal New Zealand Ballet and Béjart Ballet) has today posted a video to YouTube of himself dancing "Fokine's Dying Swan". En pointe, black shoes and black trousers, shirtless. I will be interested in others' thoughts. Personally, I loved it. https://youtu.be/xnsMSfXsuV4 Edited May 9, 2022 by Sophoife En pointe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I thought it really worked , swans are strong birds out of water and the dancer captured this as well as beauty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I absolutely loved it! I found his arms and back particularly moving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) While not normally my 'cup of tea', I do tend to like this one. I'm usually ballerina-centric in a work such as this, but when a male dancer can produce something genuinely from his 'soul,' well....
