Sadly the YouTube extracts of Platt in the Hollywood film Tonight And Every Night stop before the Hitler section so one needs to find a copy of the whole movie to see this remarkable sequence in full.

You can buy one here - Tonight and Every Night [1945] [DVD] https://www.vicpine.co.uk/Tonight-And-Every-Night.htm The feeble plot involves red-headed Rita falling for pilot Lee Bowman and blonde Janet Blair for dancer Marc Platt. Platt was a weak actor but a good dancer; here he has a bizarre number in which he mimes to one of Hitler's speeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borzoi Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I will be helping a friend with her three Borzoi backstage at a performance of Giselle by the Grand Kyiv Ballet of Ukraine on March 13. I'm hoping to get some decent photos (if allowed). Might be a circus, as one of the zois is a 10 month old puppy who thinks he is a kangaroo! I have visions of him jumping on the table where the Duke and Bathilde are enjoying their refreshments. Kidding! We'll have a tight hold on him. I will give a debriefing and post photos if I get any decent ones.

Borzoi Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Thanks for removing! Will repost once I get permission from her. Hope to get photos of my own from backstage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I just looked up your name Borzoi so just cottoned on that it’s a type of Russian hunting dog. So that should be interesting on stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's doing it (and very elegant it is) so it's 'real'... and I suppose it can be broken into component parts. What larks! Pas de lapin tr. 'no bunny'. And I don't think a pas known to be handed down from Pierre Beauchamp or Carlo Blasis and but who knows? Edited April 2 by Roberta 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Ummm, I thought this was an April Fool! The dancer featured is based in Queensland, I think, so almost 12 hours ahead of us here in the UK. But he dances the step sooooo beautifully! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) How have I missed 'internet sensation' 'YouTube dancing star' Audrey Nethery so far in my life? Kudos to New York City Ballet dancers and of course, Audrey! 🩰 There's apparently a whole lot more Audrey to catch up with... (More about Audrey here. She's grown since her Sugar Plum debut! https://www.youtube.com/@scottnethery9414/videos) Edited April 3 by Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borzoi Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 On 27/02/2024 at 10:45, Sim said: I very much look forward to hearing your report from front and back stage!! Well, the performance did not go on because the truck carrying the costumes and scenery was involved in an accident on the freeway. There were no human injuries, thank goodness, but the truck was damaged and would not be able to make it to the theatre in time for the performance. We arrived at the theatre, as per instructions, at 3:00 p.m.. Baby Pumpkin got loose in the parking garage (which gave us a minor heart attack), but he was retrieved without incident. We had to walk a couple of blocks to the theatre. A parade of two frazzled ladies with three giant Borzois is not something downtown Fort Pierce sees every day! We caused a couple of traffic jams and arrived at the theatre in time to see a group of beautiful young people (the dancers!) preparing to board a bus. They went crazy when they saw the dogs and one girl had tears in her eyes. My heart went out to them, as they were so far from home. They all wanted photos with the dogs, so we put their jeweled collars on them and had a field day snapping photos. It was an enjoyable afternoon and made up (somewhat) for the disappointment about the performance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
