Amazing ballet ... but this is not Greek dance!

@drummerhellas The ballet is a unique creation from Maurice Béjart, who choreographed the Seven Greek Dances, on the music the Greek Mikis Theodorakis composed. Béjart was not trying to copy any Greek dance, he created a sublime unique ballet, and no, a ballet is not a traditional dance. Traditional dances are from special regions of countries, their people, and are born out of the music of the people, playing on their own unique fantastic beautiful sounding folk instruments.

That is great, thank you! I first saw Mr.Gascard's Greek Dances on a random DVD from Japan, given to me by a friend of mine, and fell in love - Mr.Gascard doing both parts of the Dances. I did a research, and came up with the information I gave you. Since then I tried to to look for Mr.Gascard's name - there was nothing else, except the Leningrad. And you can see Mr.Bejart watching - that is priceless. I was just wondering what happened to this beautiful dancer>>

The Greek Dances were choreographed by Maurice Bejart for Michel Gascard, who danced them incredibly beatifullly in Japan, late 80's. Have not seen the better version since.
