Carmen - Roland Petit

[ValZote]

If there is perfection in this crazy world... well, look at its best!

PS -rest in peace, Roland, when people like you leave- it is a big loss for all.

Genial!

After watching everyone from ZIzi to Ferri perform this exquisite pas de deux, over the years, it remains perhaps the most perfect dance work ever....Roland Petit at his finest.

Ballet doesn't seem to be all that hard for men as it can be for women

[XxBallerina4ChristxX]

@FloatingBlossom in some ways, yes. In other ways, no.

Girls have it harder because we do EVERYTHING in a pdd, and all the guy has to do is lift. But guys have insanely crazy high jumps, faster and longer turns, and such. But they dont have to wear pointe shoes... so I guess it evens out. But I think the difficulty of their style of dancing is harder than the girls'.

roland petit's "arlesienne" is also worth checking out, if one can find it

[ralu4mike]

OMG the best presetation, simply beautiful

[strangesugarfairy]

it's unbelievable how much emotion they are able to lay into their dancing... BEAUTIFUL.
