Carlos Acosta in Don Quijote

[TheAscendingOne]

0:15 is so incredible :O

[charlesmdk]

Ummmmmm telll me if i'm wrong but does he do a triple tour at 00:31?

[InuYasha1036]

@charlesmdk No he is just doing a beautiful double, and pulling in for some of the most awesome 8 pirouettes ever just before that. I'm sure he could throw a triple in if he felt like it though

[charlesmdk]

I remember when i taught him to do that jajajaajajaja (I wish.....)

[hope1938]

This is in Muenchen Germany. Not in Royal Ballet

[nottacop]

What a showman, even being that far off in prep for double tour he pulls it together.

[magicalgrasshopper]

i hate him! :)

[raulishnikov]

haha Who don't.... So impecable... so precise... Such an artist and performer... who wouldn't? LOL...

[magicalgrasshopper]

tell me about it,wait until you do class alongside him

you will hate him even more!

[Peterim1]

That has GOT to be such a treat, as well as demoralizing. :)

[magicalgrasshopper]

his pirouettes are the best ive ever seen

i saw him do 9 and finish in a perfect arabesque

he has the most beautiful legs and feet and really uses to floor to get off the ground in allegro.the thing about him is he looks so massive on stage but his body is actually incredibly lean and toned

[pediatrapaola]

@magicalgrasshopper NOT AGREE HE IS FANTASTIC BUT THERE WERE BEST TURNERS

[magicalgrasshopper]

@pediatrapaola this video is incredible but he has improved so much since this video was taken..if you look at him in his prime,the placing,technique,control and port de bras he has when pirouetting cannot be critiqued,its so perfect.watch the diana and acteon video,you will see what i mean.best pirouettes i have ever seen

[maypeyabbu]

[Oigenn]

By the way is the Bavarian State opera not Royal Ballet.

[StangGirl4]

[roosaaremartin717]

whats the jump in the beginning called?

[stoneguy1234]

its called a reveltard (sorry, not sure on the spelling) but its quite unusual to see it done with a bent leg, usually both legs are held together.

[RS100392]

its a different kinda of revoltade I think that it has a different name but im not sure

[raulishnikov]

it's just endedans instead of endehors.
