Baryshnikov lesson in New York City Ballet (2003)

[Auspexable]

Uhmm ok, b/c i didnt expect to see much of Baryshnikov...

[Mrsverysuperstar]

She is flying like butterfly, no efforts, so natural. 

[jorg315]

i saw the russian "aleksander petrovsky" :D:D

[littlesheep11]

OMG is she a proncipal or something???? AMAZING. i love how barishnikov still kicks ass ;)

[LifeResort]

I like her turns in 0:34-0.44. And look at the ppl behind her. They all stunned watching her! :D

[dancefunkjazz]

Divina, una reinita de la danza

[sugarplumcherry6]

she's such an amazing turner...

[thecrowrains]

IN HIS PRIME, MISHA WOULD DANCE CIRCLES AROUND THESE GUYS LITERALLY IN HIS SLEEP! BARYSHNIKOV'S POISE, PRESENCE, AND PERFECTION OF CHARACTER WERE FLAWLESS TO THESE ''NEW-AGE'' DANCERS!

[mikeinhayastan]

what is the name of the piece when she is jete-ing across the room??

[Darapsa]

I love Baryshnikov's face at about 54 sec because my 13 yr old daughter and all of her classmates have some little something they do in class that would be unacceptable onstage. Dancer's ticks they are called. Sofiane sucks in her bottom lip. This is a good video for every dancer because we all suffer Dancer ticks. :)

SIGHH....WOW!

[TCoffey8]

This is NYCB...I see atleast 2 of their current female principle dancers !! Jamie Taylor and Megan Fairchild. Another ballerina also in this video, Dana Hansen is now on the PNB teaching faculty.

[jglooo]

This is mis-titled. Should be Sofiane Sylvie at American Ballet Theatre.

[jglooo]

Whoops, @ NYCB.

[paurdz22]

@scapin2207 yes he played a rol in sex and the city !! But he also is a famous ballet dancer ;)

[Mspendragon72]

@paurdz22 ...LOL...HEEHEE XDD! INDEED!

[mikeinhayastan]

does anyone know the name of the music playing when she's doing those leaps towards the end?

[scapin2207]

call me silly...but...didn't he play aleksanr petrovsky in sex and the city?

[mayaboldyrlol]

@scapin2207 Yes, and not only in sex and the city! :)

[grimreepeer1]

of course baryshnikov at 55 is doing a la seconde pirouettes of course nbd

[guitar4art]

She is ok but then again I studied under Balanchine and Skibine. I have seen many just as beautiful, just as talented and more so. We all make an effort to be our best but we never really get there do we?

[kimmois1]

@guitar4art Especially not when we're a lying sack of shit you dumb cunt.

[RONIDC1979]
