Baryshnikov on Broadway with Liza Minnelli - From "Oklahoma" (1980)

[mayaboldyrlol]

Ой, Барышников... Он как Чудо... с большой буквы... и сколько работы во всём. Брызжет энергия, жизнерадостность и обаяние.

[PhaedrusNYC]

These clips are great- what sequence should they be watched in?

Can't help loving Baryshnikov - and he was so right for not doing ONLY classical ballet. He's bursting with buoyancy, exuberance and powerful energy like a fountain. He usually overshadows everyone around him.

@mayaboldyrlol Not to speak of his technique... :)

That's SUZANNE WALKER dancing the big solo with Baryshnikov! I knew her a few years after this production as a very talented modern/jazz dance teacher at Wright State University, in Dayton, Ohio in the mid-1980's. We did a few dance concerts together. She also co-choreographed a production of HAIR that I was in at the university in 1986. This lady is a REAL TALENT.

@TheRootsMan

I can't believe I came across this! I had Suzanne at Wright State when I was a dance major there! It was her last year as an instructor, but she made a huge impact on me. I remember everyone begging her to show us this video and we finally saw it...and now I got to see it again after quite some time...she really is pure talent!!!

1:52 is too funny! They jump up in the air together, and then she comes down.... and he's still flying and then he comes down. She's not quite up to his technique (not that I am bashing her - I mean: how could she be?).
