@JUSTINMILL3R They could. They have more strength than women actually, but the purpose of dancing on pointe is to be graceful, weightless, and delicate - none of these features resemble men :) men are suppose to do all that awesome jumps and seem very elegant and strong.
Arta, honestly, your forceful effort to convince us to visit your channel and that silly intro kind of ruined this vid for me. We are all thankful to you for uploading this for us, but please, less is sometimes more.
I think it will be enough just to put a note "thanks for watching, please visit my channel -link- for more" at the very end or beggining of the video next time... I am sure that everyone, who really liked this will visit your channel also without asking :)
@Digemini8 Markovsky was married to Kirov ballerina Alla Osipenko. They both left the Kirov in the early 70s to dance with rogue ballet choreographer Boris Eifman (a very daring move at the time). They made a huge splash by doing a pas de deux to some music by Pink Floyd (a band which wasn't really approved of in the 70s USSR). Alla and John divorced later in the 70s and she went on to retire and teach all over the world. I've seen rumors that John is currently living in Israel.
@Koveena15 why do you concern yourself with how these people prefer sex? that has nothing to do with this work of art. in fact the composer was gay, still like it?
it's simply amazing how the jester/servant can do all those piroettes (don't know how to write it), go round and round and then still manage to land so completely "wobble-free" in a planned pose!
Siggy is not hot at all. I don't know what crack pipe people are smoking. I know beauty is subjective and more than skin deep, but damn. That Jester dude is way hotter. And this ballet rocks.
I think the jester's my favourite dancer so far. :) That ballet dancer must be sooo dizzy by the end of each of his "spin fests". :) Possibly some of that other dancing was too fancy for me, but I loved the en pointe. Very good.
Why dont the men stand on thier toes?? Are they not able?
