I think you are right. It very well may be Ivan Vasiliev. It looks like his body and lord knows he was capable of pulling of a jump / posture like that is his sleep! Thanks again for this inspired collection!!
Thanks for showing us that it was once okay to be a ballet dancer and (1) not be anorexic-looking, and (2) usually only raise your leg waist-high. Even though Western companies are encouraging dancers to be more "normal" in terms of weight, we have a lot of skeletal contortionists. If you'll excuse the pun, it's starting to wear a little thin. Thanks again for showing us how it used to be, a long time ago.
oh...what a sensitive comment. thank you for sharing your thoughts..they convey my feelings exactly. the super technique obsessed dancers of today often lose the true, emotional and passionate element of dance. it becomes overshadowed, and it is something we lose with time. this, is one of the reasons why we find so many old dancers unique, and timeless...
