not gonna lie I prefer him when he's much more upbeat and intense....but as a dancer myself I know yo don't want to get type casted and he can't always be Megabadass all the time
Chopiniana is the correct nickname for this. Baryshnikov is the best male dancer (classical anyways) of the 20th century!!! When you look at how perfect his execution is, on every level, in this role thats the only you could watch this just like Corsaire...So far in the first half of the 21st century, that title is held by Carlos Acosta...The only person who has actually surprised Misha AND has a much nicer line :-)
You probably confused "La Sylphide" with "Les Sylphides". The first is the celebrated first ballet en pointe of the history, 1832, choreographed by Maria Taglioni's father. The second is a ballet in one act, music elaborated on Chopin's, sometimes also called "chopiniana", 1909, first rapresentation choreographed by Fokine and danced by Vaslav Nijisky.

I think Barishnikov doesn't fit in this role: his line is not good, his expression is not sincere, his dance is not lyrical, finally I can't see his romantism in this very romantic ballet... :(
I want to marry him

Is it really "Silphida"? It looks like "Shopeniana".

He's amazing. Such grace, rare in a man, and yet, he's very masculine...Truly a rare combination.
