  • Why is all the video digitally obscured? Most of this video footage is/was shot at the Tulsa Ballet Theater studios... You look really different than the Jonathon that was in Tulsa Ballet 10 years ago...

  • the transfer from vhs to digital lowers the quality substantially. And of course I look different. I am guessing than in another 10 or 20 years I will look even more different... ;-) So do I know you?

  • Wow! I never thought I'd say this about a male dancer, but damn that was beautiful. You just blew me away. Awesome vid, bro.

  • Wow! That was really good! You had really clean technique..how far up were you in the ranks of both companies? like corps? soloist? principal?

  • muy bonito!

    

  • @Gogetano1 - speaking as one who has done ballet and martial arts (mostly Aikido), I would say that probably the ballet will help the martial arts more than vice-versa. Ballet is foundational. Of course, there are differences in details, and you have to watch for that when you're doing both.

  • BEAST

  • Currently doing martial arts, will that help with ballet ?

  • stunning! I really wish I had enough strength to pirouette like you...3 turns is my maximum!!!!

  • most excellent! i did ballet and "jazz dancing" as a kid. back then "normal boys" did NOT do such things. when i was a tight end in football i was "exceptional" or so i was told. dancing as a kid made ALL the difference.

  • very beautiful

    i luvd it :)

  • ballet is great for balance and footwork it can help if you want to learn martial arts

  • wow your amazing ! x

  • OMG amazing!!!!!!1
