I guess the argument here about masculine and feminine boils down to this. As great as Nureyev was, he does have a soft femininity to him and when compared to, say, Baryshnikov, there is such a striking difference. Baryshnikov comes off fierce, muscular, athletic and manly. Nureyev to me has the beauty, lines and grace. It's really not one better than the other, it is just a huge contrast in styles, to my amateur eye, anyway.

He, being a man, danced with a somewhat feminine quality. So what, for goodness sake. It is said that Nijinsky had it too. Good for "Le spectre de la rose", that androginous quality, for example. A great dancer. That's it.

@kenjoneslee the contrast of feminine and masculine i think is quite nice and beautiful. its not to feminine or sentimental. its just a powerful man dances with feminine grace and sensitivity. if the developes are in skill not remarkable, we cannot deny the beauty, so it is in this peace well done.

lots of control...decent line, but a tad too feminine "soft", especially the arms and all the forward slow moving developes, which are not remarkable. Overall, decent technique, boringly slow music and choreography(nothing more creative than classroom combos). And by all means....remove the WIG!!!
