Johan is just the best male dancer out there, espeically in the classical ballets. He has everything: acting, strength, stamina, great partnering, agility and such grace and effortless ease you don't often find in other male dancers. I've yet to find another male dancer who I've liked as much as Johan, he's just perfect.

Tamara is wonderful in these clips aswell, a perfect black swan, so tricksty :) Thank you for posting!

It looked like a series of impossibly difficult, well-executed class combinations. *Polite applause*

Tamara Rojo's cool, restrained elegance and finished brilliance are perfectly matched by Kobborg! Thank you!

Ah! Those en dedans he does in the coda in place of the usual tours to arabesque! Wow. When he prepped for them I (and I imagine much of the audience) was thinking, "now what the heck is he doing?" Then he just glides into a smooth 5 turns and lands so securely in arabesque. Twice, exactly the same way. I can see doing it once where there wouldn't be any pressure to do it exactly the same way again, but dang. Ridiculous.
