@OliOliLim: This is an interpretation of The Dying Swan (originally The Swan), a 1905 ballet choreographed Mikhail Fokine for Anna Pavlova. And yep, the music is Camille Saint-Saëns's Le Cygne from Le Carnaval des Animaux. It's not related to Swan Lake at all. Pretty awesome though huh! :)

Why is this called Dying Swan?? Is that what lil Buck named his choreography because the piece is The Swan from carnival of the animals. Beautiful cello solo. Why is it tagged black swan white swan and Swan Lake. I'm confused. Is this being ignorant or is it actually deliberate to have these tags because to be honest I can't really see the association
