  • I think I understand this piece. He's a life insurance agent, and he's trying to entice her to buy a policy. She expresses the fragile impermanence of life, thus conveying her disinterest in buying a policy, and he switches gears by trying to make a date with her.

  • The LINES on that girl are so acutely articulate, it's painfully gorgeous. When she hits that attitude-BAM-spot on the music, i know it's time for more technique class and practice(for me). Dancing like that inspires me to try however hard & long it takes to attain that nuance and beauty of control.

  • I think Janie Taylor is the best ballet dancer in America. Every time I see her I am transfixed.

  • at 1:31, you can hear the sound of my heart breaking. Beautiful.

  • brilliant...

  • The music is Piano Etude No. 2 by the legendary Philip Glass.

  • @massivevan -- There supposed to be that way sweetheart. The form fittedness of much of ballet wear is meant to capture the art of the body itself, additional to the dance.

  • did any one else notice that her leotard was really see through... im sorry but that was really distracting. but other than that she is an absolutly beautiful dancer.

  • What's the title of this music?

  • They're so synchronized, as if they were one. Beautiful!

    And great choreography. I like that the male dancer not only work as a helping hand, but actually gets to dance. And the lifts, especially at 3,14 and 3,26 - love it!
