"The Lake" section of Alvin Ailey's "The River". Music by Duke Ellington, choreography by Alvin Ailey. Cynthia Gregory and Marcos Paredes soloists. American Ballet Theater 1973
It's when one sees great great dancers and performances such as this that one laments all the more modern atrocities such as Alina Somova.
One would suggest the tedious Somova acolytes who laud her truly dreadful performances on Youtube clips watch your phenomenal selection of clips and gems from ballet's history, but I fear like the disciples with the newly arisen Christ they would see with their eyes yet not believe.
@arunah11 Its meant to be dark- gives the affect of a river in the night
