If you think ballerinas are all light and gracious you might be wrong. Odette or Dying Swan may as well be quite solid and two-metres tall - when interpreted by men. Male ballet company Trocadero has performed in Moscow, leaving classical ballet lovers with mixed feelings.

  • Shimmy, it's a parody. Gender bending. Talented dances with a gift of humor.

  • Not too long ago, women were not alowed to dance on stage, and it was only men. They are doing what it was before...but, they look like drag.....not sure about that...

  • @JesseBalletstar They've been around for 35 years, and it's all in good-natured fun, for goodness sake! The truth is, many who had never seen a ballet or despised it have changed their tune because of this, and because of this, ballet is seen by many who would have otherwise ignored it. They work very hard to do what they do, and they are all skilled dancers...they have to be to pull this off! They are like the PDQ Bach of the ballet world, and many appreciate the art now because of them.

  • i love the trocadero ballet comapny not just because they but a comidic twist to the classical ballent and not just because of the sheer talent they give off but the one thing that makes me love them soo much is the pure passion you feel when you see them dance! <33
