A personal favourite. Just beautiful. Strange though, im a 45 year old builder and i dare not tell my work mates that every evening of the week i watch ballet videos as i would get laughed off the job. Guilty pleasure i suppose.

I actually saw them actually perform this as a child!!

Wow that was STUNNING.

[TheFlicka28]

Anybody know what year this was?

@tilerman ballet has a strange beauty about it - more power to those who can appreciate it

After that Swan Lake in Vienna, the applause went on forever (they got in the Guiness book of records for that purpose). And Dame Margot was 48. I saw them both quite often and I still marvel about it.

This means so much to me as Margot signed my ballet certificates many moons ago.

Quite appalled at some of the vile comments made here about such a beautiful artform, and the physical demands that are made on the performers. Even the coarsest of minds should at least be moved by the haunting music score.

@meiro00102 So you are bitter and angry and you dont know why! No problem to me. I meet people like you regular. As for your insults, can you do better? Been working on sites since i was 14 and heard much much better insults than yours, most a bit more up to date and a bit more smarter than yours aswell. Im not going to get into a slanging match with a stranger, but if you wish to do so go ahead. I will say one thing, sexually you may be in denial, dont fight it, you know you want to.

@tilerman once I was doing some kickboxing and I must say the people there were weaklings AND very unflexible compared to ballet dancers. Most men are just show-offs. They are insecure because they are suffering under their homophobia. A gay man wouldn´t do ballet because he would be afraid of that it would be too conspicuous. A "normal" man wouldn´t be afraid of something like this. Compared to ballet, kickboxing is pretty lame.

If I ever become a mother, I will do what my wish my mother would have done when I was three, or seven, or eleven, all the way to the current eighteen years of my life and put me a ballet class. Even if she quits at one point, at the very least, she would have learned the basic foundation of grace.
