Swans, little and big — 9 Comments

  1. Immense skill and grace. What’s the step where they all jump in the air together and “clap” their feet 4 times. How do they do that?

  2. “Tossed off lightly,” the very definition of “sprezzatura.”

  3. Thank you again for your posts on ballet. I love Swan Lake–the music–but the dancing just looks silly to me. Your essays are a very good reminder to me that we all don’t have to like the same things: true diversity and inclusivity! They also remind me that all the work the dancers put into their performances is very much appreciated by those who find the dancing lovely–even if I don’t understand it. (Actually, your posts help me understand mentally, if not emotionally, the attraction of this form of art.)

  4. Loved the dance class clip – which drove home how much talent and work goes into “making it look easy”.

    And thanks to the other posters for some of the other clips. I really liked both male variations that were posted.
