“This little trick”—hovering in the air — 4 Comments

  1. Yesterday I read in Russian newspaper that Maya, in her 82, is going to dance in Spain at folk festival. How is this possible?

  2. I know less than nothing about ballet, but have watched the BMX motocross riders do strange things at the top of their leaps above the dirt – they center on themselves not the ground and rotate and whirl – then realize they must come back down. That last still is awesome, especially when you consider she is 1, so high, 2 going to come down smoothly, 3 and going to leap that high immediately after. Thanks.

  3. sergey: Take a look at this earlier post of mine about Plisetskaya. It contains links to videos of her dancing “The Dying Swan” at the age of 67, and one of her “dancing” at a benefit around the age of 80. In the first, she actually dances en pointe and looks like a woman in her 30s. In the second, she doesn’t really dance, she just walks around gracefully. My guess is that’s what she will do at the folk festival in Spain—strike some graceful poses and walk around looking beautiful and elegant.
