I was a member of the Detroit Chamber Ballet 🩰 Society in the 1980's, which was a Russian Ballet 🩰 Troupe whose teachers were former members of the New York City Ballet 🩰, Mr. Louie Ravenal n Ms. Lorna Simmonds, who were married at one time. They taught me for 6 years n our most beloved dancers were Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova!!! Misha is the quintessential classical dancer who combined jazz, blues, classical music n old standards together to make up this ab fab version of "One More For The Road"". He captured Frank Sinatra's ease and style to the ultimate essence, n no one could ever be so simplistic n so complicated all at once!!! Much Love 💕 to both Sinatra and Misha!!!!
One of the best performances ever! She doesn't seem to have bones in her arms. That was her signature everytime she performed it. We are watching a real swan approaching it's death. And ultimately...passing away! In a most dignified and beautiful way it can ever be!!!💎❤️🙏🌹
Ο Θεός της έδωσε χάρισμα και σε μας τη δυνατότητα να απολαύσουμε την αρμονία,τη χάρη της.σαν να μην έχει αρθρώσεις.το πιο εκπληκτικό είναι η ηλικία της.το μπόρεσε τόσο μεγάλη! Αυτο είναι το δώρο Του σ εμάς.να την χαρούν πάνω από μια γενιά!! Ένας άγγελος.! Ο κύκνος θα τη ζήλευε..ίσως θαθελε έτσι να πεθανει
In 1966 my fiancé and I were thrilled to attend Swan Lake with Maya Plisetskaya as principal dancer at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver during the Bolshoi’s visit. Celebrating 56 years of marriage this week and still cherish that memorable evening.
Such a brilliant combination of Mischa’s control and Tharp’s loose, casual, swinging moves that actually require equal control & mastery. Thanks for this!
This is the most beautiful russia NOT PUTIN! Imagine a world of art, kindness , wisdom ; that we all may be such angelS? ……not covet your neighbor’s country -killing Russians - Ukraine citizens , children ……..so out of the measure called HUMANKIND! SO OUT OF THE BEAUTIFUL:L MAYA !
I saw him perform this in Buenos Aires at Teatro Colón. His work with Twyla Tharp was one of the greatest collaborations during is dancing career. I thought he would not be able to de-structure his ballet training for what Twyla needed from him. The transformation was mind blowing. I had watched nearly all Twyla had choreographed for her Company (VHS days). To me it is the most fascinating body work I had seen in my whole life. Push Comes to Shove is superb. I saw the movie of The Catherine Wheel. Astonishing. She saw into the future! The disintegration of the family unit, now standard practice! A Genius. Both Baryshnikov and Twyla showed the world what was coming. 1981!!! ♥️
Κοιτάζεις την Μάγια στον θάνατο τού κύκνου και αναρωτιέσαι αν αυτά τα χέρια έχουν οστά. Νιώθω ευλογημένα που την έχω δει από κοντά όταν ήμουν 10 χρόνων.
