La fille mal gardée - Alexander Gorsky - Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold 4th Scholarship prize winner offered by Oak Foundation Audience favourite prize offered by Arte Concert
As a South African myself, and a former dancer, I am so so proud of Leroy. What a beautiful dancer and what joy he exhibits when he dances. Brought tears to my eyes, tears of pride that he hails from my country
Splendid, splendid performance! I saw his more modern turn on stage just before this video, and I don't recall if both were from the same year, but if they were (or even if they were not), his mastery of the two forms is superb - and so is his stage presence - he lights it up like a beacon! I hope he has a wonderful career.
"""What a natural performer there really is a difference the steps are choregraphed,refined , rehearsed but you can't teach that love for the stage you can see it ......he was "home""✨👏👏👏💖😄✨✨
BRAVO LEROY, What fabulous elevation, you're in the process of rocketing to the heavens and beyond. Go Leroy, everything out there is,waiting for you to claim it.
I don't think he's ever heard of gravity, or if he has,,he simply defies it. He gives a new meaning to the term Balloon,(elevation). His main talent is that he makes the whole variation look as if he's doing nothing more strenuous than strolling round to the ice cream parlour on a,spring afternoon. You GO Leroy, you bring much joy to a world that badly needs it.
When it looks effortless, you know you have a magical performer. Brilliant. The best is when someone can jump and look as if they stay at the height of the jump, levitating for just a moment. Astonishing.
Great smile. Great passion. Great footwork. Something is still missing. Maybe it's just like watching his performance rather than becoming enthralled by it. Whenever Mikhail danced, everything about him made you enthralled. That's what is missing from all other ballet dancers. I wish this kid much success in his career😊
