Very good indeed. That's what American choreographers are very good at, and when they are successful it is really worth watching. European modern choreography is a quite different cup of tea but both can be very good.
Pretty cool! Although it is more visual effects than dancing...Typhoon wrote:114767889
Russia ballet legend Maya Plisetskaya dies aged 89
Russian ballet legend Maya Plisetskaya has died in Germany aged 89, the director of the Bolshoi Theatre says.
Vladimir Urin says she died of a heart attack. "The doctors tried everything, but there was nothing they could do," he is quoted as saying by Tass agency.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his "deep condolences" to Plisetskaya's family and relatives.
Plisetskaya joined the Bolshoi in 1943, captivating audiences around the world with the purity of her performances.
In 1960, she became the Bolshoi's prima ballerina.
Among her acclaimed roles were Odette-Odile in Swan Lake, Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty and Carmen in Carmen Suite.
Plisetskaya left the stage aged 65, becoming a choreographer and giving master classes around the world.
She moved to the German city of Munich with her composer husband Rodion Shchedrin in 1991.

Fayard and Harold Nicholas were a fantastic set of flash-dancers who performed as the Nicholas Brothers. Born seven years apart, the brothers performed for decades on stage and screen, later teaching dance to Michael and Janet Jackson, among many others. In the performance below from Stormy Weather, many of their trademark moves are on display -- jumping down stairs into splits, sliding up from splits without using hands, and gleefully jumping through orchestra stands, while tap-dancing in unison.
Fred Astaire once called this performance “the greatest dance number ever filmed.”
Mikhail Baryshnikov said, “Those guys are perfect examples of pure genius.”
