Saturdance! High Up in the Air...


That's right. HIGH up in the air is where she belongs.

My second favorite Prima Ballerina is Natalia Osipova. A beautiful young dancer {she is 25} who recently left the Bolshoi Theater to move to the Mikhailovsky Theater in St. Petersburg. She cited "artistic freedom" as her reason for leaving..... so did her fiance, the AMAZING Ivan Vasilev {the next Baryshnikov, as critics call him}.


Natalia has dance every single leading role but the ones I like for her are energetic, explosive roles, as the allegro & jumping are CLEARLY her thing. Check her out and try to disagree!










LUVS HER.

Happy Saturdance!!!!!!!!

Saturdance!!!

Honestly my loves..... as critics call him, "the next Baryshnikov" Ivan Vasiliev cannot be human. A person that good looking, sweet, talented, hot and adorable at the same time? PUH-LEASE!

His performance is extremely intense, very passionate and with impeccable technique.... really something to see..







Currently performing with theMikhaylovsky Theatre in St Petersburg, since Dec 2011... He was previously a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet. 

.......... he is the fiancee of Natalia Osipova, one of the most amazing ballerinas of our day, Natalia will be featured here next week ;) Vasiliev and Osipova left the Bolshoi together when they both moved to the Mikhailovsky.











This gave me goosebumps... read The Boy who can Fly.... {by the telegraph.co.uk}

"Such special artists come along only once in a generation. And for the Bolshoi, long expected to produce superheroes, it's been almost 20 years since Irek Mukhamedov departed for London, the last iconic Spartacus.

But now, here's Ivan. A schoolboy, still growing, who loves poetry and dogs, who arrived in Moscow from faraway Minsk last autumn aged 17 without a shred of aristocratic Bolshoi training, but who was catapulted instantly into the front ranks of the Bolshoi Ballet's attractions, dancing men's roles like a man, causing crackles of excitement among veteran watchers - a talent in a lifetime."



Enjoy Saturdance!!!!!!!!!

Totally note-worthy.... La Danse

Darlings! this is exciting and thrilling beyond words!...

“La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet,” opened this week, and according to reviewer A.O. Scott of The New York Times, “a feast for ballet lovers” and “one of the finest dance films ever made.” So hurry over to THE ERRANT AESTHETE, for a full and wonderful article (as usual!) on this masterpiece.



“What a thrilling week for dance onscreen.A portrait of one of theworld’s great companiesby one of theworld’s great vérité documentarians.

LA DANSE captures a living ecosystem.Beyond offering the privilegeof watching gorgeously photographed scenesfrom seven balletsclassically smooth and atonally jarring,LA DANSE is an anatomy.It’s about flesh and bone and sinew,about sublimity on Earth.”
David Edelstein, New York
Having been a balerina myself, and having a huge crush on the Paris Opera Ballet, this is grand. Certainly much anticipated and highly coveted. Me LIKEY!!!!
