There is everything in NYC schools (Ballet Tech, Latin School, etc) but no school for African Drumming/dance, Taino School, or Zulu School. There is a lot of white supremacy occurring, and children who love white culture get options; those who love their original black (or Native American) culture get ignored.

my mom did it on roller skates

Fabulous, just incredible !

Thank you.

In the movie he wasn't doing a ballet performance he was winning a bet he did not have to do it like he was in a performance.

11 pirouettes! 11 Rubles!

There´s a principal reason that we need to considered that a great ballet dancer practice a lot of time to mainteina the control in balance and the form with the technic that he need to take in all the body at the same time, and take the control for to increase the velocity en demi point, so we have many differents details that he use in form to mainteina the balance allways, and principal for to get 11 or 12 piruettes

Kralj baleta..... Neprevaziđeni....!!!!

I forbid him to age. I want him to stay frozen in time, as perfect as he was in this movie. That's an ORDER, Misha.

Perfekt analysiert by the speaker - totally agreement- my guess: it was on top of his gift the hardest training wourldwide at those time atttenting bolshoi Theater… he knew this and left …home … hardest way he went - but greatest gain for all who love this genre …

If he didn't hit the proper spot with his arms until the 6th one then does it count? Should he have got the rubles?

thanks man :)

Is for Hollywood, please… who would really care if it was technically correct… what mattered what the effect…… 😉

Because not cheating herself

Using her axis

👍😎

Spot palms at 5

Thanks for the tips!

I watched this movie in the Theater. I was counting out loud whisper that got louder and was shushed by people. I couldn't help it😀 My roommate was a skater and she was mouthing it in shock. He's wearing Dad shoes😳

When I saw moonwalk of MJ I was wow... . Finally I've learn to do it by myself. On the other hand, when I was dancing I've managed to do 4 to 6 turns in amator way... At that time I never imagined that is possible to execute more than 10 turns. Now I see and I'm more impressed than seeing MJ performed moonwalk. However, both of them were great artists. Models for us to overcome our limits.

The thing is to have better balance

Stop playing with the 🎤it's annoying 🤣🤣

Very interesting analysis. I learned

Without form on landing ?what?

He's incredible!

As I watch Vaganova trained dancers do pirouettes, my takeaway is their use of their back/upper body.

Every time I see this scene I wonder how many more pirouettes he could actually do? I mean, he made 11 look pretty easy!

Watching him stretch is the sexiest scene in the movie.

I could never do this, because I cannot even spell pirouette. :p

He is so amazing. I loved your breakdown of this scene. I don't dance but I can watch. Thank you so much.

11 Rubles for 11 pirouettes. Thank you for this analysis. This film had a big effect on me when I was a kid. I grew up breakdancing before there was an internet to watch dance instruction, so I tended to watch any and all dance films that I could find - even though almost none of them dealt with breakdance content. From Fred Astaire to Baryshnikov I was hooked. When I saw this film I went nuts trying to max out on pirouettes even though I didn't use them in breakdance routines or battles. I sure do wish I could have seen this video back then - who knows how many I could have learned...

Meraviglioso, sempre, per sempre.

Watching Gregory dance is a thing of beauty. It is true that Misha's footwork was not as clean when the two tap danced in tandem. But let's see Gregory attempt anything approximate in ballet before we speak of them as equal talents. Credit where credit is due.

This was a wonderful and enlightening video. I could never dance, not flexible enough, I tried. I just am in awe of people that can, even ones that are never "good". Thank you for breaking this down. I have to go watch this movie again and some of your other videos. New subscriber.

Ballet kicks butt. I have a brown belt in Judo, but an hour of ballet practice has me panting and the sweat pouring from my body. It's a great workout.

I remember celebrating like crazy when I did a triple in jazz class. 11?!? I’d die! 😂

I can barely WALK much less be the graceful beauty Mikhail is...I never get tired of watching perfection!! It was something I have wanted to always see...but I am 54.1 years old...I fear it is too late to see him dance...only one other person I have ever wanted to see live and that was completed...but this??? I would give up seeing the Northern Lights to watch this man perform!!!

There's a reason why he is considered by ALL critics and lists as the greatest ballet dancer of all time. He was the star in all of his performances. No one watched the ballerinas. He deserves the top title status. He was breathtaking to watch. No one comes close. Perfection in motion. He was able to do moves not duplicated by anyone else. Watching some of his moves would make you gasp. They were that WOW!!

It was not at the Bolshoi. The Soviet Union was very much in existence when this movie was filmed. They couldn’t film any of the movie in Russia.

Yes, but can he pop his ankle just by lying on a sofa watching this video?

11 rubles... 11 pirouettes! One of my favorite movies!!!

Thank you for this AMAZING POST! Much love from Chicago, Illinois!

The bet was 11 pirouettes for 11 rubbles, but I think he got 12. Youre right, the opening scene is amazing and utterly beautiful. The scene where he dances for his ex partner/girlfriend was unbelievable. I would love to find recordings of the singer but havent been able to. I forget the name.

Οχι μόνο το γύρισμα πού κάνει ,και την τεχνική πού είχε ,είναι το βλέμμα

I very often dream that I can do pirouettes endlessly. Idk why.

Opening his arms at the end also has the effect of slowing down his angular velocity. It's the opposite of when ice skaters pull in their arms to increase their angular velocity when they do those spins. Since Mischa was preparing to stop, he opened his arms, which slowed down his momentum, and allowed him to make that beautiful ending. These eleven pirouettes were a thing of beauty.

He as both power and control. Amazing 🤩
