As fantastic as Misha is in this - "The Lady" as she is called here is Elaine Kudo and she is brilliant as well. Don't forget - She's the one getting thrown to the ground, flipped upside down, tossed in the air, doing splits and making it all look easy in a little black dress and heels without a hair out of place!!!!
I believe it's important to know Mikhail Baryshnikov was a great choreographer of the american ballet theatre & restructured the company to a high standard of classical ballet and contemporary ballet. He was way ahead of his time. He also choreographed and danced this performance. 0:28
Yes! But I'm so sad that he has aged out! He is by far the best-looking man I've EVER seen! His face and body are glorious, and he is one of the greatest ballet dancers ever born! What's not to like?!
This is "Sinatra" signature style spirit in motion. Combining the music of the original crooner with the world's best dancer is just sheer genius.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
this is amazing, their movements are so expressive!! i love the story and the characters they convey through this choreography - some parts are very provocative. their facial expressions are wonderful too.
Baryshnikov is in a class that only he inhabits as is Twyla Tharp the choreographer who mixes the sublime moves of ballet with the profane of modern dance and produces a visual feast every time. I saw this more than once with her dancers--all the songs are incredible but this is breathtaking.
This the "Sinatra Suite" (3 different songs by Mr. Sinatra)- choreographed by Twyla Tharp. You simply have to see the entire piece to get the full impact of both the dance and the music. It is unbelieveable.
Baryshnikov is HOT in this. I have this DVD and it's one of my favorite dances that he does. By the time he's walking away, throws his gum away, catches his coat, put's it on and makes it look like "oh yes, I have to catch her", is just sexy! The man, song, and `the dance just turns me on. To work with just one of many greats like Twyla Tharp, is the reason he defected from Russia all those years ago. The arts are what freedom is all about. You can't have freedom without the arts and the artists who create.
He came here to Memphis for a show. My parents took me..... it was the 70's. On the way out of the auditorium my dad took one of the signs directing everyone to Baryshnikov......I still have it. ❤
And BRAVO ELAINE KUDO! It 'takes two to Tango', and with this routine she has to take all the battering, still keep up with him - and most important of all - he couldn't throw her around like this without her tremendous physical and technical input. I know! At Theater Carre, Amsterdam 1964/5 season I was lumbered for one routine with a partner who had all t he verve and energy of a sack of potatoes and even the brilliant choreographer, George Carden tried it with her a couple of times and then quietly said to me, "Do the best you can, Llew!" So, as she only has one mention here - and that's not the originator - BRAVO, ELAINE KUDO!!!
I agree! Elaine Kudo was great, here! I don't like the choroegraphy since it looks like he is abusing her. But Ms. Kudo is the main attraction, here. Barishnikov is just partnering her.
To me he has the air n look of being bored wi it. I’m sure that’s part of the choreography of the piece. They were well matched for this. Some people would consider this to be foreplay and not abuse.
Why can't everyone get that this is a particular CHARACTER that is being acted out by the dancer relaying the ideas as seen thru the eyes of Twyla Tharp , the choreographer, as she interprets the song! If you have problems w/ this particular song - look at the rest of her Sinatra Suites that she choreographed where there is more romance and sweetness. It's art ... folks. A choreographer's take of a song interpreted by dancers.
And because he's acting cool and tough and sexy/dangerous all at the same time, bringing the girl character back over and over again because she can't take her eyes off him any more than we can.
Além de ir muito além padrão imposto pelas companhias de balé da época,ele era perfeccionista,fantástico,maravilhoso também no cinema,num único filme.Eterno mesmo.De Salvador/ Bahia/ Brasil.
Amazing! you can feel the male's domination and powerlessness of the female dancer. i'm really not a specialist or anything but I could feel everything. :) so powerful!

It takes 2. They had a momentum and understanding of each other's body language
I think she was better than he was
Kudos! ❤😊
@@57113 At the beginning, it is stated "choreographed by Twyla Tharpe."
There will never be another Baryshnikov. No one out there even close.
Agreed
Born to dance
Yes! But I'm so sad that he has aged out! He
is by far the best-looking man I've EVER seen!
His face and body are glorious, and he is one
of the greatest ballet dancers ever born! What's
not to like?!
Ever heard of Nureyev?
The gum chewing is an amazing detail... Damn
A dancer friend of mine commented: "The hardest part would be getting past OMG, OMG, I'm dancing with BARYSHNIKOV!!!"
Omg thats funny. I get it!! OMG OMG OMG
Vancoin agreed
Vancoin Baryshnikov drop dead gorgeous. I've seen one other guy in my lifetime who is just as handsome ... And he resembles. B!
#Me too!!! Lol
Incredible! Ms. Kudo, too, was remarkable, especially because she was doing all this in heels. Bravo Mr. B. and Ms. K. A joy to watch.
Fabulous !! He crossed over between ballet and other dance genres flawlessly. 💕
That catch at the end really fascinates me, what precision!
An Di Yes WOW!
It really is amazing!! ❤
Indeed,it was blind. Literally a leap of faith.
This is "Sinatra" signature style spirit in motion. Combining the music of the original crooner with the world's best dancer is just sheer genius.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
OH MY GOSH BARYSHNIKOV YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING
Is he still alive
Pat Keeler Born 1948, Riga,Latvia. Now choreographs per Google
Muito lindo , Love ❤️
this is amazing, their movements are so expressive!! i love the story and the characters they convey through this choreography - some parts are very provocative. their facial expressions are wonderful too.
I not only like the way he dances, but I like the way he chews gum. Hot damn, Mikhail!!
Love his gum chewing too! Misha took in everything in the American slang lexicon!!
I was thinking that too. He's chewing gum in a dance routine. Like that beyond expert to be allowed and able to do that.
Seinfeld: You are sooo right.The man is a 10.
Wow - they nailed this! Sinatra the bruiser with outstanding female ‘throw around’ - she was awesome
Baryshnikov is in a class that only he inhabits as is Twyla Tharp the choreographer who mixes the sublime moves of ballet with the profane of modern dance and produces a visual feast every time. I saw this more than once with her dancers--all the songs are incredible but this is breathtaking.

I just love to see Mikhail Baryshnikov dance ! it is so beautiful, I wish I once could look into his eyes , oh my god ........... its heavenly
Wow. Just, wow...
Thank you for turning me on to this. It has opened so many avenues in the world of dance that I can't wait to explore...

And because he's acting cool and tough and sexy/dangerous all at the same time, bringing the girl character back over and over again because she can't take her eyes off him any more than we can.
Wow! Q buena coreo! Me encantaron las caras de Baryshnikov. Un genio.
i love that he is chewing gum so perfect. :)
Baryshnikov best dance partner ever.
The lady made moves, no taught in dance classes, look extremely elegant.
So entertaining.
a no-look jump and catch at 2:13 ... breathtaking!
They make it look so easy! Amazing!!
Это непередаваемо великолепно
Absolutely OMG fing awesome.. Each of them...this is dance...interpret the music!

Russian Ballet Legend Mikhail Baryshnokov

Барышников - актерище!!!
wow!
LMAO That is so awesome!
Além de ir muito além padrão imposto pelas companhias de balé da época,ele era perfeccionista,fantástico,maravilhoso também no cinema,num único filme.Eterno mesmo.De Salvador/ Bahia/ Brasil.
OMG--this is hilarious. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a dance number in my life. Especially at 1:34! Ms. Kudo certainly is a sport. XD
Rossi Lamont Walter I agree, she was a beautiful dancer. I saw her through out her Ballet Theatre years she was exquisite.
MARAVILHOSO!!!!
Perfectly tense and relaxed when needed
I adore him...dancing....
Amazing! you can feel the male's domination and powerlessness of the female dancer. i'm really not a specialist or anything but I could feel everything. :) so powerful!
A little passive-aggressive, more on the aggressive side. Passivity is in the flailing amongst the duel of polar similarities.
Fabulous! 🌹😊🍸
ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО!!!
glorioso!
Taking off his Tie is even better💝
Perfection!
I saw this live in Buenos Airesm at Teatro Colón. There were 4 performances. I saw all 4 and could have done it for 4 more. ❤️
