    Look at these two gorgeous men. Each with their own wonderful, unique styles, and you don't know where to look. Gregory Hines left this world too early. And Misha...a wonder. Years ago, I was having dinner with a friend in an outside cafe in Manhattan, and he walked by. I literally dropped my fork and let out a yelp. And New Yorkers are supposed to be cool about this stuff. He was, and is beautiful.

    I love Gregory Hines - I mean, it's not easy to hold one's own when dancing next to Baryshnikov! But he does. And Baryshnikov himself is fantastic as ever. He makes it look so easy, yet his grace and the absolute control he has over any tiniest movement of his body is astounding, to say the least. Love those two dancing together - thanks for posting!

    I always thought the pairing of these two was genius........two totally different styles side by side doing the same steps. One hangin' loose and lanky tapping and swinging around, and one gracefully turning and going up on his toes.

  • @AkiraChan24
    @AkiraChan24 15 лет назад +5

    I love how both of these dancers bring something completely different to the exact same dance. Mikhail does jumps and leaps so easily, and Gregory sort of pounces like a cat. I think both are entertaining to watch. I adore both of them, and I'm sure I"ll never get tired of this movie! Please keep this on.

    Rest in peace Gregory...you were an excellent dancer! Baryshnikov...you were absolutely stunning in movement and attractiveness!!! What talent you have! Thank you for coming to America!

  • @sookievendetta21
    @sookievendetta21 14 лет назад +6

    OMG What amazing talent both men have! I can't get over watching them effortlessly moving! I love Misha in every movie that I have seen him in. I just wish that he would make another movie. Like something where he is directing a company and see once again why he is the greatest ballet dancer in the world!!!!

    Two Masters of their craft combining different types of dance and elevating the performance of both.
    Probably my favorite “dance” in just about any movie.
    I rewatch the movie especially for this scene.

  • @dancingkitty11
    @dancingkitty11 11 лет назад +11

    I love how you can see the subtle differences in technique when they are side to side. Both are incredible dancers.

  • @TheSubwaysurfer

    To see the two of them side by side masters of their own body and movement...it's awesome. Such precision and grace.

  • @ladywithabrain12
    @ladywithabrain12 14 лет назад +1

    They mimic each other so well, you would think they have been dancing together for years. The best dance scene I have ever seen, and its with two guys, that's just madness!

  • @MrsAngelaGrogan1
    @MrsAngelaGrogan1 14 лет назад +2

    I absolutely adore this part of the movie. I have it on dvd, and when ever I play it I instantly watch this part first and then watch the whole movie. I just kinda zone out while I watch the two of them dancing. My husband has to touch me when he needs to tell me something because he says I don't even hear him talking to me when this part comes on.

  • @allthatlightning
    @allthatlightning 14 лет назад +1

    I loved this movie when it came out. I wish I could have seen Baryshnikov dance live. It's unfortunate for Gregory Hines though, as every time I watch this scene I try to watch him and his style but I can NOT take my eyes off of Mikhail. What grace and technique. Love it!

  • @1938olga
    @1938olga 13 лет назад +2

    To of the best dancers in the world. So entirely different, that what makes this one of the best dance scenes produced. I have watched it over 100 times and still love it. Hines at his best when not tap dancing, and Mikhail who can do modern dance like no one else. Better then Fred Astaire. GREAT!!!

  • @mmgringoire2
    @mmgringoire2 16 лет назад +1

    Amazing duet. - I love that dancers of this quality from different styles can perform together so beautifully. I miss Gregory Hines (RIP), and I wish Misha was still dancing publicly.

  • @TheSubwaysurfer
    @TheSubwaysurfer 14 лет назад +1

    Wow. Havent seen this in CENTURIES! LOL! Seeing two MASTERS of their dance art form moving together in harmony, it doesnt get any better. This clip still packs the visual impact it did back in the 80's.

  • @Drakethatsme

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this video. It is the most amazing dance sequence and the most remembered one of my lifetime. May Gregory rest in peace. We miss him very much. Mikhail God bless you!

  • @StElmoQn
    @StElmoQn 16 лет назад +1

    Just goes to show that when something is of such a high quality or caliber, it holds up over the years. Love watching both of them -- you can easily see how MB has the classical ballet training by his posture, and the relaxed easygoing style of GH.
    Makes me want to see this movie again!

  • @sharptimes5
    @sharptimes5 13 лет назад

    I could watch this over and over, and never tire of it. Seeing Baryshnikov's feet beside Gregory Hines' feet really lets a non-dancer see just how different their styles are. Amazing.

  • @tismurdis

    Misha is such an amazing dancer! He has perfect line and technique, this ease and grace and confidence in all steps! If only more dancers were like him..

    @pianojano 14 лет назад +2

    I LOVE THIS!!! I have an old copy of it that I taped off of HBO many years ago, and sometimes I get it out to watch it. Thank you for putting one of my all-time favorite dance scene! I got to meet Mikhail once, and saw him perform twice..........there has never been anyone like him, and probably will never be another! What a gorgeous man! I always loved Gregory Hines and his tap dancing too, and am sad that he is no longer with us.

  • @jarileigh
    @jarileigh 16 лет назад +1

    I'm a dance choreographer, I couldn't have said it better! BETCSU. I love that they are doing their own style of dance, MB is difficult to dance with because of his training and massive talent! People don't realize that MB is actually a much better athlete than any highly paid American athlete (NBA, NFL), which annoys me. He could easily do what they do, but very few, if ANY could do what he does!!!! Also, he trains harder and longer than any of them!

  • @spaudrey
    @spaudrey 15 лет назад

    In this type of dance, there aren't many in history that hold a candle to Baryshnikov, but Hines' tap background adds so much flavor to this dance that he is almost more mesmerizing to watch. Mikhail is so ridiculously perfect he makes it look effortless, but HInes shows you the work that goes into it. Both virtuosos, and yes, I miss Gregory as well.

  • @jmcquown
    @jmcquown 15 лет назад +1

    The dance is wonderfully choreographed, combining both ballet and tap. Baryshnikov was schooled in both methods of dance; I don't believe Hines was. Yet Hines performed those leaps and moves just as well. Wonderful video. Great movie for forgotten times, too... when people had to "defect" to get out of the former Soviet Union.

    • @flicker162
      @flicker162 8 месяцев назад

      Artists long for freedom to try new things, but Baryshnikov, stifled in Russia had the courage to defect so he could do so. He was brilliant in modern dance, found Martha Graham very hard to do and went beyond her to dance on Broadway and become an innovator with Mark Morris in modern dance. What a gift to the world! Alas, visits from the Bolshoi and Kirov Companies came to an end. I wonder if there are still great dancers in Russia. In Russia, art has no support. Art is only for the glory of the state. So sad, from Nijinsjky, Pavlova, Nureyev to now. How much we owe the defectors!

  • @smcfall3
    @smcfall3 9 лет назад +11

    I noted that Gregory Hines used his arms and hands in a more natural way. Baryshnikov's style was much more subdued and ballet-like with his hands and arm movements. What a joy to watch. I watched it twice so I could concentrate on them one at a time.

  • @GettnBooted
    @GettnBooted 14 лет назад

    I cried when Gregory Hines died and I had not even seen him in all that much stuff, I just knew the world had really lost someone special...ive become a big fan of mr. vincent d'onofrio and Greg was excellent with him in two movies...in good luck he played a cripple and that's when i really saw that his acting went beyond just all of his dancing talent...I really miss him and his work....GB

  • @TobiasErrante
    @TobiasErrante 6 лет назад

    A perfect and harmonious fusion between the styles of Tap and Ballet in a very masculine choreography in their concepts. One of the best choreographies ever filmed in the movies featuring such masters as the famous Gregory Hines, artistic heir of Sammy Davis Jr., along with Mihail Varishnikov, who introduced ballet to the strengthening of the male figure in choreography. In short EXCELLENT BY EVERY SIDE
