Ballet is the beautiful art, but you've got to be a beast to do it well. Among the greatest of these graceful beasts are Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Svetlana Zakharova, Natalia Osipova, Sylvie Guillem, and Sergei Polunin.
Ballet was my life for 50 years, performing and teaching. I had no plans to retire anytime soon, but in June 2016, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a neurological, degenerative movement disease. I didn't dance for very much longer. My arms & legs no longer listen to me, once supple muscles are tight and stiff, I can't balance or turn... it's as if my internal gyroscope is broken. I’ve tied my last pair of pointe shoe ribbons. However, my creative soul was not ready to leave ballet behind so here I am. "Dancing" with pixels now, I can continue to spread my love of ballet, and strive to help keep the legends of the art alive. Thank you for visiting and for reading.

Sergei Polunin CAUGHT
They called him prodigy. Born with a full blown ballet arsenal, he was perfection. Physique, power, elevation, grace... and the countenance of a prince. Nicknamed "Graceful Beast" by his classmates, he prowled the stage. You could not take your eyes off of him. In his youth, he resisted being tamed at times, but when he danced, he was nothing short of breathtaking. And, when caught in a single moment, frozen in time, Sergei Polunin is magnificent.

А зачем замедление кадров и другая музыка? Это же совсем не похоже на оригинал.
Полунин намного моложе Барышникова.Талантливы оба.Барышников легенда!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!
I just plain love them together! 🩷
It’s the way their bodies fit together like pieces of a puzzle. ❤
Неповторимый дует … шикарное исполнение! 😘🌹
Оба ❤ А лучше всех Годунов!!!
Миксер
Beautiful video of Mikhail ❤ Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so very kindly Katherine. I am happy to know you enjoyed it. It was fun to put together.
Барышников лучше!!!!!!! он органичен, а другой как на ходулях. Барышников быстрее!
No one like MISHA ! That is the pure truth.
It’s interesting to compare the tempo of the music for the two dancers.
Ένας.ιπταμενος κύκνος.Λατρεμενος
Baryshnikov is the grace and essence of dance. Technique and soul. Light as a feather. Polunin has a lot of technique. He's good, but he doesn't have Baryshnikov's level.
❤❤❤
Polunin werkt af.
.Такая нежная и хрупкая и гордая как лебедь.. Mузыка гармонирует и вдохновляет душy ... Шедевр....♥️♥️♥️
I am endlessly grateful for your work on these videos, Pam, so that we will always have a way to look back on this perfection, which I fear will never be the same again. For me, at least, the thrill is partially gone from his later work. I appreciate the need to follow one’s muse; however, I am still sad when I don’t have the same emotional reaction his earlier work evoked. 🙁
Sadly I must say I feel the same. 🖤🖤🖤
A wider screen . Would be so much better
❤❤❤
Я её люблю и уважаю как лучшую балерину нашего 78-80 года)
Los dos son muy buenos pero Polulin tiene mas rigidez en los movimientos. Barishnikov es más suave, más dúctil.
Barishnikov Tiene una armonia espectacular entre su cuerpo y sus movimientos.
It waas almost cuel to put them side by side, Polunin pales in comparison.
Барышников👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥только он❤
If they had masks on, I bet you couldn't tell who was who. Beautiful, just beautiful watching them both do this performance ❤❤
Thank you for posting this. It's easy to see why he's one of the greatest dancers of all time . . . absolutely phenomenal . . . .
Aside from the quality of the dancing (where Mikhail is simply incomparable) Baryshnikov also interprets the character - I don't get that from Polunin.
Fabulosa! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This so called dance common perform in circus, contains non of ballet skill except Zakharova worn ballet shoes.
Waaauuuuu! Na minha proxima vida eu serei uma grande bailarina.
Baryshnikov danced (as if -) for himself, Polunin - openly, to please the audience.
Техника конечно на высочайшем уровне, но вот души маловато. Лично для меня идеал это Надежда Павлова, вот где и техника и Душа. А Гиллем мне больше напоминает Гимнастку на Произвольной программе.
I’ve never seen a dancer quite like her she is extraordinary
Это Нуриев!!!!Он - Бог!!!
Красиво....браво 👏👏👍💯🌟
Could you tell us something else about this ballet, please? Who is the composer of that touching music? Who is the coreographer, who is/are the creator of the scenery, etc? And thank you for sharing this amazing video!
Трудись. Трудись на. Радость. Миру
Mom saw him in practice in 68, probably around this time.
He floats!
He becomes a blur, spinning so fast. The best ballet dancer of all time.
Polunin unfortunately tosses his nose up and his face away from the audience too much. If you look closely at Mikhail he never does that.
Sublime espectáculo !!! Perfecta Masha ! Y el conjunto completo ....un placer verlos !!!❤❤❤❤❤
Нельзя никого сравнивать с Барышниковым!
Sawyer Grimaldi is heading there (iykyk)
Лично для меня Барышников просто предатель.. А про предателя Родины вообще нечего говорить..
А танцует гениально, и конечно Годунов. Всё таки в то время, когда нельзя было выезжать, чтобы просто работать где нравится, это не предательство. Когда решал не сам, а чиновник, танцевать или нет.
How many people just tested their own arms to see if they could do that? (I know it's not the point of this video, or even the most important part of her dancing. Just curious.)
**raises hand** lol
