Thanks for this, really interesting. Lifar looks almost casual, but LD is really beautiful! She proves that although she clearly has the extensions, it's not all about maximum extension every single time. The result is a beautiful, elegant style.
Amazingly talented and hard working dancers❤ he looks really casual, like doesn’t even try to impress, only do a “simple” “casual” moves 😮 that shows a real professionalism. And great charisma. A simple guy from Ukraine realised, that he was born to breath ballet instead of air. Unfortunately, russian empire and then bolshevik revolution made a looot of great people escape from Ukraine , russia, Belarus… that’s sad, but I’m glad, he could realise his ambitions in great Paris. When people ask why no one knows great Ukrainians, I’m showing them this story: great artists, writers, composers had not many opportunities: or to go to petersburg, and sometimes change their names from Jewish or Ukrainian into russian variant; or to be repressed because of too much patriotism (when they didn’t want to become rusdian and write about for example, stalin), of to be forgotten, because of a propaganda of “great” russian culture. Who knows that Malevich was Ukrainian with Polish ancestors? Or legendary fashion designer ValentiNa (her clients were the most famous people in US, like Greta Garbo. Mark Shagall was Belarusian Jew. Why everyone think , they were russian? (Serge was working with russian ballet Theater; but as well as with Parisian und Kyiv. Because of literally a couple of hundred years of imperialist propaganda.) It’s not a joke, they keep stealing now.
Hello, John! My name is Anna, I am a journalism major. This is my last year in uni and as my final bachelor’s project I am making a documentary about ballet in Russian province. Your videos have been a great source of inspiration and information for me and I was wondering if I can use some clips in my film? This is a passion project for me and it has no funding or anything of the sort. Looking forward to your reply! Thank you for sharing these gems with us
@@balletfanatical7319 thanks - i'll add her name to the post title. curiously i was just looking at film of her in 'Giselle' with Jimmy Urbain as Albrecht
Hi John, I'm fascinated by your videos. Thank you for posting. Do you have some good footage of Ninette de Valois and Frederick Ashton, particularly interviews, but also choreographing/performing from before 1960? Thank you
@@JohnRaymondHall Posiblemente, pero mira en la Ópera de París tuvo éxito y estuvo de director años... Además por lo que he leído, durante la segunda Guerra Mundial,recibió a Hitler con honores, y eso dice mucho de como era como persona. Incluso fue juzgado y expulsado de la Ópera, aunque con el tiempo le volvieron a contratar. Para mi, horrible.
@@JohnRaymondHall Nunca tenía que haber sido rehabilitado, incluso se jactó de que Hitler estaba enamorado de su cuerpo. Posiblemente, la Ópera de París hubiera estado mucho mejor bajo la dirección de Balanchine.

Thank you
yes, if you search de Valois and Ashton on my channel you'll find a number i=of interviews and film of coaching sessions :)
Who's the ballerina? They are great together.
BalletFanatical has just identified her as Liane Daydé
Lifar no me gusta nada, me parece un bailarin sin estilo alguno, sera por la edad, pero ella es muy elegante.
a mi tampoco me gusta - solo obtuvo protagonismo por su relacion con diaghilev

@@isabeldiezlangre9411 sí, fue extraordinario que fuera 'rehabilitado' después de su conexión con los nazis después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial

@@isabeldiezlangre9411 sí, escandaloso que se haya rehabilitado - ¡quiebra moral!
Once again, even in a very small glimpse, and 44 years old, Lifar proves to be a simply awful dancer.
