Eric Gauthier's Ballet 101 is fun. I've seen Xander Parish and Daniel Montero do it and here is a YouTube video of Armando Braswell of the Basel Ballet. I am longing to have a go myself if a woman can do it though I would have problems with position 25, 40 and "the beautiful Swan Lake 80". Anyway Mel has promised to show me how.

Last Sunday I saw the talented young Italian dancer Giovanni Princic perform this piece and he did a particularly good job (see Ballet Bubbles 16 July 2016). I was introduced to this excellent young man after the show and he was as charming off stage as he was impressive on it.  I congratulate him on his success to date and wish him well for the future.

    The music is "Sadness" by Chopin, an emotion which came to life in the performance of Bianka. In life, we experience everything-- happiness and sadness, trust and betrayal, success and downfall.
