Ballet Done Right

I had the oppertunity to witness the art of ballet at its finest! Ulyana Lopatkina and other dancers of the Kiev national ballet company paied tribute to Anna Pavlova And I am still in awe of how breath taking it was. They did Pas De duex from many of my favorite ballets like Esmerelda (Ulyana was sassy as a fire cracker) Copellea Fire Bird, la bayadere. and of course the Dying Swan as Pavlova was known for. I was never a huge fan of this variation... seeing it at countless Grand Prixs and other batter competitions no one ever hit it on the head... Until tonight seeing the amazing dancer just put that spark under my booty i needed! When ballet is done right it is one of the most magical experiences one can ever come across i am so grateful to have to opportunity to study this art and to see it in one of the most beautiful cities with some of the most beautiful dancers in the world!
