Presenting brothers Jiri and Otto.  Perfection.

Ballet will always be my first dance love. 1000 years old, and no technique left, I still love watching gifted dancers.

The Boston Globe has a feature on their online site called The Big Picture that I’ve been following for a while, as they share news stories in photographic format.  A 1000 words and all that…  Some of the captures are very beautiful and I particularly like the large sized images.  This is one of my favorites and it IS best seen large.

There are two Dance Galleries:

Dance Around the World I

Dance Around the World II

This Oscar-winning film is a visual and emotional thriller. It is an impressionistic record of a flamenco dance class given to senior students of the National Ballet School of Canada by two great teachers from Spain, Susana and Antonio Robledo. The film shows the beautiful young North American dancers–inspired by the flamenco rhythms and mesmerized by Susana’s extraordinary energy–joyously merging with an ancient gypsy culture.
