Thank you Kent ! I love how you describe details I otherwise wouldn't have noticed (not being a dancer myself). Like in this video pointing out Baryshnikov's headposition during the jump in Nutcracker. It can easily be overlooked but in slowmotion it shows indeed how this subtle gesture makes the whole variation more graceful (as you said so nice: 'in princely grace' )
Once again Kent you have enhanced my appreciation and viewing pleasure by breaking down a key step and illustrating it with clips of several great dancers executing the step with grace and superb technique. I'm grateful for your contributions to this ballet lover's education and appreciation of the science and art of the dance. Thank you so much!
Well, you've assembled (pun intended) videos of many of my favorite danseurs! I was amazed at Corneja going back and forth (twice) and swear he comes close to the entire 2 revolutions in 2 of them. Also found Polunin jaw-dropping in Don Q as he followed up not with a plain double tour but one with one leg in retiree. Thanks for this compilation and for putting in the sites where we could watch the full ballet or variation. You always reset the bar for my own knowledge of ballet.
Vladimir Shklyarov is an amazing danser and his series of double assembles in La Bayadere are thrilling. He and his wife, Maria Shrinkina, are my all time favorite Romeo and Juliet. Thank you for this video and for your always excellent content.
Another captivating video with amazingly technical and detailed narration. I’m always impressed. Kent never fails to deliver awesome content for ballet enthusiasts. Merry Christmas, Kent! #I❤🩰
I wish I had the proper insights to tell which dancer performs the best assemblées. Best artistic, athletic, elegant or acrobatic assemblées? I don't know as I am not there yet, but thanks to each of your videos one of these days I will. Always great videos although the narration is a bit too fast at times. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays.
The middle part of the Baryshnikov Nutcracker prince solo starting at 3:57 is similar to the middle part of the original 1892 Nutcracker Prince Coqueluche variation starting at 7:36! th-cam.com/video/vFEwk_ar_b8/w-d-xo.html

Baryshnikov makes everything look effortless😊
Kent, I ADORE your videos. This was lovely.

Fascinating. You make learning the terms entertaining and clear and Sensational examples
The key is definitely keeping the first leg up and bringing the second leg to the first leg. These were all great examples of the step!

hi. Is it possible for u to analyse Yuri Soloviev's dancing skills?
Thanks for the suggestion. Several have suggested him. Will put it on my list. Thanks!
The double assemble is a lovely step but my cryptonite
Never my strength either. Tough step
I notice that most dancers collect their supporting leg to the front of the working leg, other dancers to the back, which is better?
