Ya.. Kimin..and Antonio for Me were the Best of the Best... No one touched Antonio's precise pirouettes...like that guy has a drill attached to his spine!!.. and KIMIN...Wow!!.. Big results from a lil guy!!.. He was FLYING all over that stage...with such Grace and Elegance and yet..Strength and Power!!.. The definition of Dance... ✌️❤️😎👍👍🪽🪽
VADIM is a great artist and a great joy to watch, such beauty of line, such grace, such elegance and fabulous technique, he makes it look effortless, no showing off, he expresses the character he is dancing 🎉
Thank u whole-heartedly for this list and the insight that it offers into the craftsmanship of these talented and hardworking ballet dancers. To embody such lightness takes a lot of work. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of seeing Antonio as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. He is wonderful ❤ Merry and blessed Christmas
A great video of some exceptional dancers. Interesting that so many of them were young dancers in competitions - they show great promise for the future of ballet. Thanks for posting.
Vadim Muntagirov! Yes, I love him too, especially when he's with Nela. Thank you for introducing me to some dancers I didn't know. I was not familiar with Kimin Kim (embarrassed), but his piece gave me goosebumps. Subscribed!
Thank you for the video! You spotlighted several young male dancers. I would consider Ivan Vasilev to still be in this generation of dancers. Covid and the Ukraine war have brought complications to his career. I saw him dance live in “Flames of Paris” nobody can touch his interpretation of the piece. The second dancer had some unusual choreography in the Le Corsair. I did enjoy the last dance from Don Quixote
As a lifelong fan of the dance, I really enjoyed this! In fact I may be sending you a doctor bill for fixing my dislocated jaw 😉 The biggest thing I miss since leaving the NYC area is the lack of ballet, and while I grew up on Baryshnikov, Nureyev and those greats it never stopped me from appreciating newer talent. This collection gave me great joy! Thank you from an aging ballet fan!
th-cam.com/video/8e54cNmEWwo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UHJuRbtEaZQ6JdUg I'm sure you'll need jaw surgery after viewing this piece by a dancer Not many have had the opportunity to see live such as I have. Desmond Richardson. He is one half of the Contemporary Dance Company called COMPLEXIONS Contemporary Ballet, which, as you can see from its name, probably was no received well in middle America. But if you would, you can find many a thrilling pieces he and his partner Dwight Oden have choreographed together.
What a lovely comment! It’s so refreshing to find a positive attitude amongst people who identify themselves as older fans. There is an unfortunate tendency to say/write sadly or smugly “Things were better in my day. We will never see anything like it again ever.“ I’ve even seen this among 20 year old K-pop fans bemoaning that the music they loved in middle school is so much better than what’s being produced now. 😂 Best wishes! 🙏🧡🎶🩰💐
From a non dancer, it’s amazing how beautiful these dancers are. It would be easier for me to judge if they all danced the same dance. Some of the choreography is less able to show of the dancers abilities. They are all breathtaking.
Hey thank you for your comment. I understand your opinion but I didn't want to judge the dancers but only to show my personal favourite ones so people can enjoy it.
Paul Marque is a superb dancer. I'm not sure that the Paris orchestra tempo was quite "Ashtonian". Take a look at Steven McRae performing the same variation at the Royal Ballet. It should be a little faster and that would prevent the small rebound at the end when Marque drops down onto two hands.
Oh! Absolutely beautiful video! I like them all. But of course, I like some more than others. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to make this video. Please keep making more when you can. I'm subscribing. Thank you from Florida, USA.
what is wrong with you people? He picked dancers that he likes. What is all this where is this person, where is that person. These are his choices. Be respectful.
They all have technical expertise but they lack the charisma of Baryshnikov. He more than danced, he acted. He connected with the other dancers on stage and the audience.
Shale Wagman is a smouldering dynamo, not lacking charisma. All these these young genius dancers have potential. Baryshnikov is a 20th century legend, give them time.
My favorite of this batch is Daniil Simkin. I saw him live in NY two years ago doing Don Quixote and he was a lot more precise than Mr. Kim, who I thought looked a little sloppy here (although I would love to see him live too).
Dancer #9(Cesar) and #6 (Vadim) #3(Daniil) did all or the majority of their air and floor rotations CCW, which is the way that most figure skaters rotate. Skaters are given a choice by what is natural i.e., most people who are right handed would rotate CCW and most people who are left handed feel a natural rotation in the CW direction. I've heard that dancers are taught to rotate in both directions. When a routine is choreographed with all or the majority of rotations in the CCW rotational direction as it was for dancer 9, 6 and 3, is that a choice given to the dancer or just the prerogative of every dancer? I love ballet; haven't seen a ton, but of the ballet work I have seen, it seems most dancers turn primarily in the direction of what we call in skating "a lefty" direction. If I had been made to spin primarily CW, a very un-natural direction for me, I would not have been able to do triples, and I doubt - for the great quad jumpers of today - they would be doing quads without being allowed to jump in their natural direction. I've always been curious about this? 🧐 WOW on #1 Kimin Kim...just WOW - definitely deserving 1st!!!!!
dancers learn and train to both sides as equally as possible to maintain a muscular balance over the years, but in variations principals do most the side they are better. For dancers CW is to the right- it is the left standing leg but the turn is to the right side, when the turn is en dehors (to the side of the leg that is in passé)
Thank you Carolina - makes sense. Glad principal dancers can choose to rotate in the direction or in the "side they are better". 👏@@carolinafranciscosorg780
I do know Simpkin is a natural Left hander. Don’t know about any of the others. You can do triples?! Wow. I adore ballet and really like skating and sit in awe of your skills. If someone calls my name as Im walking across the kitchen and I turn my head, Im likely to face plant. 😂
Hi Mary, ha ha 🤣"face plant" love it, but I'm sure you are gifted in other wonderful ways!! I trained and competed back in the Brian Boitano day and competed with him in my final event - had to retire just after reaching the Sr. level due to a back injury, but I did get to compete with the great Brian once :)! Yes I did triples, but what skaters are doing now especially the current World Champ Ilia Malinin is something that we thought was humanly impossible and even today - even though he did it, we are in awe of his super human abilities - hope you got to see his performance - if not u can find it on YT. Anyway, best to you! 🙋🏻♂@@marynoonan6111
Все понравились, шикарные прыжки. Но для меня так и остаётся на первом месте- Александр Годунов, не видела больше такой стати, телосложения и шикарных прыжков. Но, наверное, такие танцоры рождаются раз в 100 лет)
Simpkin is the best of the lot. Ivan Vasilev rules the flames of Paris.Polunin chooses to be out of the main street. Too bad they are not touring. I was lucky to see Ivan twice before Covid. Overall, very good dancers, but not the best of the best.
В некоторых странах нет культуры балета. Ведут себя как на рок-концерте. Но самое печальное, что и у нас все чаще замечаю подобное бескультурие в театрах!
What period does ‘our times’ cover? Because ‘ my time’ covers from WWII to present! In that case you could not ignore Mikael Baryshnikov! Kimin Kim would also be included but so would a number of others (Nureyev?) who were not mentioned. All of whom were better than the 2nd to 10th!

Thanks for the extra dancing by him! 👏👏
Interesting how many have picked up that trick of multiple en dehors attitude derriere turns ending in a perfectly still, perfectly square first arabesque (facing wall 6). Would you mind listing who everyone's home company is? And do you have any footage of Osel dancing Spartacus? Grea selection!
Sorry I don't have any footage of Osiel in Spartacus I just used a picture from Spartacus for the video. I think I'll put in the description the companies of all of them.
For me, Vadim has it all: beautiful lines, incredible artistry, grace and elegance. His technique is so clean, he makes everything look effortless.
Mintagirov is very impressive unbelievable balance and precision😮
I agree Kimin Kim has the technical high level but something else charismatic and iconic🌺🌹🙏🌸

My favorites are the male dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet. Above all, Hugo Marchand. Beauty, grace and skills
10 men with a very personal relationship with their center of gravity - beautiful.
Kimmin Kim is definitely the bonus Thankyou,
A great selection of exceptional talent.
Of course everyone has their own choices but yours are great.
Thanks for the video.
The male body is perfection and these dancers are magnificent!
