    "Amazing" hardly does him justice! Astounding - astonishing - incredible . . . each an apt choice to describe M. Alu! I was awed by his second performance from "Manon," the one in black - a perfect marriage of dancing skills and acting skills - my introduction to this ballet. Ab-so-lute-ly incredible! Bravo! Thank you for posting this!

      This performance from "Manon" reminds me Ekaterina Maximova playing Eliza Doolittle in the ballet "Galatea," which is based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. In the ballet version Eliza is taken in by a ballet instructor who endeavors to teach her how to dance properly.
      Ekaterina Maximova had perfect dancing skills but managed to show naughty and clumsy legs in "Eliza's First Ballet Lesson" )
      Look for:

      @Catherine COZZANDO I didn't know that. He is very original, though surely that is good thing. I thought only the Mariinsky did that (with, say, Shakirova or Maria Bulanova). But being classical and conservative only gives you promotions, has nothing to do with the talent, Plisetskaya w was very original, nearly all great dancers are.

    He's not as slender as most of the French guys and I LOVE that about him! Dancers like Alu remind us that what is most important is the quality of movement, NOT the thinness of the body.
    Too many people celebrate the instrument instead of the music that comes out of it! I also love his shaved head! It's distracting to try to hide a balding pate.
    I find him to be a beautiful, dynamic dancer with great sex appeal. I suspect he knows it too! ;-)
