This thread enticed me to spend two hours today watching YouTube vids of Baryshnikov
The fluidity and pSsion and abandon and precision with which he danced everything (not just ballet) will never cease to leave me gobsmacked and proud to be human.
I was on my phone for the former, typo riddled post (sorry)
Here are a couple of non-ballet Baryshnikov snippets that make my heart sing.
This isn't great film quality, but
White Nights is made for me forever because of the dancing. The music in this clip is wonderful, too.
A little cheesy, but watch how he MOVES. Seeing someone doing something beautifully makes me happy
Okay, back to work before I get lost on YouTube again--lol
