romeo and juliet
I love watching ballets. Maybe its because I can understand how difficult the seemingly effortless movements are. Or maybe its because the lines dancers create with their bodies are just so beautiful. I realised also, that as much as people love to see pointe work, I find that after some time, pointe work doesn't seem that interesting anymore. Instead, I love to watch male dancers. First of all, as any straight female, how can I not gawk at their almost perfect bodies? Male ballet dancers seriously have such awesome bods. You can see every little muscle through their tights. Some people tell me that its rather distracting/disgusting to watch them because of the package bulging in between. But really, there are way better stuff to admire. I mean the 'package' isn't that interesting because every male has that too, but not every guy has such a great body. i rather just stare at the latter, and drool or something. On a more serious note, i just like to watch male dancers more because they are the very epitome of strength and grace. They just somehow manage to make their movements look so strong, and yet fluid, graceful at the same time. Its so beautiful to watch. Granted that for females, a lot of strength is required too but its usually masked. when you watch a ballerina on pointe, they look so light and graceful that you forget how much effort it takes to do all that. Thats the point. They have to make it look effortless. The males don't.I just watched Stuttgart ballet perform Romeo and Juliet. Its like the best ballet i've watched in my entire life. The dancers were wonderful, the music was good, i like the props and the costume. The choreography was interesting. I can't think of anything bad about it. But oh well, maybe i am easily impressed. I've watched only one other Romeo and Juliet and that was by the royal russian ballet. i prefer stuttgart's.
Jason Reilly was awesome. I think i have a crush on him now. sighs
