So, here's my thought...

I’ve watched this 6 times

one of the deans in beijing dance academy rehearses with students

GREGORY HINES & MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV White Nights (1985) dir. Taylor Hackford

Masters of their craft.

My favorite thing about this sequence is that if you don’t know who Hines and Baryshnikov are, and I tell you one is a ballet dancer and one taps, you should be able to figure out who’s who based on their specific movements, even though the choreography is the same.

Can confirm. This is an Iban (Orang Asli) dance from Sarawak. The Dance is the Magunatip.

@cramzydays is another Malaysian voice that can point this out.

Tumblr won’t let me add this tiktok to another post about Jack & Jill dances but I’m full of spite and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen so have it anyway, the amazing impromptu Mamma Mia dance 💃🏼

Here is the link to the full dance on Youtube which I've watched several times just for Nicole's sheer joy in dancing.

Came back to watch this several times after sticking it in my queue. Still obessing over it. Loved it so much I had to go try to find it (I'm not on the clock ap)

I actually found the full extended version on youtube uploaded by the choreographer who is also one of the dancers.

Lion dancers rehearsing out of costume

The Australian Ballet is doing Alice in Wonderland again and on one hand I’ve seen it before, and on the other, their Queen of Hearts has my favourite costume in anything every

It’s just this and her court pushes her around the stage on wheels and every act it gets taller until she towers over everyone

Also in act 3 (I think) it swings open at the front and her husband is sitting inside reading a newspaper

I saw this again on Tuesday so here are some things I’d forgotten about:

more. (btw this is a parody/reference to the very famous “rose adagio” from sleeping beauty)

the Caterpillar is pretty neat too

(all of these videos are from the Royal Ballet’s productions in 2014 and 2017)

Finally an adaptation that makes feel like I’m going to have stroke, it’s perfect

This is the national dance of the Philippines, called Tinikling
