His feet are an absolute marvel. His technique is sublime. I hardly have the words. The way his foot collapses to soft arch through the foot with his tendus is incredible. The speaking feet of David Hallberg. His autobiography depicts much bullying from his french counterparts. No wonder! He was superior!

Any school in the world would grab him after a few seconds of seeing this, and what a glittering international career he has gone on to achieve. He is technically superb, with such a stage presence that he unintentionally commands the whole ballet he is dancing. I have seen him with the Misses Osipova and Zacharova, but I was always watching Mr Hallberg...

The music is from the ballet "Etudes" choreographed by Harald Lander and can be bought on iTunes by searching "Riisager", clicking on the album titled "Riisager: Etudes, Qarrtsiluni & Erasmus Montanus Overture", and buying track 4 (Sillhouetter - Au Milieu) and track 6 (Port de Bras et Pas de Badin).

I am very pleased for him with his appointment as he obviously loves your country, but you are a long way from me in the U.K. 😕 I have seen him twice in London as he guested with the Royal Ballet for the 2019/20 season. Then I flew to Milan for a wonderful performance of Giselle at La Scala with Miss Zacharova. Some other dates were cancelled due to the awful pandemic, but I believe he will have a farewell gala in New York with ABT, which I hopefully will be able to attend. After that I am unaware of any other dancing commitments and I think he may then be all yours. 😊😊

I've only seen a few seconds of the video so I haven't seen all his talent yet but let me just say this before I watch the rest : he has the most amazing feet. And that's not quite common among male dancers. I like him.

@lovedeluxesd 5 жыл бұрын

I have to agree. He has wonderful feet. His extensions are very unique as well. I've not seen a male dancer this flexible. His developpe a la seconde and the arabesque penché are very unusual for a male dancer. Hallberg's flexibility is extraordinary. He always has great aplomb. And considering that he was just 16 at the audition he has already more to offer than most male dancers. He is making history and setting the bar very high for all male dancers.

I wasn't disputing you when you said that he needed to work on his masculinity. Perhaps a coach /did/ work with him on this, whether at the Bolshoi, or at ABT (where he was for ten years before). Personally, I disagree that he is too feminine in this video, and perhaps I'm wrong, but looking at him now, I don't think his presence has gotten so much more 'butch' than it is here. /Nureyev/ was said to be 'feminine'. There are many kinds of dancers- I think David is just the 'danseur noble' type.

But was all that music actually on the original video? I suspected that someone else may have put most of the music over the original, up until he started the bits of variations, where the sound quality changes considerably, and it seems he's actually dancing with that music. Before that, I wonder if there wasn't originally regular ballet class music, probably specially arranged, and played by a pianist. It's not uncommon to find videos on youtube, where people have overlaid music, that's not original to the video. ...Then again, having watched it again, I'm thinking I was wrong. Well, either way, he's marvelous here, and is more so now.

I actually danced with Rudi and my take on him is that he was wonderfully charismatic but lacked technique. I never found him feminine, though. My point, which might be the point of one who is too old to actually know what happens in companies anymore, is that insofar as male principals are concerned, most companies look for men who are quite male rather than boyish or effeminate.

@powerofalto 6 жыл бұрын

[Continued] His very-elegant (girlish, if you like), refined presence is a large part of his appeal. I don't think you could ever make him like, say, Vasiliev. I wasn't trying to dispute your opinion- it's just personal taste. The reason I did comment was because your comments seemed incongruous and funny to me- you said, 'he will have something really marketable'- a statement which, when you look at in the context of David being one of the Greats of our time, seems comically understated. :)
