swan lake by american ballet theatre (2005) - pas de trois
erica cornejo, herman cornejo, xiomara reyes
what really jumped out at me watching this now, besides the fact that you have three powerhouse dancers (and erica and herman are also siblings) who went on to be principals, is the musicality. especially of xiomara reyes (who appears third in this clip). it's like you can see the music by watching the flow of her arms, legs and even her head in turns. just gorgeous. it's stretching out the moment between beats, playing with the timing so you're still on the beat but maybe a tiny bit faster or slower in between. not sure how to describe it. what i always aspired to
also swan lake is probably my favorite work by tchaikovsky too so i actually will watch it solely because of the music lol. the end of this pas is on the list of my favorites. so exuberant! agh. puts a big old smile on my face
Dance Lessons in Ballroom Go Well for Other Styles
Do you have to be a dancer to train at a ballroom dance studio? No, but if you know a little about dancing, ballroom dance is about to become one of your favorite pastimes.

Beautiful pair of Tannoy Cheviots in superb condition. Sound wonderful with the Leben 300xs. Natural sound full of detail and warmth. The point where you stop obsessing about gear and just enjoy the music. Proper ‘grown up’ HIFI 😀, not that any of us are grown up of course 😂 Ahhh. We have lots of classic Tannoys and the best amps to pair them with, both vintage and new. Book a demo to hear what all the fuss is about. #tannoy #tannoyspeakers #tannoy1926 #tannoycheviot #cheviot #speaker #classicspeakers #british #made #wood #handmade #scotland #dualconcentric #monitor #proper #grownup #musicality #foottapping #listen #quality #form #audiogold (at Audio Gold) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiuMxRsH3f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
