Baryshnikov/Polunin in DQ. Click arrow below for expanded view.

A video idea inspired by your very kind comments... I don't think I've enjoyed the creative process more than during the researching and making of this video. What joy these two incredible artists bring to our lives, each fully capable of transcending their own time, and each, without a doubt, sure to leave a legacy that will allow them to long outlive their own mortality.

Sergei Polunin from 2014
Mikhail Baryshnikov from 1983
"Together" in Don Quixote 2022
What could be more glorious?

Thank you kindly for watching,
Pam Boehme Simon for Graceful Beast Ballet

You really can’t compare these two. Baryshnikov is in a class of his own. Brilliant!

[monyalawson]

I’ve not seen any dancer that compares with Baryshnikov. His combination of technical skill and passionate manifestation of the character is unchallenged.

[janetaldrich]

Misha, vouz êtes incroyable. Maintenant. Toujours.

[Az-kcjs]

I fell in love with Baryshnikov's work, haven't seen any one as amazing and perfect as him.

[Katrina-migm]

There is a mesmerising elegance about Misha. You have to remind yourself to breathe while watching him.

Полунин хорош слов нет, нооо Барышников просто гений танца.

[williamglover]

Nureyev and Baryshnikov are the modern legends, and rightly so, yet there are many excellent danseurs in the world today. Amazing talent.

[ОльгаШевченко-щы]

Це неперевершено! Фантастично!😲 Переглядаю знову і знову.

❤ Baryshnikov 100%

El que ha hecho el vídeo, también prefiere a Baryshnikov, queda claro!😂😂

[debraveenstra]

I worked with Baryshnikov and. Peter Martins 3 times in the late 70s. They were perfection.

[ЛюдмилаСевастополь-ыу]

Мне оба нравятся. Оба красавцы, техничные, космические!!! ❤👏👌🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐💐💐

[maryanneryan]

Baryshnikov had cleaner lines and clearer endings.

[lariosleandro]

No one like MISHA ! That is the pure truth.

[reginami]

Не знаю почему все абсолютно хвалят только Барышникова, но хвалы достойны оба как Полунин, так и Барышников.

[mariaemiliabarbosa]

1, 000 times BARISHNIKOV!!!! Any day of the week, twice on

[cristina-wc]

A fare le riprese per entrambi c'era lo stesso genio delle inquadrature

[misaeire]

No one does ballet, like the Russian s, the costumes, sets, music and of course the world class dancers, fan from Ireland

[gloriousg]

Of all the contemporaries, only Simkin can contest the elegant, mastery and grace of Baryshnikov

[olenar]

Полунин!!! Харизма, энергетика просто зашкаливает!!
