Thanks for this, and also thanks to the videographer for keeping both dancers' full bodies on the screen at all times.

This gorgeous BRADY FARRAR tour de force creation is astonishing. The classic steps and Chopin have a profound impact.
The couple here is everything right in what is going on at ABT, and it is clear to me that the ballerina here will be very, very, very, soon, putting on the Odette/Odile costumes right next to the Danseur here.
This is a very rare treat to see such a beautiful choreography.
BRAVO 👏!!!
The filming is perfect 👌.
Cheers.

Holy cow!! The way they one is an extension of the other, the grace, fluidity, with the ballerina just melting and floating around and them both soaring with grace and strength. An incredible piece of art!!

Breathtakingly beautiful - the setting, the costumes, the lighting, the videographer, the music, the dancers, the pianist, the choreography - it all comes together! Such incredible execution. It all just flows. This is a great example as to why ballet is perhaps my favorite of any performing art.

[sandyneino]

No props, just the dancing against a white and black backdrop..no where to hide, but then again they dont have to...pure grace

[irenfolie]

Very good technique, beautiful lines, clean movements - it's an example of a good dancing.

[rgfan]

Gorgeous! Brady and these dancers are future ABT stars. Kyra is even more Balanchine-esque looking than the NYCB dancers

[pauljohnwelsh]

Sublime!! Vienna, the moon with silver clouds travel across the sky, light snow begins to fall, Love dances in its grace

[ejyi]

I became a big fan of Kyra after watching Concerto Pas de deux by Kenneth Macmillan! And this video made me love her dance, again. Her sophisticated, elegant, and beautiful movements are so different, along with the expression of emotions. Please upload lots more of her work!
