This ballet is pure entertainment. I bet even the dancers enjoy it.

[etniessi]

I love the jazziness and rhythm! Also very musical dancers.

[Yana-xwib]

The choreography was amazing, and the lads dancing are 👌👌👌 What a very entertaining 2 minutes!! If only I could see the whole ballet, ah what a shame.

[clairebeaumont]

I love how the other dancers are just casually lounging on the side.

[AndreyVas]

Very entertaining! Would love to see the whole show!

I don't know how I feel about their costumes, but the dancing is fantastic! And props to the pianist!

WHERE'S THE REST OF IT? (Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know this is only one selection, but I want the whole ballet! I mean, it's not like I live in the UK and can just beetle down to the Royal Opera House for a couple of hours any time I want.)

[Mp-eywl]

The guy with the hat looks suspiciously like Harry Potter 😂

[MisterJeffy]

I don't recall ever seeing choreography, and the dancers executing it, as detached from the music as they are in this performance.

It’s incredible what they can do with their bodies, but I have to admit that I’m still a classical ballet fan....
