Paul Parish Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 it's insanely intricate, Balanchine-y, fabulous performances. Does anyone know what hte occasion was. The video's grainy, but the dancing is sweeping and at times insanely accurate. I recognize Collier at times and I think Durante, who's steely and sharp as any Balanchine dancer. But who else is who?

Jane Simpson Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My voices tell me it's by Ashley Page - specially choreographed for the finale of a Tchaikowsky Gala at Covent Garden sometime in the mid-1990s - but I can't check just now. Link to comment
Alymer Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 To the best of my memory the choreographer was Ashley Page and it was made for a joint opera/ballet gala in 1993. I can't remember who the other dancers were - possibly Bussell. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Paul, in the order in which they get individual spots, the couples are - I think - Bussell/Zoltan Solymosi, Leanne Benjamin/Kumakawa, Collier/Mukhamedov, Durante/Bruce Sansom. Corrections welcomed! Link to comment
