Interestingly, the video states: Written, choreographed and directed by Danielle Rowe and Garen Scribner Produced and edited by [Alexander] Reneff-Olson Productions Rowe, an Australian choreographer, is married to Luke Ingham of SFB, and Scribner and Reneff-Olson both are or have been associated with SFB. Rowe's short ballet "For Pixie" was a success at the SFB gala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pherank Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 For some looney fun with a vaguely balletic theme... Designer/Model Alexa Chung Learns A 'Ballet Beautiful' Workout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeA2B92XrBc Chung is always "wacky" and never takes herself, or anything else, seriously. "And how is that? Horrible. And where are you getting/feeling that? Everywhere. Great!" If you want more Alexa, here she is in Paris learning how to behave at a fashion show (as an audience member). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSuriUCf00c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) In greatly anticipating the day that we can close these ‘Covid 19’ topics, which remain very helpful and comforting, because they simply won’t be necessary any more, I’d like to start a new topic entitled, “Cheerful Video for the Day — Ballet and the Arts”. This is looking forward to a world that is as healthy and pleasant, both physically and socially, as possible. https://balletalert.invisionzone.com/topic/45642-cheerful-video-for-the-day-ballet-and-the-arts/ Edited June 14, 2020 by Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
