Wouldn’t it be neat to be able to “feel” what it’s like to dance a pas de deux? Unless you’re a professional ballet dancer, you may not get to experience that.
Well, now you can, through this amazing video!
What is the Dancers’ Perspective?
Principal Dancers Megan Fairchild and Andrew Veyette give us a view of the wedding pas de deux from “The Sleeping Beauty” from the dancers’ perspective.
Through cameras placed in strategic places on each dancer we’re able to “feel” what the dancers are feeling and seeing. Plus, Megan and Andrew share their tips of how they improve their performances.
Warning:
The following depicts the perspective of professional ballet dancers performing intense athletic movements. This experience may induce diziness, disorientation and/or complete artistic fulfillment. Viewer discretion is advised.
Get yourself a nice cup of tea (or whatever beverage you enjoy most) and get ready to enjoy this fun video:
