Swan Lake with acrobats

All I will say is that the frogs at the beginning of this are not the coolest part of this Chinese production of Swan Lake, which pairs ballet and acrobats.

    Novel twist on things. Quite enjoyable. Shoulder-ballet… who knew that was even possible.

      No kidding, right? I can’t imagine having the control over my body that they have over theirs. When he walks with her… that’s just crazy.

    What remarkable balance and strength. Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake is still my favorite, but this one was quite innovative. :)

      I haven’t seen that one. Is it on video anywhere?

        Ok, I might be partial to this because of all the bare-chested men :)

        Anyway, it can be purchased on Amazon.com

    Your right, the frogs were not the coolest part of this performance, but they were pretty darn cool.
