best male ballet solo or pas de deux?

Question

Just wondering what everyone’s favorite male ballet solo or Pas de deux is? Who does it best? I love the grand Pas de deux from Don Quixote

Answer 1

The all time best danseur variation is from La "Bayadere" - check out the 13 barrel turns on several U-Tube strips. Just remember, Baryshnikov did the first 12 turns then did a reverse 540 to finish....still can't believe that a human being could do that......
My favorite danseur role is Albrecht in "Giselle". Surprisingly, the Cavalier role in the "Nutcracker" can also be a tremendous amount of fun...I mean after all Tchaikovsky.

Answer 2

Try something different, like a fast, funky beat, but a ballet dance, or something that keeps every one speechless, like anita did in so you thinkyou can dance. But if the music is already chosen then try putting in some of the following: Divertissement: a short semi part of a dance that sort of have a change of music. Port de Bras: A graceful set of arm movment often with eiver no or little leg work. Jetes: Leaps, like Grond jetes(split leaps) and tour Jetes
