Yes, this boy’s full name is Pitzintekutli Xochipilli Méndez Zenteno. Apparently he goes by Pitzintekutli Mendezi. I found a video of him doing an audition here and nailing it. Mexico is lucky to have this beautiful, talented creature representing them in the classical dance world.

people who say that baseball players have nice legs obviously haven’t seen male ballet dancers’ legs….

Rugby players win in the muscular upper-torso department, but you’re right about the legs on male ballet dancers. Finer specimens of male strength, agility, and grace you won’t find elsewhere. Each leg a fluid sculpture of muscle, tendon, cartilage, bone, and beauty.

So once again, I have to gush about my oldest friend in the world (the amazing Mr. Alexander Burton) and how amazing he is.  Still haven’t gotten used to the fact that he is actually being paid to dance with Ballet BC, and I will never get used to how stunning he is.  This guy has worked so freaking hard to get to where he is today.  He’s got a show coming up this weekend (March 8th 2012) …any peeps in Vancouver, y’all should check it out.  He’s a star, and I’m so so so glad that I have this guy in my life.  I’ve been so lucky to watch him grow as a dancer and as a person…and that I’ve had him in all but the first 3 days of my life is just amazing to me.

I haven’t done a ‘late nigh ballet reblog’ in a while. So here’s ten photos of of Alexander enraptured by the freedom dance has given him to express himself.
