I can’t get over this photo. It looks like this ethereal dancer was part of the painting, but cut out of the art and suspended forward to give it depth. An absolutely incredible perspective.
I can’t find the name of this ballet dancer, just that it was shot for something called Dance Open.

Spain, where were you hiding this guy? Goddamn!

Excuse me while I impress you all with my gigantic thighs and my ability to look damn good in white tights.
James Harrison of the National Ballet of Canada demonstrates his lower back work out
Second soloist James Harrison of The National Ballet of Canada shares his favourite moves for strengthening his lower back (and the muscles that help support it)
Thank you Mr. Harrison for showing off your glorious legs.
PS: If you let the video autoplay, the next video is another male ballet dancer – Keiichi Hirano of Japan – demonstrating his core exercise routine. Thank you Globe and Mail.
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.

Reblogging male ballet dancers because it’s 3 am and I can’t sleep. Love his slim ankles and long legs.
…and he never touches the ground.

One late night ballet reblog because…well look at him.
Famed ballet dancer Roberto Bolle photographed by Giampaolo Sgura
I’m partially convinced Roberto Bolle doesn’t actually exist. There is no way a man could look this beautiful, this fit, this handsome, this stunning, and do it in ballet slippers.
Jb Dubs is the musical project of Boston Ballet dancer James Whiteside. To unwind from his rigorous career, James enjoys creating fun upbeat music; he also choreographs and creates sexy music videos for his tracks. James is openly gay and is a very confident man.
This is the music video for “I Hate My Job”. Even if the song isn’t your cup of tea, you should watch it on mute just for the legs. Oh the legs! Three pairs of sculpted, sexy dancer legs in striking red heels with no pants in the way. Fierce as hell. By the way – check the recommended videos afterwards, there’s bloopers.
