Amazing Greig Matthews of Wiener Staatsballett a few weeks ago.
Splendid. The pointed toes make the whole picture.

Tag: male ballet dancers
It’s 2 am… here’s one ballet reblog before I go to bed. Nice example of hyper-flexibility here. His facial expression makes this photo though, “Yep, this is something I can do and you can’t.” Also check out the reflection of his belly and curve of his body in the TV screen. Mm.
You’re welcome. Late night ballet reblogs, over and out.
Magnificent.

This might look like a pretty normal shot to any passerby but take a look at the man’s left foot. In order to get your toes to touch the ground solidly like that requires a lot of specific foot stretching to create that arch. Try to obtain this pose, you won’t be able to do so. Once the body of a dancer, always the body of a dancer.
Look at this tyke. So focused, so driven. He’s probably the only black kid there and probably keeps this a secret from friends so he doesn’t get teased, yet he keeps coming to practice week after week. This might just be the beginning of a career for him. Dance on, little man!

No idea what’s going on here, but uuuugh I have a weak spot for men en pointe. The A framing of his long legs, the curve of his feet, the contraction of his muscles… c’est tout fantastique.
