Tuesday seems an especially rich day for ballet on streaming video.

 

If you want to see a classical ballet at is finest, and great fun, New York City Ballet just posted "Donizetti Variations" with choreography by Balanchine. Principal dancers are Ashley Bouder and Andrew Veyette, two of the best in the world. It's beautiful and delightful. 30 min.

 

Then if you want to see modern dance at its best, try "Bound to . . ." by Christopher Wheeldon at the San Francisco Ballet. Chris uses much of the classical vocabulary, but adds other elements (including iphones). He particularly gives men an equal share of the attention and dancing, along with the women. The section for the four men is marvelous. Note especially the pas de deux with Ms Yuan Yuan Tan and her partner. The final solo for Mr. Lonnie Weeks is one of the best contemporary solos ever done for a man. 35 min.
