    It may be an optical illusion, but the kilt looks a little short on Nureyev, maybe it's because the (white) hose don't look long enough...

    But excellently danced nonetheless.

    I agree it is short but it is probably deliberate, being slightly longer may take away from the gracefulness and beauty of his dancing

    Sir, I bet you were thinking, like me when I heard the title, of LES Sylphides. Les Sylphides is a somewhat more famous ballet with music by Frédéric Chopin.

    Here is Mikhail Baryshnikov and Marianna Tcherkassky dancing the Waltz from Les Sylphides:

    La Sylphide...............with ..........Mathieu Ganio, Aurelie Dupont

    The lead dancer is ...............Mathieu Ganio
    Nueryev version although brilliant looks outdated a bit like " Brig a Doon ", compared to this
    Yes, I agree that Mathieu Ganio of the Paris Opera Ballet is superb, but now I call your Mathieu Ganio and raise you a very young Herman Cornejo of the American Ballet Theater dancing with his sister! This kid is Air Jordan!
