Description:
"Some of the most exquisite dancing ever to be seen anywhere…" –SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
This fascinating look at world of international ballet competitions features a young Mikhail Baryshnikov competing –and winning –in Moscow in 1969. The Moscow International Competition of Ballet Artists at the Bolshoi Theater attracts young dancers from around the world to compete for gold and silver medals, much like the Olympics. In this acclaimed film of the 1969 Competition, Baryshnikov performs an excerpt from La Bayadere and a solo from an original ballet by Leonid Jakobson entitled Vestris. Also featured in this historic documentary is a young Ludmila Semenyaka performing a scene from Act III of Giselle, as well as a modern jazz dance piece entitled We.
There is also a rare and remarkable film clips of the legendary Anna Pavlova in performance, the first such film ever to be seen on home video. Judges for the Competition were in a veritable "who’s who" of other Russian dance stars, including Galina Ulanova, Maya Plisetskaya and Yuri Grigorovich. Also on the jury were Soviet composer Aram Khachaturian and dancers Agnes DeMille and Alicia Alonso.
Highlights of the film include excerpts from Swan Lake, War and Peace, Spatacus and Le Corsaire. For a look at Baryshnikov at the beginning of his glorious career, and at the heartbreak and joy of young dancers trying to make their mark, this behind-the-scenes DVD keepsake has it all!

I was thrilled to discover this DVD, which provides very rare footages of Ludmila Semenyaka and Anna Pavlova. Ludmila's youthful exuberance is absolutely infectious. I especially love how she had her personal "nook" by the stage where she observed the competitors. Her demeanors reminded me of a kitten, graceful but a little goofy at the same time. I'm not even going to try describing Anna Pavlova's art, you just have to buy this DVD and see for yourself. :o)

This is a fascinating documentary of what the New York Times called an "exquisite blend of anxiety and esthetics", the first Moscow International Ballet Competition. We are privileged to see astoundingly talented young dancers, such as Hideo Fukagawa, the so-dubbed "Flying Japanese". He is a young man who seemed to be made from some kind of antigravity material, so light, elastic and graceful were his airborne leaps. Baryshnikov is phenomenal. You can see him dance Vestris, which he later performed ... Read More
