Top 5 Dances to Watch

So many of us dance enthusiasts watch an incredible amount of videos on YouTube. We have seen all the varieties out there...from the fun, clever, oddly unique or the always popular "oh my gosh they are incredible" videos. So we gathered some of our favorites just for you...ENJOY!

"Boogie Shoes"
We love this dance because its just plain fun and urges you to get up and dance; that is if you haven't already started. The dance starts near the 0:45 minute mark.



"Yanis Pikieris - Moscow Gold Medal"
Yes, this video definitely brings you back many years or actually decades. All we can say however is the dancing is purely magical! Don't miss the second half of the video which showcases Pikieris's stunning Don Quixote variation and coda - talk about endless attitude turns!

"Diana Vishneva in Firebird Pas de Deux"
This video caught our eye for several reasons. Number One - "Firebird" is a ballet not performed in Orlando very often or actually even a time we can remember.  Number Two: Vishneva is a true star of the ballet world; from her artistry to her impeccable technique she simply captures your attention for this six minute pas de deux!

 "Good Morning, Good Morning"
We picked this video because its a timeless classic and who knew you could stand on furniture in that time or that there are so many ways to use coats...watch the video to see what we are talking about! Don't miss the ballet "bar" at the 2:40 minute mark.

"Wedding Entrance"
We picked this video because it proves dance is for anyone and that you never know what can happen when the music begins...enjoy!


We hope you enjoyed these! Remember there is dance all around you - get involved in the movement or as we say at the Central Florida Ballet: "Move. Be Moved. Be More"! For information on dance classes and upcoming performances visit http://www.CentralFloridaBallet.com or call 407.849.9942.
