Trockadero: masters of dance!
by Yaya on 2/5/24Balboa Theatre - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5With so few opportunities for men in ballet, other than lifting and spinning a ballerina (requiring size and strength to lift females) and leaping and jumping, this company provides men the chance to develop and showcase grace and en pointe work. The skills of these men are remarkable! Yes, there’s humor and many guffawing moments, but through it all, the tremendous ballet abilities shine through. Beautiful bourees across the stage; amazing amount of time en pointe, gorgeous leg positioning for arabesques; stamina and beautiful form in pique turns en pointe circling the stage. Incredible company of truly talented dancers! The male ballerinas in tutus, paired with another male in pas de deux portions, are every bit as graceful and skilled as their female counterparts in the standard ballet companies. All dance lovers should see this company!!
