Review: The Ballerina Who Loves a B-Boy

Posted on 19 Aug 2007 by Callum I went to see The Ballerina Who Loves a B-Boy tonight. It was an awesome display of physicality. Some of the break dancing was utterly amazing. Guys swinging on their hands without their feet touching the ground, spinning on their heads, it was very, very impressive. The plot was a little ridiculous, but the focus was really the dancing. The ballerinas were good and there was some fantastic dancing from the other guys, but for me, the break dancers really stole the show. Backflips, hand stands, dancing on one hand, it was all in there. At one point, one of the dancers had two hands on the lighting pole and was holding himself up horizontally. Insane!
