    • ​ @fyeelessarndra3392 Tchai thought it was "bad ballet", that the story would "fool" people into thinking it was good where he believed it to be "fake" and "boring", and firmly opined that it was less complex than it pretended to be. Also, his sister died during the composition and he hated it on a very deep personal level after that; understandably so.

Спасибо костюмерам -> необычное сочетание больших ярких костюмов "цветочков" выгодно подчеркивают лёгкость нежного "мотылька"! Девочка - солистка необычайно легонькая и шустрая - такой замечательный образ или "мотылек порхает" , или "маленький цветочный эльф резвится"! ОЧАРОВАТЕЛЬНО! Остальные девочки - просто чудо, чувствуется колоссальный труд! Парадокс -> чем тяжелее балерина трудится, тем легче "порхает" на сцене...)))))

    • It’s really only noticeable to dancers. I love it! Balanchine dancers move faster, they hold their hands differently, what some call a claw, and he emphasized the lines your body makes and what audiences see. For instance if I’m posed with my right foot forward my neck should be turned slightly so that my left cheek is front and center to the audience. I guess a easier explanation in 1 word is Extra! Everything is emphasized. I think it beautiful.
