Day 35 of 84 Days of 84 Ribbons: Ballet Movies
Since 1948 ballet-themed movies and movies with a significant numbers of dances in them have become a small sub-genre of movies. Here are a few of note:
1. Red Shoes (1948)
2. American in Paris (1951)
3. West Side Story (1961)
4. Turing Point ( 1977)
5. Nijinsky (1980)
6. The Company ( 2003)
7. Mao’s Last Dancer (2009)
8. Black Swan (2010)
Which, if any of these movies, left positive and lasting images that shared true dance expertise?
West Side Story is my #1. I remember every scene, every song. I loved the dancing on the rooftop for “America.”
