RIP to the wonderful, transcendent Carla Fracci — 8 Comments

  1. Apparently you need a big bearskin, a sporran, a skean dhu, and bagpipes to carry off a kilt.

    OTOH, the guy does have the bone structure…..

    Sorry not to comment on the dance. I have no creds whatsoever in the area.

  2. A wonderful homage for a lovely, lovely dancer. Just delightful to watch. Thanks Neo!

  3. I remember reading about Carla Fracci in Dance Magazine and studying her pictures many years ago growing up in Alaska. Believe it or not, we had quite a good ballet instructor who had danced with the San Francisco Ballet. I never saw Fracci dance but sensed her delicacy and her exquisite carriage and arms.

    Thank you, Neo.

    I have never seen a Dance of the Flowers soloist to equal this one.

    I did see Margot Fonteyn perform with Nureyev several times. Perhaps I’m wrong but she too seemed to lack highly arched feet. Maybe when your body is not ideal, you imbue your dancing with a note of humility that brings more depth to the performance.

  4. Thank you , thank you, thank you, Neo. Couldn’t stop watching.
    THIS is why you send your daughters to ballet class!

  5. Just wanted to add, Neo, after watching a second and third time, what a welcome breath of fresh air after all the current news. Such beauty!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
