The National Ballet of Canada hopes to expand the appeal of dance and grow its audience with a new video that explores the precision and technique involved in the art form. Directed by Ben Shirinian, the two-minute film features dancer/choreographer Guillaume Cote dancing in slow motion within an undefined space to show those of us that can’t dance that ballet, in fact, is more difficult than it looks. Our two left feet are jealous.
