Movie Reviews of Born to Be Wild - The Leading Men of American Ballet Theatre
Movie Review: Terrific new dancers
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has definitely exceeded my expectations. I have been so disappointed that there are few ballets on DVD that have been produced within the last 5 years. I bought this DVD because I wanted to see what the ABT has produced since the year 2000 in the form of dancers.
These 4 men are fantastic. I know for sure one of them was trained by Mikhail Baryshnikov...I think Ethan Steifel. All 4 men are absolutely terrific dancers not to mention heart throbs with Jose actually taking your breath away with his dancing and masculinity.
This DVD is a documentary NOT a ballet although it has a short dance routine at the end of the DVD showing the 4 men together.
I"m sure it was made to introduce to us the 4 new male dancers
with ABT It helped me to determine if they are dancers I really want to spend my money on and the short clips showing their dancing ability in the ballets they were in proved to me that it definitely wouldn't be wasted money. I've already bought "Le Corsaire" with 3 of them performing (just arrived in the mail yesterday) and Center Stage with Ethan Steifel which is a movie about ballet dancers not a ballet. Very great performance by Ethan.
I know I would not have bought Center Stage before I saw what Ethan could do. I doubt very much if I could go wrong with buying anything that these 4 men are in as "Born to be Wild" shows us how incredibly talented they are.
The documentary is acutally out of date already as it was made in 2002 ...7 years ago. I think one of them has left ABT. However, unlike the lady that said she won't watch it again, I know I will watch it many times just so I can see these amazing dancers both off stage and on stage. There really does need to be more current ballets available for purchase.
