I'm not quite sure who the dancers are, but my best guess is Bolshoi Academy. I could be totally off.
This video is a really good example of what all ballet could be like. Ok, not that I want all ballet to be exactly like this, but you'll understand in a moment. Ballet could be classical without being boring to a lot of the general public. It could also be contemporary without being so much "I'm in such a state of distraught that I'm going to do 32 fouette turns". And, its cute, fun and entertaining with some serious technique thrown.

Hi Shelly,
Thanks for sharing this video. Performances like this are why I love the mixture of contemporary and ballet. There is something gorgeous about the combination of awkward movement on pointe. And like you said, all the technique, grace and tricks are still there.

Hi Shelly,
Thanks for sharing this video. I love the combination of this awkward movement on pointe. Contemporary movement is all about change and pushing dance forward and the juxtaposition of it with ballet is gorgeous.
