LANA DEL REY – SHADES OF COOL | Anna Ol & James Stout | Metamorphosis 1 Pas de Deux [Extract]

Pas de Deux (Metamorphosis I) from David Dawson’s brilliant ballet “Metamorphosis” performed by James Stout and the magnificent Anna Ol (the one and only!).

I edited it slightly and changed the music to “Shades of Cool” by Lana Del Rey.

Anna Ol is the prima Ballerina for the Dutch National Ballet, and is my FAVORITE ballerina! Speaking of…
The Dutch National Ballet has been kind enough to share the ENTIRE performance of “Metamorphosis” on YouTube! The dance itself is amazing of course, but they really devoted time and money to doing the choreography justice on film. The lighting is exquisite, everything! — Full Performance of “Metamorphosis” — https://youtu.be/e0y7eQlQVRI

AND! Please check out the Dutch National Ballet’s channel & subscribe! They are incredibly generous and upload a ton of long ballet clips, as well as FULL ballet performances and dance films (yes, you read that correctly)!
I thank the Dutch National Ballet for giving us poor souls, who could never watch your beautiful productions in person, access to them virtually—and free of charge!
*****Please consider donating to the Dutch National Ballet! I am sure that the SARS-CoV-2 situation hit them hard, and they could use our support. Let us all show them our sincere gratitude! 🙂 The original video has a web link in the description for how you can help!
