Les Ballets Eloelle Performs “Men in Tutu’s”

The comedy aspect of “Men in Tutus” – clever, affectionate parody of the ballet canon, both classical and contemporary via the dancers’ hilarious female personae – never undermines either the challenges of performing the complex choreography or the exceptional results, which make the show so thrilling to watch. Trevino, who began his comedic career with Les Ballet Trockadero De Monte Carlo, where he performed almost all the female leads in the repertoire as a principal dancer, adds that it is not only the individual proficiency of the dancers that is impressive. “Learning to work as partners is another challenge,” he notes. “Dancers in any traditional ballet company will appreciate the difficulties here, but when men partner men, there are several adjustments to make. Again, we must take into account our weight and physicality, but we also need to learn how to be supported or lifted as we move.” Facebook | @expressoshow.sabc3 |   / expressoshow.sabc3   Twitter | @expressoshow |   / expressoshow   Instagram | @expressoshow |   / expressoshow   Pinterest | @expressomorning |   / expressomorning   Snapchat | @expressoshow | https://www.snapchat.com Website | http://www.expressoshow.com
