Check! Last night the Royal Danish Ballet performed Napoli at the Kennedy Center. The Artistic Director restaged the work to take place in 1950s Naples, complete with vespas and adorably sweet a-line skirts. Of course, the dancing was spectacular. The company has a number of truly exquisite performers. Never have I seen dancers so light on their feet! The final act, which features an elaborate Tarantella dance, had me grinning in my seat. Perfection.
This (rather old) video doesn't capture the full energy of the live performance... but for anyone who is interested, here's a link to the Tarantella. (Again with the lack of embed code. Odd.)
