“It’s a little bit like being shot out of a cannon because you have no time to prepare — you’re off, and you just, like, go!” @isabellaboylston said of this dazzling variation from #georgebalanchine’s “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux,” which she performs on Saturday night at the #metropolitanoperahouse with @abtofficial opposite @josephgorak. For her, the ballet is all about dancing and musicality. “It’s a mistake to think that you can make it better by putting yourself and your ego all over the steps,” she said. “It really succeeds when you leave yourself open to being in the moment. You’ll come through no matter what.” And while she may not dance @nycballet, the house of Balanchine, @isabellaboylston — who plays #jenniferlawrence’s dance double in the upcoming spy film #redsparrow” — is a natural Balanchine ballerina. “I would love to do more, honestly,” she told the @nytimes writer @giadk. “I wish we could do a dancer exchange. That would be the coolest.” It certainly would. #petermartins, #kevinmckenzie: Any takers? @ezrahurwitz made this video for #SpeakingInDance, our weekly series exploring the world of #dance.
