I saw McBride do this live around this time and it really was exquisite--she had that ability to just give herself over to the movement that just drew you in.
Love McBride! So lovely! And Sean looks splendid in this, God rest his soul. I’ve seen other ballerinas try this & though technically capable, they just don’t scintillate in that soft romantic manner that McBride does.
pure class and glamour
Gershwin, Balanchine, Lavery and McBride. What’s that called? Oh, yes. Perfection.
RIP Sean.
Yes. It was. No oversell or “tricks.” Just pure artistry.
And heaven.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and touching pas I've ever seen.
sean is perfectly romantic in this; and their bow together at the end... so lovely.

Patty's just lovely. I love Sean too.

Sean was amazing and always smiling, he will be missed.
Thank you for posting
Heaven-sent beauty.
Sublime artistry. Thank you John
Sublime artistry says it all! Thanks for posting.
Awesome!
I like Viviane in this better. Especially the liquid backbends walking backwards like she's shooting an arrow. Her back is gorgeous.
I feel bad that the name of this is "The Man I Love" and poor Patty lost Jean-Pierre so soon. 🥺 Heartbreaking. It's all I can think of watching this.
so wonderful to see. I just love her. so smooth and groovy and sexy
That look at 3:04.
her feet are perfect!
So did George Gershwin or George Balanchine write this music?
Gershwin of course.
