The Dying Swan

A ballet solo about a Dying Swan, performed by a hula hoop virtuosa.

 

Originally based on the divertissment choreographed by Fokine for Anna Pavlova over a hundred years ago this is a funny, beautiful and highly skilled piece of stage or street theatre entertaiment.

 

Press Reviews For The Dying Swan:

"... the highlight of the show, however, was Miss Judy's wonderful - and superbly funny - The Dying Swan routine with hula hoops"

‘silly and sublime…hoops that built to an improbably large number, and thunderous applause … an impressive Dance of The Dying Swan”
