My #1 is by "The Hard Nut" by the Mark Morris Dance Group. It's set in the late 60s early 70s and has a gender bending cast. Men dancing en pointe in tutus; the maid and the mother are men. The Waltz of the Snowflakes is absolutely spectacular:

Watching this performance I love this Video Miss Scarlett! I have never seen Men on Point before. I was tickled to see the way their bodies handled Toe shoes.The men here did really well but still move so differently than women. Missing that light as a feather flexibility that ballerinas portrait. I also found I was looking at all the dancers to see if any of them had breasts Nice! Thank you for sharing this
