Thank you thank you thank you, Greg, for posting this. It was clever, sexy in a really innocent kind of way, and just totally endearing. Then too I've always been a sucker for that Brahms Hungarian Dance. I think it would be fun to work backstage for this show.

Very funny! Where was this performed? Looks like a Las Vegas casino, but I thought I heard French being spoken.

 

I think it was a French version of America's got talent. Not in Vegas, I should know, I've seen almost all the shows here and this wouldn't have escaped my radar

Fan of the Hungarian Dance as well. I actually send emails regularly to the Smith Center here in Vegas to do a night of Symphonic Dances, which I assume would be mostly Brahms.

At the risk of seeming curmudgeonly tiresome, I believe Liszt also wrote some Hungarian Dances, Dvorak wrote a suite of Slavonic Dances, Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnole is mostly made up of spanish dances, and then there's Ravel's quirky smirky take

on J. Strauss, Jr. - "La Valse" (to say nothing of "Bolero")

 

And then, of course, there was a *TON* of music written expressly for the Ballet - The Nutcracker also has some ethnic dances

(Trepak anyone?) (Chinese dance?) (Chocolate) - the waltz from Sleeping Beauty - (or the entire work)

 

So, I would not assume that an evening at Symphony of Dance Music would be mostly Brahms :)

If you're American or live in the US, you have no particular reason to know where the images come from.

 

The show is called "Le plus grand cabaret du monde" (World's Greatest Cabaret) hosted by the iconic Patrick Sebastien and airing once a month on the French National TV channel France2.

 

Thanks for posting this fresh and entertaining towel dance, Greg.
