Top 10 Male Ballet Dancers to Watch Today: The World’s Rising Stars

One of the things I like about this video essay from Deep Dive Dance is that the list you will see below is not definitive and there is even acknowledgement that perhaps there are some dancers who have been overlooked.  So, don’t worry too much if your favourite male ballet dancer does not make it into this video – there is still plenty of time!  Another reason for including this video on Kuriositas is that we get extensive clips of each of the featured dancers, so we can compare and contrast as the video progresses.  Of course, we have featured Giorgi Potskhishvili several times, so his positioning at number one is exactly where he should be right here, right now.

The young ballet dancers featured are a remarkable collection of rising stars and exceptional talents from some of the world’s most prestigious ballet companies. Among them are Marco Masciari and Taisuke Nakao of The Royal Ballet, Gabriel Figueredo of Stuttgart Ballet, Shale Wagman of Paris Opera Ballet, Davi Ramos of The Australian Ballet, Takumi Miyake of American Ballet Theatre, Guillaume Diop of Paris Opera Ballet, Dmitry Smilevsky of Bolshoi Ballet, António Casalinho of Vienna State Ballet, and Giorgi Potskhishvili of Dutch National Ballet. Each brings their own distinctive artistry, technical brilliance and stage presence, showcasing the exciting future of classical ballet.
