Beautiful body, beautiful face, beautiful dancer. There is one shot where I thought he was "on point" facing his partner. I went back and he is slightly off the ground. Wonderful picture. Thanks for posting some amazing pictures. 🙏

You're so very welcome, it was absolutely my pleasure, and thank YOU for the kind words. =)

...every inch of that body is the result of passion and discipline - so unbelievably sculpted through and formed into an instrument of perfection ...

It's all too easy to forget dancers are athletes as well as artists. Seeing dancers like Bolle perform so seemingly effortlessly, naturally, hides the hard work and dedication to art. You don't get to look like him by just showing up. Thanks for posting this, Pam. I really enjoy your Caught series. Great idea. I am not in the least bit jealous of Bolle's physique. Nope, not me.

An excellent point about the athleticism of male dancers; Bruce Weber's book of photos, "Roberto Bolle: An Athlete in Tights" makes the point and leaves no room for doubt.

One could have an anatomy class with these incredible photos. He has the body a Greek god would cry for.

As a danseur, as a man, as an object of beauty, as a humanitarian . . . Roberto il Divino, Roberto il Bellissimo, Roberto il Magnifico . . . .

He was a wonderful partner with a great stage presence and a great technique. It was always a pleasure to watch him and his partner. Thank you for posting. ❤❤❤❤

Stunning

Roberto Bolle est un de mes danseurs préférés. Merci

Gorgeous!

You made a commemoration, a dream tribute. A esthete, sculptural, perfect too perfect... I really appreciated the beauty of each of the photographs and others. However, I do not feel the ardor, the effect, the shivers, the vibrations that from Rudolph Nureyev I always receive in echoes. Splendor, tremors, beauty, charisma, etc. ... Even if perhaps Roberto Bolle on the technical level alone is perhaps or accredited more perfect, (still this word) ! Grateful laughter for this very pleasant moment : )) Sincere Joe Grateful laughter for this very pleasant moment. As you will have understood, my preference remains Rudolph Nureyev. He is inhabited by dance, inhabited by his unique personality, by a whole. He gives or opens the door to life when he enters the scene. Etc. ... In real life, of course, it was amazing, but I also really like the many moments, shows, precious moments that captured Rudolph Nureyev for immortality. I think there is something for all tastes and colors. I think we are inhabited by different sensitivities too : )) THANKS & Sincerely, Joe

My dear Pam, I remember having problems with the translator the day I wrote this text. I had pretty much corrected it myself. I see that there are still duplicates and errors. Please excuse me. With gratitude for your stamp or heart. Very good weekend. Here in Lausanne, it finally feels like autumn is coming. I am so happy to open my windows and gaze at this colorful season where it is good to breathe. Best wishes for your health and again thank you very much for everything. Sincerely, Joe

Errore in descrizione. La ballerina si chiama VIRNA Toppi, non Virina. Correggere per favore

Beautiful physique, impeccable technique but no emotion whatsoever. I give 10 Bolle for 1 Barichnikov.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ I don’t know if this was your intention but you manage to capture one of the most beautiful parts of le premier danseur et also, in my opinion, ballerinas too: the armpit to triceps line. It’s so underrated but so powerful. I loved the inclusion of Apollo and the final CAUGHT MOMENT: both arms up 🇧🇷🇵🇹🩰❤️
