A Pas de Deux for Grown-ups

For the last couple of years, I have been complaining about The Los Angeles Times website, which had so many problems it's not even worth the time to list them…well, amazingly, the new version they rolled out a week or so ago is absolutely first-rate. The search function even works. Unbelievable.

Here's a sample. Attached to a wonderful piece from last weekend about the marvelousness that is Mischa Baryshnikov at age sixty-one, is a brief video of a pas de deux he is doing on tour with an older dancer; that is, a woman about his age. (She's a Spanish dancer: her name is Ana Laguna.)

It's very simple, and yet touching beyond words can say…at least for yours truly:

One thought on “A Pas de Deux for Grown-ups

  1. I don’t know about the rest of the LA Times site, but their “Culture Monster Blog” is lively and well-written. I’m glad some of their better writers are figuring out how to thrive.
