They just have to keep on dancing! Ballet Manila artists love their craft so much that even when they’re away from the stage, they end up busting a move, trying out some steps or at least striking a ballet pose or two.
Ballet Manila is no stranger to joining international festivals. It’s an opportunity for the dancers to display their mettle in a showcase that puts the spotlight on the best of the best from around the world. The 2015 Silk Road Cultural Festival in Gyeongju, Korea was no exception. But even after their official duties were done, performing to appreciative crowds, they apparently still had a lot of energy to use up. Just take a look at this photo of a beaming Francis Cascaño who executes a mid-air split. If you could make this move with seemingly minimal effort, you’d be smiling too.
