Ballet is gorgeous when performed to classics [3] like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, so what happens when you mix it with pop music? Brilliance, that's what. Nikisha Fogo [4] and Natascha Mair [5], both principal dancers at the Vienna State Opera Ballet, proved it with their short but oh-so-sweet choreography set to "Don't Stop Now" [6] by Dua Lipa. The two ballerinas team-taught an Instagram Live class for European Ballet Theatre and included this fresh combo at the end, which they saved for all of us to enjoy, and although it's just a short snippet of the song's chorus, it's so fun to watch that I'm crossing my fingers for a longer version. Fogo and Mair even encouraged viewers to try out the choreography for themselves, and while I may opt out of that (my dance cardio skills aren't quite up to prima-ballerina level), I'm all for more Dua Lipa-ballet collabs from any and all contributors. Watch Fogo and Mair's quick and catchy choreo above!
