Former New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Damien Woetzel gives Mo Rocca a ballet lesson, and together they make a new ballet about WMD….. or cookies.

MR: “Do you think if our world leaders studied dance, there’d be greater peace in the world?”

DW: “I do think the ability to waltz, is very conducive to being even-tempered.”

This is brilliant!! And I still can’t get over how coordinated Mo Rocca is - haahah! He’s got pretty decent feet too! Thanks for posting this Kristin :)

P.S. “Oh, it’s just cookies!” heheh…

That was so fun! I LOVE physical comedy. Damian played a great “straight man” to the silliness of Mo Rocca who, dang!, actually has above average extension and has decent turnout for a non pro dancer! The choreography in the narrative context was unbelievably sweet and goofy.

Mo actually does have nice legs and feet! LOL! He missed his calling as a dancer!

This was so fun to watch! I was impressed by Mo Rocca’s coordination, to say the least. I think I want to see that ballet staged!
