Premiere: David Barba & James Pellerito Explore the Anatomy of a Male Ballet Dancer

Our pirouettes may be rustier than an old car, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the sight of a few ballet dancers twirling across a stage. It's these graceful, beautiful ballet dancers that catch the attention of David Barba and James Pellerito in their new film, Anatomy of a Male Ballet Dancer.

The duo, who wrote, produced, photographed, edited, and directed the film, found their star in Marcelo Gomes, the "danceur noble" so suave he's basically a Disney prince with the talent to bring down a room of ballet enthusiasts. Raised in Rio de Janeiro, the dancer has been called the Pele of Ballet and won the Prix de Lausanne before joining the American Ballet Theatre in 1997. Since then he's gone from Soloist to Principle. If those words went over your head, just know he's a phenomenal dancer.

Before you head to the theater in January for the premiere screening, sit back and watch the exclusive premiere of the trailer below.

Anatomy of a Male Ballet Dancer will have a two-week engagement, January 3-16, at Film Forum, 209 West Houston Street, West of 6th Ave. The film will screen daily Monday-Thursday at 2:20, 4:15 & 6:10; on Fridays at 2:20, 4:15, 6:10, 8:00 & 10:10; and Saturdays & Sundays at 12:30, 2:20, 4:15, 6:10, 8:00 & 10:10.
