Merry TuTchTMas! 2 Lords a’leaping… BROOKLYN MACK with FRED ASTAIRE . THIS YEAR’S TuTchTMAS JOINT features the ground-breaking ballet powerhouse Brooklyn Mack (although the aforementioned ground is usually far below this athletic air-dweller.) The culturally-en-pointe-monikered Mr. Mack first appeared on my TuTchT IG timeline during Black History Month after he and Misty Copeland made history as the first Black Female & Male leads to ever dance Swan Lake on a major concert stage. (The Kennedy Center, no less.) That was in 2015 with the Washington Ballet. I’ve been a fan & follower of this brother ever since. He is amazingly down to earth for such a high-flying superstar of the classical dance world. When I was selecting this year’s dancer I knew it was about time my TuTchTmas puppetized tributes finally expanded their reach, up into the high art world where our brothers Brooklyn and Fred could fully embrace the soaring quirkidom of this WTF-ish tradition. . Brooklyn’s storied history includes stints with the Joffrey Ballet, Orlando Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and globe-spanning guest appearances. His current guest residency is with London’s @EnglishNationalBallet where he just blew audiences & critics away as Lankendem in Le Corsaire at the London Coliseum. If you don’t already, you should DEFINITELY follow @BrooklynMack5 !! (Warning: stretch your neck muscles first because he’s almost always somewhere up in the stratosphere.) And with the traditional dancing of the TuTchTmas puppets, this year’s TuTchTmas Afterglow season officially comes to a close. If you’re confused by our odd holiday tradition of pairing a top dancer with Fred Astaire, check out my posts today & yesterday for a little video explanation of how this madness started over a decade ago. — And in keeping with the ballet holiday vibe, check out our “Nutcracker and the Four Realms” S/O to LoJoFam @LilBuckdaLegend. . #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerksDailyDope #DailyDope #MerryTuTchTmas #BrooklynMack #Fred Astaire #TopMaleBalletDancers #BalletSuperstars #BlackHistoryFirsts #TuTchTmasAfterglow #BlackHistoryMonth #TopAfricanAmericanArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NB6_ZFI25/?igshid=1cafdfxbdsa1m
