BOSSA

Jorge Luis Morejon Dances Bossa
.
What it is very interesting about this video is that Jorge Luis Morejon, after performing Bossa's duet at the Amaturo Theatre in Fort Lauderdale, the Manuel Artime Theatre in Miami, and the Jackcy Gleason Theatre in Miami Beach, as part of the Miami International Ballet Festival, finishes the season with Brazarte's Gala at Manuel Artime Theatre. As he walked on stage left, he broke his middle toe on his left foot. The clip of his duet with his fellow dancer Marie, which includes a lift, was danced with his broken toe, without any body noticing, not even Marie, who did not find out until the end of the performance. The fracture resulted in a surgery that required months of recuperation before he was able to dance again.
