This video was posted on Yoko Ono’s facebook profile. She writes on the YouTube video the following comment: i am totally and deeply touched. Please send my love to the incredible artist/dancer. He made me choke up. With love, yoko
Comments below her post on Facebook explained the video a bit more: He’s 20 years old and learned about the ballet of the Swan Lake at a NGO project. He is named after John Lennon and has a surname Silva, which is very much like Smith, in english… He prepared the coreography after seeing the original part danced by a white dressed female dancer…In his presentation the judge says to him that his costume is simply awful and that she doubts he wil manage something with that…

This kid did a great job. I have seen some projects in Brazil where the producer goes to the favelas (slums) looking for dancers, singers, etc. The winners get to participate in a big production that travels worldwide. Great opportunity for those who can barely dream about going to music/dance school.
