Two videos of Mathias ... from seven years ago!

I guess the IBC (International Ballet Competitions) in Seoul, Korea is getting geared up for another event.  They posted a slew of videos from past years on the Internet including one of Mathias' classical variations and also Sertaki by Bejart.  Here are the links:

Steve and I wondered if Mathias knew these were now available ... so during a telephone call yesterday, we asked.  Mathias said he knew about the videos because the competition emailed him.  Then, we asked what he thought about his performances in these videos.  After all, they were taken years ago ... a month or so after his seventeenth birthday.  His answer, "Not bad for a kid."  LOL!
