Ballet In Advertising

The Korea National Ballet advertising the newly available in Korea Levi’s Stretch Jean. (via designtaxi.com)

Two brands using ballet in their advertising to demonstrate product benefits. And while the spots are beautiful they come infused with a touch of irony, given how difficult it is actually to market ballet as an art form to the masses. 

The Levi’s ad reminds me of the the must-see documentary Pina a tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch directed by Wim Wenders.

AUSTRALIAN RELEASE DATE: 18 August 2011 OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.hopscotchfilms.com.au/films/coming-soon/pina-movie/ PINA is a feature-length dance film in 3D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, featuring the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died in the summer of 2009.

“Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” Pina Bausch
