One of the most famous ballet dancers in the world – Natalia Osipova – is releasing the world’s FIRST ballet NFTs. Natalia’s new collection, Triptych, is being auctioned by Bonhams in London from 12 pm on 29th November, with bidding closing on 10th December. In the three videos, minted on the Ethereum blockchain, Natalia performs ballet classics and a new contemporary dance. Two pieces from Giselle and the modern duet, Left behind, have been EXCLUSIVELY filmed and minted in a limited set of NFTs.
Natalia is an exceptional dancer, performing for sold-out crowds across the world – this is the first time that a ballerina has released an NFT.
