Homenaje al Ballet Nacional by Carlos de la Cárcova, Bronze monument and fountain at Plaza Lavalle, Argentina.
The monument displays two ballet dancers in motion, standing on a base surrounded by three circular masonry fountains with water features.
Carlos de la Cárcova created this monument in 1972 to commemorate nine Ballet Estable dancers who perished in an aircraft accident in 1971.
The sculpture represents Norma Fontenla and Jose Neglia performing a dance step, capturing the essence of Teatro Colon's National Ballet tradition.
The monument underwent restoration in 2019 at MOA workshops due to subway vibrations and vandalism, returning to its location in October 2021.
The fountain system, designed by architect Ezequiel Cerrato, incorporates dancing water features that complement the ballet dancers' movement.
