The Little Balerina : Shutter Speed

I woke up this morning thinking about this incredibly beautiful video from a few months ago--

Photographer David Eustace created this piece called "The Little Ballerina." I'm relatively sure it was shot with one of the Canons (5D or 7D) because of the motion blur, which I think was done with a change in the shutter speed...





"The Anthropologist," for which this video was made, says the following:
"_To capture the movement, precision and grace of ballerina Tomomi Sato, Eustace filmed her in action, revealing frame-by-frame the delicate beauty inherent in her mastery of dance.

Kind of reminds me of: 

L'etoile [La danseuse sur la scene]
Degas, 1878

Fancy, what DSLRs can do.
