cubanmiamiboy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 This is intriguing. Whatever happens, I wish he could finally have a company to settle... Link to comment
Birdsall Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Such a waste of talent for him not to be with a company! Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Such a waste of talent for him not to be with a company! He has tried several since his defection from Alonso's, BB, but with no luck. We had him at MCB for a while and he didn't look as if he was enjoying himself with the repertoire. He's meant for the warhorses roles, and Balanchine was just not suited for his dancing style. Link to comment

He would certainly fit with ABT . His DQ guest appearance was,i thought, well-received but no future appearance followed. Link to comment

Birdsall Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What a shame he isn't dancing regularly with a home company! Link to comment
Buddy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Agreed, Birdsall. I think that the man is remarkably talented ! Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think he likes the circuit environment... Link to comment
Buddy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 He would certainly fit with ABT . His DQ guest appearance was,i thought, well-received but no future appearance followed. Bingham, I would have agreed with this. I saw him perform several times with the Miami City Ballet and my feeling was that he could be one of the greatest male dancers ever ! He had Charisma, nobility, adaptability and a fineness of dance that I felt made him Extra Special. After he left MCB I thought that ABT would be a perfect place for him. A home company like this might have been a place to focus and be focused on, eventually to be acknowledged as one of the all-time greats. If as Cristian is now suggesting, he might actually like "the circuit environment" then fine. If he's happy there then I'm happy for him and he and us may still have the opportunity to enjoy greatness as well. As Tamara Rojo expressed in one of her many interviews after taking over ENB, she went into the job thinking that it was all about dance and quickly concluded that it was much more about the wellbeing of the humans who were doing the dancing. Footnote (added later) : This is Tamara Rojo's actual quote: "I always thought I would see that the art comes first and therefore these decisions have to be made. Then you meet the person and the art cannot come first, because a person is much more important." http://www.guardian....o-ballet-dancer Link to comment
Buddy Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Still on the radar 30 April 2014 (Wed), 19:00 Ballet theatre of St. Petersburg Conservatoire [Russia] - Classical Ballet Gala Ballet: World Best Ballet Stars "You will have the unique opportunity to enjoy the skill of the dancers who have been awarded the prize "Benois de la Danse" - Oscar equivalent in the field of dance - Rolando Sarabia and his partner Venus Villa, soloist English National Ballet in London.

Lidewij Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Rolando Sarabia is currently guesting als Basilio in the Royal Ballet of Flanders' New Don Quixote. I saw him on Tuesday (I bought a ticket especially to see him), his first performance of the run. He was the only one with good stage presence, catching my attention the whole time he was on stage. He was also a very caring partner. However, he did not perform his 3rd act variation and coda, which really disappointed me. I don't know if this was planned or if he got injured during the performance (if he did, I didn't notice a thing). But still, he gave a very enjoyable performance. Link to comment
miliosr Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's a shame things didn't work out with ABT after his one guest appearance several years ago. It seems like ABT would have been the ideal company for him given the kind of dancer he is. Link to comment
