Ray Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Check out this article on Philadelphia's Rock School for Dance Education, which includes a video clip: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/entertainme...next_level.html Notice the promising dancing of 13-year-old Esteban Hernandez and others!

printscess Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thank you for the link. I enjoyed the article and the video. Esteban is the spitting image of his brother Issac. Link to comment
Solnishka79 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was just at YAGP in Philly last weekend with a few of my students and had the chance to see a few of the Rock students. Esteban was wonderful-it was amazing to see so much stage presence, fire, and technical ability in such a little guy. Sara Michelle Murawski did very well also and is doing a nice job of getting her lankiness under control. Overall, the Rock students were very strong and promising, nice performers. I would have liked to have seen more epaulement to complete the package. Link to comment
onefan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi, I am new to this board. Great information!! I was also at the YAGP in Philly. I also thought it was packed with very strong performers with a lot of potential. The senior Grand Prix winner was amazing. Her pirouettes were so clean and controlled! I also thought the gold medalist in the junior women's division showed a lot of potential. Great stage presence, clean technique. Link to comment
stepintime Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Here is a video clip of Rock students from a local news program. I'm not sure about how to create an actual link, but hopefully cutting and pasting in the browser will work. http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/media?id=6043560 Link to comment
carbro Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Did just fine, stepintime, and welcome to BalletTalk! Thanks for the link and the opportunity to see these remarkable young dancers. Link to comment
namaste Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thank you for posting this link! What a nicely done video. Link to comment
Solnishka79 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to watch too much of the junior/senior catagories as I was running around backstage and also because of the crazy power outage but what I did see was impressive. I saw a lot more of the pre competitive group from the audience than other groups and the winner of the Hope Award was very nice. She has the whole package (feet, turnout, extension, turns, and stage presence) and (if she keeps it up and doesn't burn out in a few years) will be in a major company someday. Link to comment
onefan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just saw a link of videos of two of the dancers mentioned above. They are being shown as part of a cover model contest on a dance catalog. Emily- wow! and Millis- beautiful! here's the link: removed Link to comment
stepintime Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Advertising tactic to promote students ahead of others? Is this appropriate for this site? Link to comment
onefan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sorry, Still learning the ropes here. I have removed the link. I don't know if youtube is allowed either but you can put the names of the dancers in youtube and watch if anyone is interested. Sorry for the faux pas! Link to comment
