I did not see Reyes' Aurora this season, but I remember thoroughly enjoying her in the role.  She seems to have an innate sense of musicality that elevates her dancing to another level.  

I wish I could describe this better.  I remember her dancing in Kudulka's Désir had a such a level of musicality that it was a completely different piece than when others danced the same part--one performance seemed like an incredible feat of athleticism while Reyes' was a work of art.


As much as I love Veronika Part's dancing, I have to admit that Zina's opening dance in The Bright Stream (holding the book) didn't make much sense to me when I saw her dance it.  It was only when I saw Xiomara dance it at a later performance that I really got how the music and the steps were meant to go together.  Someone mentioned above that they never seek out her performances but are always pleasantly surprised; that's been my experience several times this season.

I'm glad to hear that others appreciate her too.  I always look forward to seeing her dance and wanted to see her this season, but I could not renew my subscriptions this season for financial reasons, so I only saw three performances. :(
