BalletPerfection1 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have wrote a article on Jurgita's departure and move to Canada. See the interview: https://theballetblogger.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/interview-jurgita-dronina/ Link to comment
Helene Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 That's a very nice interview with Dronina: thank you for posting it! I remember Hernandez as a very promising young dancer at San Francisco Ballet, and it was great to hear her praise for him. It's so difficult when a partner retires, and to find another is a great gift. He had since joined English National Ballet (after Dutch National Ballet). http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/theatre/isaac-hern-ndez-the-hottest-ballet-boy-to-hit-london-since-carlos-acosta-10436964.html Link to comment
