"...like watching a cello come to life." What a lovely statement! This beautiful ballerina was also one of my early idols, and I never understood why she was not more famous. Does anyone know how old she was and what she was doing in her later years?

Who are the great male dancers of the day?

Another potential great male dancer to watch, IMHO in the same category as Corella and Carreno, is the young Carlos Acosta of the Houston Ballet, now dancing with the Royal Ballet, and Houston as a guest artist. I have watched him over the past couple of years and he has the technique of Baryishnikov, the magnetism of Nureyev, the charm and joy in dancing of Corella, and appears to be maturing into a fine partner as well as a dancer of more depth and dramatic ability. A few more years and he just might make the list of greats!
