NinaFan, I don't care for Whiteside or Boylston, which is putting it mildly. But they were paired with dancers I did like all season, so I saw a LOT of them. I felt like this season was pairing the best with the worst, over and over again. I feel like great and potentially great dancers keep getting passed over in favor of lesser talents.
When I saw Lane with Cornejo in La Bayadere, that was *magic*, even with a slightly wonky scarf dance. Even though Whipped Cream isn't a ballet for the ages, probably, last night was also magic. There was way too little magic this season. But at least I got to see some great performances this year. I agree with you - I wish the season were longer.
