What a great topic!

I'm going to limit my replies to dancers I've seen in person. So, here goes:

Legs: Sylvie Guillem, Maria Kowroski, Marie-Agnes Gillot

Feet: Veronika Part, Isabelle Guerin, Alessandra Ferri

Arms/Hands: Nina Ananiashvili, Julie Kent

Eyes: Mara Galeazzi

I've never read a biography of Schumann, but I recently read a novel about his marriage to Clara Wieck- "Clara" by Janice Galloway. It's beautifully written, and captured the spirit of their romance and music. It's even structured in the sections of Frauenliebe und leben!

I traveled to Paris to see Liebeslieder Walzer as well

I'd gladly hop on a plane for:

A Month in the Country

The Dream

The Two Pigeons

Ondine

Mayerling

Manon

Thanks Maria- I'll search for the Bournonville tape.

Cinderella and Don Q both sound tantalizing. I've only been able to see Kobborg dance a few times and in tragic roles- Onegin, Romeo and Rudolf. I'm still floored by his subtle acting and incredibly pure technique.

Let's petition the Royal Ballet to release Johan DVDs

I'm trying to locate any videos or DVDs with Johan Kobborg. I recently saw him in "Mayerling". What a dancer!

Thanks!
