Helene Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Congratulations to him His dancing is a beautiful combination of plush muscularity and stature. We were lucky to see him in "Don Q" on tour in Vancouver. Link to comment

We were lucky to see him in "Don Q" on tour in Vancouver. AND...another good-(and rare, as we all agree by now)-example of racial diversity in ballet. Link to comment
Natalia Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yahooooo!!!! I've been awaiting this for a while. Link to comment

cubanmiamiboy Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yahooooo!!!! I've been awaiting this for a while. Natasha...I get the feeling he won't be too long in the Cuban ranks...so let's see. At least Valdes has-(once again)-another reliable partenaire. Edited to add: The second comment on the following Youtube clip states...: : "Suffer you all..! Now all he needs is to be part of ABT, RB or POB" Helene....this is from that performance in Vancouver you saw. Unreal moment from 4:28 to 4:42. Link to comment
Natalia Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thank you, Cristian! I watch this -- especially Osiel -- and my soul is sparked with positivity. This is why I (we) love ballet. Link to comment
elena Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Congrats to him!! He is such a talent... Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Now with Gounod I notice that Valdes' partenaires are becoming more and more her juniors. There's quite an age difference between the two of them. Link to comment
