Helene Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Congratulations to the promoted dancers and the new aspirants Tina Højlund's Effie was the absolute highlight of the "La Sylphide" I saw in the early '00's. Link to comment
Drew Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Congratulations to the promoted dancers and the new aspirants Tina Højlund's Effie was the absolute highlight of the "La Sylphide" I saw in the early '00's. I loved her in Bournonville when I saw some RDB soloists on tour (also in the early 00's). Well . . . wishing her the best! Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 She's actually doing just a couple more shows, of a piece called Ballet Relay, made by Sebastian Kloborg and Tim Matiakis for a tour last summer as a sort of ballet-meets-the-Olympics: it was very popular and there are dozens and dozens of photos of it, including Højlund, here.
