Lynette H Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm a little surprised that this is described as Corrales's "Professional debut". He joined English National Ballet in 2014 and is now a first soloist there. Earlier this month he was the Outstanding Male performance (classical) at the National Dance Awards here in the UK. Perhaps it is intended to indicate that it his first professional appearance in the US ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree it is very misleading. When I saw it I also thought, WTH??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, Alina Cojocaru commented on Twitter that she will not be participating in those galas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abatt Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I attended the YAGP Stars of Today..., as well as the Bocca gala. There were many wonderful moments, but the highlight was the breathtaking performance of Rojo and Corrales in the Don Q pdd at the Bocca gala.

sz Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was at the Bocca Gala too. Hernandez danced with Tamara. She was incredible! A firecracker at 42 years old! Triple turns inserted in every third fast and furious fouetté! So many personal touches and style added. Loved her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abatt Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Rojo's balances were also truly spectacular. Didn't realize that she was 42 years young. Also, thanks for the correction on her partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
