mnacenani Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) 11 hours ago, Drew said: One of my all-time favorite ballerinas Saw little of her at the ROH during the Nineties but she sure was a breath of fresh air (my favs at the time were Asylmuratova and Durante). She had a very interesting (imho) monologue on YT which I had posted on a different thread - will try to find and post it here for the benefit of any members who might not have seen it.

Mashinka Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Whatever she's got it for, it wasn't technical accuracy. These honours are scattered around like confetti though and a lot of people turn them down when offered.
