dirac Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 A profile of Lourdes Lopez. Quote “There is something that is never mentioned and that I am very proud of. It is to have been the first and only Latin principal dancer — until today — of the New York City Ballet. Latin and Cuban,” she said in an interview with dance critic Orlando Taquechel. After a successful career on stage, López retired at age 39. But even though she was finished dancing, she wasn’t done with ballet. Link to comment
dirac Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 A review of Sarasota Ballet by Mary Cargill for danceviewtimes. Quote Macarena Giménez, a new principal from Argentina, danced the Fonteyn role. It may have been nerves but she had a too-bright grin that she occasionally flashed at the audience -- she is a fine dancer and Ashton doesn't need selling. Her dancing, especially her effortlessly secure balances, had a warm flow and she had a fine rapport with her partner Ricardo Graziano. He danced with a generous dignity and led the six men in a snappy mazurka which was danced with an eager verve, as they bent into those infectious rhythms with a uniform vigor. The men were also able to command the stage as they stood at the rear watching, oh so keenly, the women's solos; they might have been pausing on their way to bow to the Tsar. Link to comment
