dirac Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 An interview with Isaac and Esteban Hernandez. Quote The Hernández brothers started dancing at an early age in the backyard of their house in Mexico. "Sort of the place where we hang our laundry. My dad built a barre and we would lay down thin pieces of wood to use as ballet floor," Esteban said. Their parents, who were both dancers, taught them the intangibles: passion and discipline.

dirac Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 An interview with Marcelino Sambé by Debra Craine in The Times. Quote On stage Sambé can be many things — effervescent, sensual, cheeky, powerful, heartfelt and intense — but off stage the Portuguese 28-year-old is a role model for black and gay dancers everywhere. Labels attached to a dancer’s career can be a curse, drawing attention away from true talent, but Sambé, as befits his accommodating nature, is willing to oblige. Link to comment
dirac Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 A review of Philadelphia Ballet by Ellen Dunkel in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Quote Sydney Dolan, a first soloist, danced the role of Cinderella, and has all but grown up in the company. Artistic director Angel Corella hired her for (what was then called) Pennsylvania Ballet II, when she was 15. Now, she is a wonderful Cindy with strong acting skills, able to imagine herself into a better life and then abruptly fall right back to her dingy reality. Link to comment
