Guest Ange4567 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Yes shes a pretty dancer, I really admire her hyperextension. I wasn't on the edge of my seat though.. I guess I like extremely strong dancers Link to comment

Dancing Angel Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I live in Toronto and I had seen the Stars of the 21st Century. She was there and was amazing!!!!!! She is so flexible and wonderful. Here's the site. MY teacher is the Artistic Director. www.starsofthe21stcentury.com Link to comment
Stuttgart Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hi, I find her an amazingly technicly dancer. She is very good. She danced Sleeping Beauty with Malakhov in Stuttgart. But technic is not everything...... More I am not going to say because I really respect her. Link to comment
Rubies Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 How do you find her amazing technically? She doesn't have any strength or stamina. When she performed Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, Tomasson omitted the fouette turns for her because she couldn't complete them. The first (and only?) year she performed Giselle, he eventually took out the hop section because, again, she wasn't strong enough to do them. I believe this is why she did not reprise the role last season. Yes, she is hyperextended like no one else, but this gives her major problems turning. Instead of pirouetting over her toe, she goes around it, sort of like a top. It seems that she never developed the muscles to control her hyperextension. For me, I enjoy watching dancers who work to achieve greatness, not rest on their laurels. Link to comment
LMCtech Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Just to clear up any mis-information. Lacarra decided herself not to do Giselle because of her planned move back to Europe and the seemigly short rehearsal period. Link to comment
Guest Ange4567 Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Yeah some of you are right.. When I saw her.. No matter how much fame shes received.. I couldn't wait for her and her fiance to finish their dance and make way for our very own talented dancers. While the hyperextension and technique may seem amzing, it wears off. I'm not trying to be mean but in order to be a ballet dancer, you have to have that "amazing touch". You have to keep your audience on the edge of their seats! Yeah, there really is more to dancing than the perfect body and technique... And that something just might be more important than the two of those combined.. Link to comment
