-0400balletavatarsue jin kangjiri jelinekmatjash mrozewskidancestuttgartphotography<p>Hello! There’s quite a long list…I’ll try to narrow it down to my absolute favourites, and dancers that I have seen perform / are currently dancing with companies / etc. I do admire the usual suspects, however - Nureyev, Misha, Fonteyn, and the like.</p> <p>I’m absolutely in love with the ensemble at Stuttgart. In particular, <strong>Friedemann Vogel</strong>, <strong>Marijn Rademaker</strong>, <strong>Sue Jin Kang</strong>, <strong>Evan McKie</strong>, <strong>Alexander Jones</strong>, and <strong>Alicia Amatriain</strong>. Such a talented company!</p> <p>At ABT, I think <strong>Daniil Simkin</strong>, <strong>Roberto Bolle</strong>, <strong>Julie Kent</strong>, <strong>Gillian Murphy</strong>, <strong>Paloma Herrera</strong>, <strong>Angel Corella</strong>, <strong>Sarah Lane</strong>, and <strong>David Hallberg</strong> are absolutely wonderful.</p> <p><strong>Andrei Merkuriev</strong>, <strong>Ivan Vasiliev</strong>, and <strong>Natalia Osipova</strong> from the Bolshoi are brilliant, too. I’m also fond of <strong>Chi Cao</strong> from the Birmingham Royal Ballet and <strong>Yuhui Choe</strong> from the Royal Ballet. Need to mention <strong>Polina Semionova</strong>, <strong>Mathieu Ganio</strong>, and <strong>Isabelle Ciaravola </strong>as well.</p> <p>There’s a plethora of fantastic dancers at the National Ballet of Canada: <strong>Jiri Jelinek</strong> (formerly of Stuttgart), <strong>Xiao Nan Yu</strong>, <strong>Greta Hodgkinson</strong>,<strong> Guillaume Côté</strong>, and <strong>Aleksandar Antonijevic </strong>are obvious standouts. <strong>Zdenek Konvalina</strong>, too - but he’s just left the company for the English National Ballet, it seems. In the up-and-coming category, I predict that <strong>Chelsy Meiss</strong>, <strong>Naoya Ebe</strong>, <strong>Brendan Saye</strong>, <strong>Elena Lobsanova</strong>, and <strong>Dylan Tedaldi</strong> will do great things.</p> <p>Clearly I wasn’t able to narrow it down, haha. But there you go, my favourite dancers as of right now!</p>http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/8006656850http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/8006656850Sun, 24 Jul 2011 13:33:00 -0400askballet<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D2e2gupcJ9M?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Grand Pas Coda from <em>Don Quixote</em> performed by Angel Corella and Paloma Herrera of ABT.</p> </blockquote>http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7916095353http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7916095353Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:53:12 -0400one of my favouritesangel corellaballetpaloma herreradon quixoteamerican ballet theatre<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lonpmtjFZO1qhenkso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Twyla Tharp’s <em>In The Upper Room</em>.</p>http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7863485580http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7863485580Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:06:29 -0400the national ballet of canadaaleksandar antonijevictwyla tharpin the upper roomballetdancephotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loiy9q7rP71qhenkso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7758171643http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7758171643Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:25:02 -0400marijn rademakersue jin kangstuttgartballetdancela dame aux caméliasthe lady of the camelliasphotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_logqaau8Ik1qhenkso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7714861246http://petitsaut.tumblr.com/post/7714861246Sun, 17 Jul 2011 01:37:00 -0400mathieu ganioballetdancephotographyparisballet de l'opéra national de parisemeralds
