"There was something in the air that night... The stars so bright. Fernando..." I miss Fernando oh-so terribly! As a danseur, he didn't really dance with that purely pyrotechnical bravura. You know, where the dancers are just showing off fancy tricks and all that. Pure skill. Like Peter Martins, Erik Bruhn and Patrick Bissell, the man just... had a way about him. You could just BELIEVE he was royalty. A Prince. He had to be. Of course he was. Pure attitude. --Remembering, Dane Youssef

Yeah thats why its called AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE.

Anyone who's had the good fortune of reading my appraisals on dance knows I hold Natalia in the highest regards. She was the greatest ever to do the form. She just... had the body for it. She had everything for it. She always just happened to have the natural gifts. Damn her... Just... damn her. She was just born with whatever requirement one needed for ballet. The woman WAS ballet. Will there EVER be another? --Still Singing Praises of Natasha, Dane Youssef

@taurusbs and she had just come back from having a baby. I think less then a month afterwards here!

I’m a Makarova-maniac but even I am disappointed that she didn’t take a crack at the fouettes here, since they’re as much a signature part of the choreography as they are in Swan Lake Act Three. There are at least three video recordings on youtube alone of Makarova doing fouettes, all of them as Odile, and ranging in quality from a little shaky, to indifferent, to pretty decent. Too bad she didn’t attempt them here in Don Q.

[@havenization]

I am stumped that someone would call Fernando "yuk" "Yawn "awful". This is ignorance, I was fortunate to have taken class's with both he and Makarova as a teenager . I just cant believe the ignorance that comes crawling out of the youtube woodwork

[@sander075]

She felt not sure enough to do the fouettes?

Макарова так и не научилась крутить фуэтэ, это не главное,конечно. Я помню,когда она совсем молодая в Питере,крутила и крутила и укатила за сцену. Максимова один раз объехала всю сцену, но потом была просто мастером фуэтэ. Лучше всех это делала Тимофеева, но уж больно было похоже на спорт.
