ballet.bunny Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I keep discovering more and more dancers that I admire--yay for Youtube!!! I must add Marianela Nunez to my list...her artistry is spectacular, and her technique is amazing. It is especially her artistry that I admire...she dances with her whole body and conveys emotion and meaning with every movement. Quote Link to comment
32_fouettes Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 My favorite dancers are Marianela Nunez and Tamara Rojo. Quote Link to comment
kočička Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Uliana Lopatkina and Alina Cojocaru are my top favourites Quote Link to comment
starlightdreamer Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I REALLY like Maria Kochetkova. The fact that she is so small, only 5', but dances so big is just amazing. I also love Tiler Peck; she inspires me because she joined NYCB at only 15. And Evgenia Obratzova, Katharine Precourt, Melissa Hough, Sara Webb, Alina Somova, and more. Basically I'm saying that I'm obsessed with every dancer out there. Quote Link to comment
Scuballerina Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Marianela Nunez!!!! I like that she is not only dancing the steps, but conveys the emotions through eyes etc brilliantly. Am especially in LOOOOVE with her Odile Quote Link to comment
alexa_cook Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I love Misty Copeland, Julie Kent, Miko Fogarty, and Sara Mearns. Quote Link to comment
Hamorah Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 This is such a long thread that I don't know if I have already mentioned this, but I saw Ekaterina Maximova as Tatiana in Cranko's Onegin with the ENB in London. She was 50 at the time, but danced like a young girl and her acting was just goose-bumpy! She was totally plausible as Tatiana and altogether gave an incredible performance - one that I will always remember. It was truly one of those special experiences that you lock away in a box in your mind and never forget............ Svetlana Beriosova and Baryshnikov are still my absolute favourites though.

maplebunny Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Misty Copeland! She is my inspiration, she only started ballet when she was 12, and is now a professional at ABT! Quote Link to comment
flyingpancake Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I personally love Gillian Murphy, and also (if you've seen that dance movie 'Center Stage') Ethan Stiefel- now an artistic director, who also happens to be Gillians fiance! Quote Link to comment
Apple dancer Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Svetlana Zakharova and Misty Copeland. They are both beautiful and inspiring! Quote Link to comment
Guest Alicia Ding Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd like Darcy Bussell and Anna Pavlova the best. Especially Darcey Bussell. Quote Link to comment

Darcicapointe Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Mine is definitely Svetlana Zakharova. She is flexible, beautiful, and knows how to express herself onstage! Look her up! Edited January 20, 2014 by Victoria Leigh Upper case letters. Quote Link to comment
ArcadianDancer Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think I could write a book about how many dancers I admire/have made me cry. As a huge (and that's an understatement) Nutcracker lover....Baryshnikov and Kirkland. Quote Link to comment
