Guest dyingswan Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'm from Canada, so My favorite dancer is Karen Kain, she has Amazing strength, and I love Julie Kents style too, Quote Link to post
Goldenhuny06 Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 My favorite dancers are Polina Semionova and Misty Copeland Quote Link to post
DreadPirateRoberts Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Like you, Goldenhuny06 I'm rooting for Misty Copeland -- what an amazing young woman... But my favorite dancers, of all time? Hmmm -- well, right now I'd say Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov... But Julie Kent... ah, she's really special... I give up -- I can't choose Quote Link to post
Guest Lovebird Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Lynn Seymour, there is quite simply no one like her. Quote Link to post
Guest BattementCloche Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Most definitely Karen Kain, "Canada's Sweetheart" (does anyone know who said that? I can't remember...). Has anyone outside of Canada seen Karen Kain perform/ know who she is? She's the one ballerina everyone thinks about here (along with Evelyn Hart), but she is seemingly less well known outside of Canada. Quote Link to post
silvy Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 BattementCloche Yes, I do know who Karen Kain is - though I have never seen her live- only in video. I once saw her Swanhilda (Roland Petit's version) and she was charming - I fell in love with her dancing instantly I also like her Florine in Nureyev's version of "Sleeping Beauty" - beautiful legs, and line.

Guest alescna Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Julie Kent and Gillian Murphy!.. although i saw a clip with Polina Semionova and she was pretty good too.. i think in a few yrs time, when she's in her prime, then we'll really see good stuff from her Quote Link to post
Guest dancer522 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I really love Larissa Ponomarenko and Pollyana Ribeiro. (both from Boston Ballet) because Larissa Ponomarenko is just flawless whenever she performs and Pollyana Ribeiro is great to watch but it also an excellent dancer. Quote Link to post
Guest nutmegger06069 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 there are so many amazing dancers i admire but my favorites would have to be wendy whelan, sylvie guilliem, and paloma harrera Quote Link to post
balletstar811 Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yulia Makhalina Quote Link to post
EmilyPdancer Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 My favorite dancer is Anna Povlova. She literally anced untill her dying day, and she had great ambition. She brought ballet to America, and many other places. So, Anna Povlova is my favorite dancer. Quote Link to post
Guest littlegelsey7 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) I have a lot of favorites but Gelsey Kirkland is the best. Someone once called me little gelsey and ever since i have thought she is awesome. i also love suzanne farrell (sp?) Maria Kowroski, and Merrill ashley (i have her autograph!) and Julie Kent and lots more. I love Laura Bowman in PA ballet too cause she went to my studio. But Gelsey is the best!
