I LOVE Julie Kent, Gillian Murphy, Melanie Hamrick, Paloma Herrera, and a girl at my studio who is my role model/hero. They are all so beautiful, amazing, and inspiring!

Personally I love Sarah Lamb who recently left the Boston Ballet to join the Royal Ballet. She is one of only a few americans admitted! Her most beautiful performance was, for me, Lady of the Camellias during her death scene. If I ever visit london I am definitely going to watch her perform!

Who is your favorite dancer??? I'd probably have to say Maria Kowroki, followed closely by Julie Kent and Paloma!! what about you?

I recently met Barette Vance of Pennsylvania Ballet. She is a BEAUTIFUL dancer and is even prettier in person. I think she's corps or an apprentice but I couldn't take my eyes off of her!

It's a hard decision, but I really like Margot Fonteyn. And Paloma Herrera. And Alessandra Ferri. And...nevermind. I have too many!

One of my favorite dancers are Maria Kowroki. She has a nice extensions and nice body.

My favorite boy dancer is mikhail baryshnikov. no competition between him. Even if hes short he has such strong leg muscles.

 

[RainDancer]

that's a hard question, but I guess I'd have to say Svetlana Zakharova is my favorite!

[aletheia146]

I'm always looking for tapes of dancers I haven't seen yet - my collection is still very limited But Paloma Herrera is amazing, Barishnikov and Makarova were great, Angel Corella is awesome, and I recently got a DVD of Sleeping Beauty of Viviana Durante that was very impressive. Does anyone know how tall she is? She looked really small. But definitely a great dancer.

Viviana Durante was an instructor at my daughter's Masterclass this summer. She is 5'2" tall, the same as my daughter.
