Dance NBM Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Although I believe that Vladimir Malakhov might have the most technique out of the bunch, there is a certain innocence and charm that Angel Corella has that really captivates you. He has great stage presence and when he dances there are many dynamic changes, which make him really fun to watch. Ethan Stiefel is amazing too, he is a close second. He is very graceful, but I agree, sometimes he doesn't seem incredibly "solid". I really have not seen enough of Jose Manuel Carreno to judge him. Link to comment
Guest Herrera dancer Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I really admirer Angel Corella because his dancing always looks weightless and joyful. He has great technique and is very expressive. Link to comment
Guest ABT princess Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Definitely Corrella, followed by Steifeld Link to comment
Guest dancing<><piper Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) Definitely Angel Corella!! I have to say that til recently I thought "Angel" was pronounced like the word angel! (i.e. heavenly being) I saw him in Le Corsaire, as the slave, and oh, it was so awesome! I have to say I don't know much about the others but I think I would say him even if I did. And he totally makes it look effortless! P.S. of course it doesn't have anything to do with his dancing but as some of you said he is quite good looking Edited October 11, 2004 by dancing<><piper Link to comment
dancer31220 Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 How do you say "Angel" (Corrella) then??? Link to comment
Guest harmsygirl Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Angel Corrella because he is an amazing dancer and he's pretty cute too. Link to comment

Guest dancing<><piper Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 My teacher said it's pronounced "Anyell." Link to comment
Guest prokofiev Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Malakhov... yummy technique, great presence... mmmm. I agree about Corella's infectious joy, but I'm just such a huge fan of Malakhov's expressive prowess and flawless footwork... Tough poll topic! They're all so different. Prokofiev Link to comment
Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Angel Corella, hands down. He not only performs but is amazing at tricks and everything he does. Link to comment
Guest kittieruby Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was in class with Angel today at Steps. He is just so amazing. All of us girls were gushing! But his dancing, uh! Yes and that smiles is infectious!! Link to comment
Hamorah Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I bought the Born to be Wild DVD and couldn't believe it - I sat watching with my mouth open! I gave it to my boy student and he was in shock at their exceptional technique - hope it didn't put him off! I chose Corella because I liked his personality the most - the sheer joy he shows in his dancing just enraptured me! Technically they're all pretty much of a muchness - all equally brilliant! I'm not crazy about Ethan Stiefel - he's a bit wishy-washy. Malakhov is a bit too cat-like for me ( he reminds me of the Siamese Cats in Disney's 101 Dalmations!) but he is a divine dancer. I thought Carrera was fantastic too, but Angel definitely has the edge. By the way I received a present of the ABT's verson of The Dream with Ethan Stiefel and although he was really good in it, I thought he was completely overshadowed by the guy who danced Puck. I have never seen such ballon! Highly recommended - even though it's a short DVD. Link to comment
elizzy Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I was in class with Angel today at Steps. He is just so amazing. All of us girls were gushing! But his dancing, uh! Yes and that smiles is infectious!! Oh my gosh, kittieruby, you're SO lucky! I saw Angel Corella in Giselle this week and he's my new favorite. He was so incredible! He had amazing technique and stage presence; he looked like he was floating every time he did a grand jete or a cabriole, like he could just choose to come down from the jump whenever he wanted to. I really like Ethan Stiefel as well, so I can't quite decide between the two. Link to comment
NutsaboutBallet Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I like to see passion! The feet, the jumps, etc that is important! But feeling that is genuine and expressed on stage AND CONNECTS TO THE AUDIENCE- That is Jose Manuel Carreño have ! Dancers who that 'certain something' in their stage presence are truly gifted!

Guest DancingDork101 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I would say Angel Corrella is the best out of the group. Angel has so much power and just soars through the air when he jumps. He is also such a amazing turner like the turns he does in "Le Corsaire". Link to comment
