B&B579 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wow! I saw one of the performances while they were in Montreal. It was beautiful. Act II was incredible. Link to post

Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted March 2, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks, love my dancers. That link worked last night when I posted it, but it must have been removed by the Montreal Gazette today. Link to post
Arizona Native Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Here's the link to the Montreal Gazette. Link to post
dancemomCA Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wow - that is interesting indeed!!! I was disappointed that I wasn't able to travel to Montreal for the performance of Giselle...I did hear endless praise for the company and the show. And, I guess it's a risk the Cuban Ballet takes each time it tours other countries. Link to post
gogators Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 You have to wonder if the Cuba Nat'l Ballet will even consider touring again outside of their country in the future. Seems like they have a few defections every time they go abroad (according to thee newpaper article). Link to post

preciouspirouette Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thank you, lovemydancers for the link! Very interesting article. I wish the dancers well! Link to post
preciouspirouette Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Such a sad story! In my opinion, Cook should have spent more time behind bars. Drunk driving is extremely dangerous and not only did he kill Elena, he put many other lives in danger. My thoughts and prayers go out to Elena's family in such a tragic time. Link to post
gav Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 NBoC could probably use another male principal... Link to post
lovemydancers Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Streaming video of the trial was available online. Cook's demeanor during the trial was disgusting--he showed no remorse or recognition of anyone other than himself whatsoever. Link to post
dcns Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Such a sad story. He should be in jail longer. My heart breaks for the family and friends. Link to post
