Victoria Leigh Report post 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. Share this post Link to post

dancemomCA Report post 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. Share this post Link to post
gogators Report post 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). Share this post Link to post

preciouspirouette Report post 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.

lovemydancers Report post 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. Share this post Link to post
dcns Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Such a sad story. He should be in jail longer. My heart breaks for the family and friends. Share this post Link to post
