Thank you, Xandra, for your reply. I totally agree, it makes no sense to compare dancers.
I booked the show too see Yasmine after reading the reviews on here, expecting to see a wonderful young ballerina. (Thank you to all the members of the forum who posted reviews 😊). 30 seconds after she started dancing .. I had a lump in my throat, I was .. mesmerized.
Which, of course, did not happened with every ballerina I had the chance to see, so it was really special.
I did not think one moment of Alina Cojocaru, even if in my eyes she is in an other league, out of this world. But .. this is the subject of another thread.
I must say that I often wonder how subjective I am, given that I am ( as my friend) .. Romanian, and Alina Cojocaru is the very reason why I became passionate about ballet. It was a review written by Katherine Kanter (maybe an old or present member of this forum, I’m not sure) qualifying Alina as a genius in 2002 I think, after a performance of Tatiana, that started all this interest in ballet for me.
