    Samantha Raine is a wonderful coach, very demanding but yet very simple in her approach.

    I am sorry but I confirm what I say : she gives the impression to be effective but she is not to my eyes an interesting coach.

    Yes she can give the impression that she is effective as a coach !

    I was not impressed at all by Leanne Benjamin as a coach. It's the first time I see a ballet master giving a kiss to a dancer to congratulate him straight after his prestation ! Not exactly what I expect from a coach.... 😀 Great presentation from Leanne Cope.

    after Cesar Corrales and Vadim Muntagirov, Tamara Rojo is preparing the talented Daniel McCormick for the Royal Ballet

    Concerning Raymonda, Sarah Lamb and Vadim Muntagirov were excellent. To my opinion the problem is more the casting of some of the female variations. We can understand that Kevin O'Hare has to cast his first soloists but Melissa Hamilton was ill at ease, Itziar Mendizabal seemed miscast, Yuhui Choe was doing the job as always but she did not seemed to be completely into it. Only Mayara Magri was on top form. The trio was very good too. I really think Mr O'Hare should cast other dancers more suited to those tricky variations. Enigma Variations wonderful, Laura Morera a beautiful artist, what a joy to see her on stage.

    Is it the right bio in the programme for Alfreda Thorogood ? It seems more the one of Viviana Durante to me...

    So sorry for Steven McRae When we think Reece Clarke was not among the dancers promoted last Summer... Hello Mr O'Hare ??? He should be promoted after yesterday evening.... I really don't understand this policy as Reece Clarke gets more roles than the new first soloist....

    I was there yesterday and I must say I did not like the show AT ALL. Main problem is for me the lack of chemistry between the two leading dancers. This Romeo is too young and too feminine for this Juliet. Impossible to believe in their love. They had absolutely no connection anyway. On top of that I found the choreography very basic and some of the dancers looked like students (I know some of them are but it's not something I notice when I go to see the second company of Hofesh Shechter). Some of them were very weak technically and very OTT in their interpretation. Audience loved it....

    and the other woman might be Maria Teresa del Real

    Yes Happy Turk there is 😊

    Thiago Soares is back ? And pity about Reece Clarke, he was so promising a few seasons ago in Sleeping Beauty ! He should get the oportunities now or go into another company ! It does not make sense to me when you see some of the principals...
  16. MAX
    and what about the new first soloist ? Luca Acri is not cast in anything ?
  17. MAX
    It seems so !

    No promotions at ENB this year ???
  19. MAX
    Thank you Bruce for your answer. I understand your admiration, such courage !

    Wait.... I think I have missed something there ! Did Stéphane Bullion talked openly and publicly about his cancer ?

    It is certainly very difficult to be a moderator, I would not like to be in your place that's for sure. Moderators certainly have to be strict but they have to be welcoming and encouraging as well ! It was not case the other day with Naomi, we all know it.... In France we have the example of a ballet forum where the moderator is very/too strict... The result is now very simple : after a huge success during years people are now kind of "scared" to participate, which is a real pity. Some days there are no posts anymore... Here the way the forum is organized is very different and it's a pleasure to come and read it.

    yes wonderful moderation as naomi wants now to stop posting here....
  24. MAX
    I don't agree at all ! I think that someone, as a moderator, should be glad that people are posting (from the other side of the world ) to give some news and not tell them how they should present their text. But I stop losing my time to write about things that have absolutely no importance.
  25. MAX
    I think it would be better to say thank you to Jenny Taylor to give us some informations about a performance... It is not difficult to understand who is being discussed with the complete text of NaomiM !
