    Well I guess that, as with many gestures in ballet, they are exaggerated so that the people up in the cheap seats can see them too!

    I am seeing her tonight which is why I am holding off writing more....I am sure it will be very different from Alina's interpretation last night. How beautiful it was, so I am very much looking forward to Maria A. tonight!

    I don't think anyone here has 'lodged accusations of unethical behaviours.' And if any jury members recuse themselves, this should be made known to avoid just such speculation.

    I was in the stalls and McCormick's Bluebird was marvellous. Very high elevation to his jumps, beautiful battements, and perfectly placed turns. I was very impressed with him, and can see why he is an Emerging Dancer finalist.

    I agree Bruce. A wonderful evening!

    Having seen many of the finalists dance tonight I would hate to have to choose between them!

    That makes sense, Lindsay, you are probably right. If only you'd had a camera!

    I have asked the photographer and he says that either the light is shining on the tights to make them look lighter than they are in the photo (Siegfried wears dark grey tights), or that's someone else and Matthew is completely obscured by Natalia's body....but it is definitely him to whom the thumbs-up is directed!

    Can you enlarge the photo? That would help!

    He's standing in the opposite wing....you can just make out his legs behind her right arm.

    Yes I know joint won, but still won. Not 'presumably'....if you are on the jury, you vote.

    Thanks Ruth....I also have that DVD, but just wanted to send a link. Anyway, I have sorted it now.

    Does anybody know if there is some way I can get a link to the final 10 minutes of the Dowell Swan Lake? I have looked on YouTube but all there is is a brief clip discussing Act 4 (Kish, Yanowsky, Avis, Westcombe). A friend of mine went to SL last night and we were discussing the ending earlier. I was telling her about the apotheosis, and she would love to see it to compare it with last night. Many thanks!

    And the boyfriend won.....

    I just adore this photo of Natalia Osipova giving Matthew Ball the thumbs up just before the Act 3 pdd. You can just about see him in the opposite wing. Fabulous! With thanks to Andre Uspenski.

    How wonderful that you are still writing, Ivy Lin. I am so pleased that you have found the strength to follow your passion instead of conceding to ignorance and stupidity. Please keep it up....you write so vividly and you are a very important link to what is going on across the pond. Thank you.

    Good pun there, Pulcinella! 😜

    Wow....many congratulations, Arucaria!! I hope it is a wonderful experience for you. Please let us know how you get on!

    At least we will be able to turn the sound down....but I think I would probably skip to the last piece anyway!!

    Awww poor diddums. Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread, and once I start..... 😠

    What are the poor, hard done by tube drivers striking about this time?
  22. Sim
    I will be at the barricades with you, 2P! How I would have loved to see him and Delia dance R&J at Sadler's Wells! 😢

    One last post ....

    Sim replied to Kat09's topic in Doing Dance

    Dear Kat, Your daughter is a very brave young lady, and so are you and your family for being such good support to her and for sharing her pain. I do hope that she gets better very soon, and that going forward she will thrive and be happy and healthy. Please pop in from time to time and let us know how she (and you) are getting on. Very best of everything to you, your amazing girl, and your whole family. Sim xx
