Jane S Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I thought it might be interesting to summarise the results of the main categories in the ballet.co (almost) annual surveys over the years. Nice to see dancers moving from 'promising' to 'best' etc. BEST MALE DANCER 1997 Igor Zelensky 1998 Irek Mukhamedov 1999 Carlos Acosta 2000 Johan Kobborg 2001/2 Johan Kobborg 2003/4 Carlos Acosta 2005 Thomas Lund 2006 Carlos Acosta 2007 Carlos Acosta 2008 Edward Watson 2009 Edward Watson 2010 Ivan Vasiliev BEST FEMALE DANCER 1997 Altinai Asylmuratova/Miyako Yoshida 1998 Viviana Durante 1999 Nina Ananiashvili 2000 Darcey Bussell/Sylvie Guillem/Tamara Rojo 2001/2 Alina Cojocaru 2003/4 Zenaida Yanowsky 2005 Zenaida Yanowsky 2006 Marianela Nunez 2007 Elena Glurjidze 2008 Elena Glurjidze 2009 Tamara Rojo 2010 Natalia Osipova BEST PARTNERSHIP 1997 Durante/Mukhamedov 1998 Durante/Mukhamedov 1999 Durante/Mukhamedov 2000 Guillem/Cope 2001/2 Cojocaru/Kobborg 2003/4 Cojocaru/Kobborg 2005 Cojocaru/Kobborg 2006 Cojocaru/Kobborg 2007 Oaks/Edur 2008 Oaks/Edur 2009 Oaks/Edur and Benjamin/Watson 2010 Osipova/Vasiliev MOST PROMISING DANCER (M) 1997 - 1998 Edward Watson 1999 Yohei Sasaki 2000 Ivan Putrov 2001/2 Ivan Putrov 2003/4 Thiago Soares 2005 Steven McRae 2006 Steven McRae 2007 Steven McRae 2008 Sergei Polunin 2009 Sergei Polunin 2010 Sergei Polunin MOST PROMISING DANCER (F) 1997 - 1998 Mara Galeazzi 1999 Zenaida Yanowsky 2000 Alina Cojocaru 2001/2 Marianela Nunez 2003/4 Lauren Cuthbertson 2005 Sarah Lamb 2006 Lauren Cuthbertson 2007 Yohui Choe 2008 Yohui Choe 2009 Melissa Hamilton 2010 Akane Takada BEST PRODUCTION 1997 Giselle (Mariinsky) 1998 Manon (RB) 1999 Don Quixote (Bolshoi) 2000 Jewels (Mariinsky) 2001/2 Onegin (RB) 2003/4 Mayerling (RB) 2005 Manon (RB) 2006 Bright Stream (Bolshoi) 2007 Jewels(RB) 2008 Manon (ENB) 2009 Mayerling (RB) 2010 Don Quixote (Bolshoi) BEST NEW PRODUCTION 1997 Edward II (BRB) 1998 Babel Index 1999 Sandpaper Ballet (SFB) 2000 Sleeping Beauty (Mariinsky) 2001/2 Tryst (RB) 2003/4 Pharoahs's Daughter (Bolshoi) 2005 La Sylphide (RB) 2006 Chroma and DGV (RB) 2007 The Snow Queen (ENB) 2008 Infra (RB) 2009 Limen (RB) 2010 Invitus/Invitam (RB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That's fascinating, Jane, thank you. Particularly surprised to see that Ed Watson was being picked as "most promising" back as far as 1998 - how perceptive of readers! And I'm sure more of the "most promisings" would have ended up as "best" had the polls kept going longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
