Quintus Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 That 'extra extreme stretching class' her mum referred to at the end clearly paid off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks toursenlair for that post. Ive been following Miko's progress for about a year now and think she is turning into a lovely dancer. I don't mind admitting she's on my Facebook page as one to watch!!! She has a natural grace and ease of style and is still only 16. And the classic roles suit her inspite of her being not bad in contemporary roles either. On one interview somewhere on Youtube she expresses her desire to join the Royal Ballet at some point (dad is or maybe was a Brit) and I really hope she makes it there. She deserves success for what she has given up at such a young age. And also she is fairly level headed and still quite shy inspite of all the competitions she has been put through!!! So glad to see her win Gold at last! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 In case anyone following the progress of the YAGP youngsters in the documentary missed it, scroll about halfway down in this review of a Dance Theater of Harlem bill in Saturday's Links for the latest on Miss DePrince, who appears to be fulfilling her potential: http://www.artsjournal.com/dancebeat/2013/06/a-lark-ascends/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ian - thanks for the link. It's made me hope that DTH will be able to tour to the UK. (Anyone from Dance Consortium reading? Pretty please???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 This plopped through the letterbox a few days ago, and I watched it last night. I spotted the odd dancer I thought I recognised, but on a laptop-size screen it wasn't easy to identify them - can anyone confirm who the dancer representing the UK was, please? And where was Claudia Dean? I saw her name in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriapage Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ian - thanks for the link. It's made me hope that DTH will be able to tour to the UK. (Anyone from Dance Consortium reading? Pretty please???) Oh absolutely! But evidently Michaela De Prince has joined the junior company of Het Nationale Ballet (this according to her Facebook page and a number of other online sources).

Bluebird Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) . I spotted the odd dancer I thought I recognised, but on a laptop-size screen it wasn't easy to identify them - can anyone confirm who the dancer representing the UK was, please? Am I right in thinking that First Position is about the 2010 YAGP? If so, there is a list of the top candidates here: http://www.yagp.org/eng/NY_winners_2010.php, William Bracewell was the winner in 2010. He would have been one of the dancers representing the UK.

barton22 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I believe so. It was definitely the year in which Joan Zamora won his scholarship to the RBS and you can also see Claudia Dean and Sam Zaldivar performing in the movie and they are on your top candidates list.

alison Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 William Bracewell was the winner in 2010. He would have been one of the dancers representing the UK. I thought it probably was him, but the picture was too small to be able to recognise his face (which I'm not as yet overly familiar with) for sure. Thanks, Bluebird.
