I dream i can't sleep

Another compilation of responses to “opinion” requests. Thank you for asking.

Olesya Bocharova

To be honest, I have seen precious little of her performing. From what I have seen, she is pretty confident, has a good stage presence, is expressive and upbeat.

Marina Pak

Pak is interesting and definitely worth watching, though I don’t have much more to say about her. Her technique is pretty clean and she has a good feel for the music. She can also tackle character dance and be quite expressive, as she did great in “The Nutcracker” (Spanish Dance) last year.

Anton Korsakov

He isn’t my cup of tea, though he a great stage presence and is an excellent actor. I prefer danseurs who are either lyrical (Tsiskaridze), dark and sensual (Ruzimatov), or bright and energetic (Vasiliev). Korsakov just doesn’t have the technique, the power or the “punch” that I look for in a danseur. I should point out, however, that Anton is a prizewinning danseur who is well-respected in the ballet community, so my personal opinion or preference is just that - personal.
