Tamara Rojo and Yoel Carreño - Don Quijote Pas de Deux

[yonjooheero]

Tamara Rojo literally killed me with that performance. I've never really been impressed with her dancing, but this pdd proved me wrong. That balance starting around 3:40 was phenomenal. GAAAH, how I wish one day I'll be like her too!

are u serious! wow

[manderson610]

WOW again. She has a beautiful figure, gorgeous feet, crazy balance, and incredible fouettes. The more I watch this, the more I fall in love with her.

[manderson610]

WHOA, those balances...ridiculous!!!

[tedsler]

I have seen her do fouettés plenty of times but i have never seen this version when she changes her spot AND does doubles as well. Love Tamara, she is such a beautiful dancer. Great technician BUT she also has an amazing acting ability!

Thanks for posting :)

so dark...

Yes, what's so nice about Tamara's dancing is that although she can do tricks better than anyone, that's not the sum total of her artistry. Unfortunately lots of the Cuban women (especially Viengsay Valdes) seem to be stuck in the mugging-to-the-audience while performing some trick (at the expense of line) mode. The incredible Cuban men, including Carreno, seem to possess more refined technique than the women -- not sure why.

Tamara Rojo is one of, if not the best dancer in the entire world.

In my opinion she's better than Alessandra Ferri by alot as far as the technique goes.

Great balances, turns, and gorgeous arms.

I saw a documentary about the trip to Cuba and Rojo's partner didn't turn up till the day of the performance, so they only had an hour's rehearsal together, and she was uncertain about doing it at all, so that would be why she's a bit hesitant in places. Still gorgeous though - her line is beautiful

tamara is a gorgeous dancer. Those balances were really impressive and the fouettes really controlled besides her beautiful artistry.

Carreño, I love him <3 as a man and as a dancer. He's is THE dancer. He's totally amazing.

It was 96 degrees F and the humidity I am sure over 75 , one half hour rehersall and a few other obsticals , Tamara gave dust to all those who try and flaw her

[Fuzooky]

Didnt they only have 30 mins to rehearse this together? Wow its amazing! The Royal Ballet in Cuba was on TV the other day and it said that, because he couldnt make it earlier! wow!

[BoBence911]

tamara is SICK! soo amazing

[Cumbresborrascosas1]

Sin trampa, ahí queda eso

[eulacarlo]

she's perfect!

[Leonnidik]

Flawlessly spectacular. I wish she had more FUN with it. Too reserved especially for a Gala honoring that goddess Alonso.

[emmsteemmastewart]

wow! those balances and fouettes were amazing!! am in shock!!

[gscot76]

Can watch her just do balances and fouettés all day long! But is nice that in reviews, the mention her acting and artistry as her most impressive quality--she isn't just tricks.

[disneychickoobleck32]

what an intense balance

[katiekfitz]

you're an intense balance

[kreulparis]

Epoustouflant ! si Tamara ne démérite pas, la performance de Yoël (la première diagonale) est extraordinaire ! et quel partenaire !

Chapeau bas

[gf1721]

Awesome! I'm only halfway through and it's fantastic! Thank you for filming this, they dance beautifully together. I only hope Cuba's ballet make it over to England next year and we can see what they have in store for us!

They will in perform at the London Coliseum April/May 2010 with Swan Lake and a mixed program. Tickets may be already available, visit the ENO website.
