October 2010, Busan performances were the last time for Ji Yeon Ryu to dance as a Mariinsky dancer. Did she give up ballet dancing? She seemed to suffer from back pain. Did she retire? Did she go back to Korea or still live in Saint Petersburg?

Can anyone share news on Ji Yeon, what is happe...

Utterly flamboyant, coquettish, playful, coy, flirtatious. She dances this piece with an extraordinary maturity. At 15, her dancing here, is almost perfect, danced by a true genius. It is only possible for a dancer born with exceptional talent. The dance is almost contemporary, humorous and fun...
