Felititations.

There is no real 'solo' for the ballerina in Le Corsaire, the pas-de-deux. It's up to the individual ballerina involved what she actually dances. I've seen about six different versions of the ballerina solo. Ms Olson is dancing the Queen of the Dryads from Don Q, as did Margot Fonteyn. Often dancers will use Gamzatti's variation from La Bayadere. It's not written in stone.

I posted before I saw the solos and the coda.

WOW!!

There are professional dancers where I'm from who can't dance like that.

This is SO impressive for a youth company!! I'm jealous!!

I just wonder why both the tarkett strips and the tutu are so small. You can tell you're good when they're my complaints about the performance!
