Love her tutu...and her dark hair makes her look the part of Odile too! Beautiful turns and feet!
-
@balletnut Her rival is probably Cojocaru. That girl has 0 gravity.
-
@balletnut She's not my favorite, either, but unlike Marianela Nunez, she captures that dark side of Odile instead of smiling all through each of her performances like Odile was a happy-go-lucky character (which she was not). I can connect with Tamara more than I can connect with Marianela..

That's one amazing tutu

i love the tutu<3 and she is beautiful
-
I love how she ends the entrée to the pas de deux, Makarova-style, with a deep back to the audience in the Prince's arms. To me it's less the decorative and more dramatically meaningful. Rojo is like a latter-day American ballerina Cynthia Gregory - rock solid turns, plumbline balances, definitely a terre-a-terre dancer (not a jumper), with even more beautiful feet.

I actually don't like Swan Lake, but Tamara Rojo is always awesome. I love her.

@ sashakeft1 - I'm in total agreement with you, I ADORE her Juliet. I was lucky enough to see that live (with Acosta) at Cov. Gdn.
I also ABSOLUTELY LOVE her in 'Manon' (again with Acosta).

@balletnut I agree with you, she's not the best Odile, but I absolutely LOVE her as Juliet!
She's not my favourite Odile either, but Tamara is definitely my favourite dancer. With balance like that and the fact that it's Tamara, I could forgive her anything. Her balance is unequalled.

I have to say she isn't my favorite "Odile" however she is so amazingly beautiful it's hard not to love her in any role she dances! Thanks for posting!
