All the mustang dancers whether Russian, Kubain,English, should watch very carefully the accents of the variation. They are perfect.

i LOVE Violette she is probably one of the nicest people ive ever met she cares sooooo much about life and dance. She just has this lightness about her when she enters a room you don't feel intimidated at all and is very eloquent. I loved taking her classes...she still has backwards turnout its crazy!

I couldn't agree more! VAI is bankrupting me, as well, with all of the great old stuff they are coming out with. Cliburn videos are STILL my favorites!

[Benjaminwolf]
