i disagree strongly...

i am a tall ballet dancer and i hate that ppl discriminate that and decide what giselle should look like. she does a beautiful job and i dont think her height should matter.

[illicitxlies]

height isnt that important when your dancing. that's one of the most ignorant statements i've ever encountered.

[loulie1997]

Wow! She was a beautiful Giselle! She looks the part, she acts the part, and i really felt her sadness and her love. Not the best i've ever seen, but very close. And might i just add the costumes are awesome!

Going to see her next month! 

[smolinka1980]

i am viola player - have to play that on next week ))) beautiful viola is playing here, and dancers are very good, does not metter anything, just has to be beautiful.

@taytayballet I totally agree with you!

[ballet81895]

She looks just like I imagine the romantic dancers would have when Giselle was first danced.

If this is the 19th Century then let me live then

irina is probably the most passionate dancer on the scene today...her emotion is sooooo powerful and i find that makes her talent true... she lives for the love of dance not just for the skill of it

[malfada22]

Who gives a hoot. If she is 7 feet tall, so

what, she is fantatic.

[iloveballet66]

that scenery is really cool
