Lovely. At least NYCB is trying to impress us with beauty, unlike ABT which has just announced Ivan Vasiliev as principal dancer who will dance through 2013 season and tour with the company. Now I'm nauseous thinking Vasiliev/ Osipova billing in Swan Lake. Nevermind short clips on yt of Osipova as Odette were embarrassingly craptastic, and nevermind Vasiliev shouldn't even be allowed anywhere in the vicinity of Siegfried's costume. McKenzie seems hellbent on turning ABT into circus freak show with acrobats and gymnasts as star attractions. It hurts my heart to think a new generation of impressionable fans and students are taught to appalud this type of tackiest and most bombastic representations of Russian ballet. Kevin, why did you have to choose the two most acrobatic Russians to come out of circus school in recent memory? If you have to have foreign dancers, who in all fairness are big part of ABT's history, why didn't you consider many other find options out there?

You said it, Genna. I just moved a copy of your comment to the post above regarding the addition of Vasiliev.
