Aprés un rêve
Jurgita Dronina...
Is leaving the NBC at the end of this season and will return to Europe for the final chapter of her career. She is one of the most underrated ballerinas dancing today and I'm indebted to her for helping to make Emeralds (the overlooked Jewel) make sense to me. When I discovered Jewels, there was this sense that Emeralds is what you had to endure to see the other two masterpieces. In comparison, Emeralds felt sleepy and pointless, lacking tension or drama. But after watching Jurgita Droning dance the solo variation, imbued with both mystery and joy, a light went off. Emeralds is about the sheer pleasure of dance. The dancer must inhabit the music and movement completely, almost forgetting the audience — and only then it becomes magical! I have seen so many versions of this variation — and honestly slept through quite a few. But hers is incandescent. I'm sure that I've shared this before, but here it is again:
