I'm so happy for Alexander Khiteeva. This is well-deserved as she has definitely been dancing soloist roles. I do hope she gets more leading parts…but I would also like to see her career develop a bit more methodically, dancing roles that best feature her talents rather than just throwing her out there to see what happens. Now, let's get Svetlana Savelieva more featured roles. Maybe she'll be a coryphee by the season's end? One can hope!
But there are so many talented girls at Mariinsky who never get recognized. Who is someone you've been following who think deserves more roles, recognition? It's hard because I don't have much opportunity to see the corps on you tube…
Now…they need to promote some men!
