Circuit Breaker struggles to stifle his powers after the Flash of Earth-11 leaps out of the time stream and knocks them both into another dimension. Just how far would Flashlight go to honor his lost love? Discover all these stories and many more in DC Pride 2023!

Which famous dancers do you consider to be short, average, or tall?

Short (under 5’6): Skylar Brandt, Misty Copeland, Evgenia Obratsova, Nina Kaptsova, Alina Cojocaru, Natalia Makarova, Ektaterina Krysanova, Tiler Peck, Maria Kochetkova, Iana Salenko, Osipova

Average (not too small or tall): Maria Alexandrova, Nela, Olesya Novikova, Diana Vishneva, Polina Semionova, Viktoria Tereshkina, Maria Khoreva

Tall (over 5’7): Zakharova, Ekaterina Shipulina, Lopatkina, Olga Smirnova, Alina Somova, Isabella Boylston

5'6" (167cm) is the average height, particularly in Europe. It's also quite common here for companies to post a minimum requirement of 165cm for women- certainly not always followed though. I think the bar for being a 'short' dancer needs to be dancers under that minimum.

Short (under 5’4 / 165): Skylar Brandt, Misty Copeland, Evgenia Obratsova, Alina Cojocaru, Natalia Makarova, Tiler Peck, Maria Kochetkova, Iana Salenko, Natalia Osipova

Average (5'5-6"/ 167) Maria Alexandrova, Marianela Nunez, Diana Vishneva, Ekaterina Krysanova, Nina Kaptsova

Tall (5’7+ / 170+): Viktoria Tereshkina (I think she's just 170, looking at pictures with her and Vishenva) Svetlana Zakharova, Ekaterina Shipulina, Ulyana Lopatkina, Olga Smirnova, Alina Somova, Olesya Novikova, Isabella Boylston, Polina Semionova (definitely over 170), Maria Khoreva (also right about 170)

Which dancers are religious? Here is what I know so far:

Zakharova is an outspoken Orthodox Christian, she crossed herself before doing an SB show, posts about holy days and she said in an interview along the lines of “God help me” with a prayer gesture when she mentioned the quick changes for La Dame Aux Camellias.

Vishneva is also an outspoken Orthodox, she got baptized and had her son baptized too.

Obraztsova posts on holy days and mentioned baptizing her twin girls.

Smirnova had her wedding in a church, I think she said something about how her family wasn’t religious but now she believes in God. She also I think wears cross necklaces too and she mentioned how her conscience led her to denounce the war, so I definitely think she’s implicitly Orthodox Christian as well. If you want to see the full interview, it’s on the Bolshoi YouTube channel.

Osipova-had an icon of Mary and Jesus in her dressing room, wears cross necklaces sometimes, has said that the stage was like a church.

Lopatkina was known to cross herself before shows and Somova has posted on holy days/attended church.

Catholic-Nicoletta Manni and Timofej Andreshenko(sp?) of La Scala had a wedding Mass in a church.

I also think Marianela Nunez is Catholic too, she wore a cross necklace to a rehearsal, she posted a cat nativity, and has a childhood picture of her brothers with rosaries.

Jewish-Maya Plisetskaya was subject to antisemitism in the USSR, and Skylar Brandt of ABT has a grandfather who survived the Holocaust. The current head of SAB, Dena Abergel is an Orthodox Jew and I think asked Martins to not have rehearsals on Saturdays.

Christian-Joy Womack, Jenny Ringer

Thank you for this information(?) I’m not sure what to do about this information though 😅

If it helps them in their lives, then I’m happy for them.

Asked and Answered: An assortment of long overdue answers

dance-like-matty asked: that mayerling livestream😬……..

To be honest I haven’t watched it yet. It’s not a favourite ballet, and to sit through it in-person with my favourite cast was hard enough...

do you know anything about how nikisha fogo is doing in sf?

She was out for almost a year with an injury. SFO aren’t as public with their recordings and castings so it’s hard to know how well she’s doing. 

have you seen skylar brandts rose adagio? her balance is insane

link for it

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLyIah8HPMK/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

what are your thoughts on her? i personally saw her kitri and i had no complaints. great technique and character, her principal title is well deserved IMO, heard her giselle was out of this world too. i don’t understand why people say she isn’t deserving of her principal title just because her parents have money and are donors to ABT. The talent is definitely there and she made her way through the ranks for over 10 years.

Yes I think she’s a great dancer and I think she should be at a better company. 

Nepotism can lead to very underserving people getting promoted ahead of themselves, which is why so many are quick to dismiss anyone who benefits in that way. Luckily in Brandt’s case, she does have the talent to back it up. 

why is diana vishneva still listed as a principal if she doesn’t dance with the company anymore (as far as i can tell) ? 

She does still occasionally. 

There’s a lot of politics behind stuff like that in Russia. It isn’t a title she’s just going to give up, and the clout of having her listed is good for them as well. The Mariinsky also frequently leaves people listed as principals for years after they stop dancing. 

hey so what do you think of manon as a ballet? are you. fan? not a fan? choreography, structure? i saw it for the first time recently and idk how i’m feeling about it just yet. just curious! your blog is awesome :)

Manon for me has the best PDD of any ballet I’ve seen. They match the story and emotions perfectly. Many people adore Macmillan’s PDD but find the rest of his ballet’s boring. I understand this criticism. I feel that way about Mayerling. But for me, I can overlook it in Manon. I find the corps scenes well put together, and find Lescaut to provide enough entertainment in other scenes as well. 

what does it mean when something says a vaganova graduate graduated in the 'class of _____'? for instance 'renata shakirova graduated in 2015, class of tatiana udalenkova'.

.... it’s what it says on the tin, I don’t really know how else to explain it? That’s the year she graduated from the Academy. 

What is your favorite cast of Manon? Thinking about buying a DVD of it, but cannot decide between the DuPont/Bolle version or Sarah/Vandream version.

Lamb/Muntagirov all the way. I don’t really rate Bolle.
