    Sarah Lamb is truly a beautiful ballerina, but somehow I don't feel that Rubies is suiting her, she looks so delicate and soft... The technique is perfectly executed but the spirit is not here for me. Steven Mc Rae on the other hand gets the style easily in my opinion. Seduction and a bit of snobbish (in a good way).
