I like her balances, extensions, and the lifts, but much of this seems out of context of the ballet and the known choreography. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
oldoperafan This is what Alonso used to dance and it is mandatory for all the dancers at Ballet Nacionl, with small changes allowed to somewhat personalize their performance. I personally would like the diagonal of renverses instead of the battements but prefer the arabesques sautees sur le point in the coda.as in this version.
