Upcoming performances by Alina with The Royal Ballet include roles in La Sylphide and A Month in the Country.
Congratulations! Alina. You are so fabulous! cannot wait to see you in La Sylphide!
Congratulations Alina! We are very proud of you!
Congratulatiions Alina. You are my very favorite of all favorite ballet dancers!
Congratulations to Ms. Cojocaru! Wouldn't it be lovely if the Company got this ballet so we could see her in it.
I have really two very favorite balerinas,Alina Cojocauro and Evgenia Obratzsova of The Boshoi Ballet,can`t make up my mind wich one I like,both are soi beautyful and so musical,very lyrical and so poetical in style and gracefulness that it`s hard to tell them apart when the both dance even though, these two wonderful ladies are so very different in personality,one is more outgoing than the other. "I wish them both great sucess for many years to come,now I omly wish I could se both these wonderful ballerinas in person someday.
A rather late "Congratulations Alina on getting the Benois Award". you certainly have been my favourite Royal Ballet Principal since I first saw you. I endorse what Terry Cash's comments on 22nd November. I am sorry we shan't see you dance Nikia in tomorrow's performance of "La Bayadere".
