I saw Unity Phelan dance this role this winter. It was ELECTRIC. She’s amazing. And so was Taylor Stanley, her partner. It’s true NYCB has had shorter dancers perform the role, but it was made on Sara Leland, who was not particularly short, as far as I know.

Beautiful! But is something coming into the shot in the upper 2/3rd of the screen later?

I waited . . . but I didn't see anything that would cause me to run out of the room . . . .

I don’t like this dancer in this role. I think she’s too tall or something. (wait for it…)
