      Second that!!! Somehow I feel like the interviewer is not fit for interviewing an artist. She lacks that "going with the flow", being able to feel all the feels, and being versatile enough to follow whatever the conversation may unfold. It literally feels like an interview with some business figure. She just jumped from one question to the next, and wanted to get the answer out. It was apparent that Isabella was not at ease or at her most comfortable.

      Agree- also the fact that she told her at the end of the interview. Damn. Oh and this whole interview made me feel like the ballerina was uncomfortable throughout.

    That was not Aurora! What a disgrace to a so called professional media... (For the first ballet clip) It's Diamond Fairy (take note). However overall lovely video minus the error and bam perfect. :D Question about the reporter: How could she mistake that as Aurora if she was a dancer? Along with a few other rude remarks.

    Marriage isn't the only way to have a personal life. I feel like the interviewer doesn't understand dance.

      When you dance in a company, the principal position is the highest position you can reach as a ballerina.

      ABT has the UGLY standard. Or at least the company Board Members do. They would rather push this one with the limp wrists and claw hands over truly beautiful dancers like Sarah Lane, Christine Shevchenko or Skylar Brandt.

      Kerry Takashi I know very little about ballet, but based on your comments, I am paying a lot more attention to her hand movements which are different. Why is it that even dance is ruled by “who you know”.? Who should be the principal and why? I am trying to learn as much as I can.
