This was my suggestion, so thank you so much for more of Iana! She has that amazing signature coda move of doing single-triple-double fouettes (so she out-Gillians Gillian Murphy, who has that famous Black Swan video) yet she is elegance itself in the Duato choreography for Aurora. She even does Balanchine well. Love her, love her, love her. She deserves more international recognition.
“Ukrainian ballet dancer Iana Salenko was born in Kiev and trained at the Pisarev Ballet School, Donetsk, graduating in 2000. She was a member of Donetsk Ballet 2000-02 before joining Kiev Opera Ballet as a principal. She joined the Berlin State Ballet in 2005 as a demi-soloist, promoted to soloist in 2006 and principal in 2007. Her roles in Berlin have included Vladimir Malakhov’s Cinderella and Princess Aurora, Marie (Patrice Bart’s The Nutcracker), Olga (John Cranko’s Onegin), Tchaikovsky Pas de deux, Peter Schaufuss’s Sylphide and Cranko’s Juliet. Her many awards include first prizes at the International Ballet Competitions in Helsinki and Nagoya in 2005.” (roh.org.uk)
