Sorry ,little mistake........
Не несколько лет, а всего один сезон

Возможно, была неточность в статье, которую я читала, или я не так запомнила. Там было указано, что Алина успела протанцевать в Киеве несколько ведущих партий. Или она танцевала в театре, находясь еще в училище?

I went on with it and after six years at school, I started to participate in competitions, in Moscow and in Lausanne. In Lausanne I won a two-year scholarship to a ballet school. I took the Royal Ballet School. It wasn’t my own decision, because in Kiev we didn’t have much of a chance to find out about other ballet schools. Yet, someone advised me to try the Royal Ballet School.

Without having finished school in Kiev I went to London. It was a great experience working at the Royal Ballet School, especially with people like Lesley Collier and I really learned a lot there. After six months they moved me up to the second year, but then I received an invitation from the Kiev Ballet to join the company as a principal dancer.

I said : “I’m going to Kiev!” [laughing] when at the same time Anthony Dowell offered me a contract at the Royal Ballet to dance in the corps de ballet. Again, it was a difficult decision. I didn’t know what to do at first. As you will understand I had to choose between London and Russia, and for many people the choice would have been very obvious. Eventually, my family left me decide for myself and promised to support me in whatever way I chose. So, I decided to go back to Kiev.

Да, я тоже читала, что ей сначала предложили в Лондоне танцевать в кордебалете, но довольно скоро стали давать ведущие роли.

Мне кажется, что у некоторых форумчан немножко (совсем чуть-чуть ) предвзятое мнение обо всех, кто не МТ.

Спасибо за рассказ о Бассел. Я видела её с Зеленским в Мариинском театре несколько лет назад, но она танцевала Никию, и большого впечатления на меня не произвела.

( досадуя) да ведь нет сейчас в Киров-балле никаких "великолепных мальчиков"!
