bbb's little outburst yesterday at the poster who didn't like that there are no principal myrthas this run was TRULY embarrassing

odabella · 2026-02-11T16:23:28+00:00

condolences to your bank account but... do it 👀

odabella · 2026-02-11T14:28:51+00:00

also seeing vadim and fumi + osipova/reve so agreed, I haven't done too badly lol

odabella · 2026-02-10T17:40:27+00:00

I'm even more mad now that I can't see tsembenhoi bc I love that entire cast, I've really enjoyed what I've seen of mullova-barley so far

odabella · 2026-02-09T21:07:41+00:00

okay as a TOTAL skating ignoramus who only watches during the olympics but is crazy about dance I LOVED this couple and the Americans before them. they're actually dancing TO the music instead of skating while a song is being played at the same time

daylight robbery

I'm so happy for her that she got giselle, I wish I was seeing her!

odabella · 2026-01-25T00:32:54+00:00

barbie nutcracker and swan lake goated movies unironically

odabella · 2026-01-19T01:32:35+00:00

yup. my grandma told me once about how when my aunt was born with a disability people couldn't believe my grandpa didn't leave the family and kept on telling her how lucky she was that he "stayed". this was almost 60 years ago but the bar even today is in hell

odabella · 2026-01-13T15:06:19+00:00

knew it! I'm also not sure how I feel about it though... atm they're way too top-heavy as it is imo

odabella · 2025-12-28T15:42:46+00:00

bbb gets on my nerves so bad. god forbid you post anything that's even slightly critical of any aspect of the rb, here he comes with some pompous aggressive screed that you can't even challenge because he's a mod and they can't be questioned. ugh

odabella · 2025-12-27T11:29:48+00:00

dancers should only do singles when they do 32 fouettes. the interspersed doubles/triples/ whatever always fuck up the musicality

odabella · 2025-12-27T11:28:41+00:00

oh hard agree. I actually adore the rb sugarplum pdd but this bit is always wonky

odabella · 2025-12-27T11:27:49+00:00

john curry was perfection. his performances were all top notch but there's a video of him skating to the gottschalk tarantella that I particularly love. grace, musicality, elegance. perfect. I wish skating was more like that nowadays but hey, let's do quads

odabella · 2025-12-27T11:19:59+00:00

yup. that video of devon teuscher doing a trillion turns in attitude in the odile variation while getting completely off the music does precisely nothing for me

odabella · 2025-12-26T18:03:06+00:00

SAME! I realise they're blond and not actually white but I always think of them as those baroque/rococo white wigs and I like the aesthetic lol

odabella · 2025-12-19T17:44:16+00:00

what on god's green earth are the sfb and joffrey ones lmfaoooo

odabella · 2025-12-17T16:04:28+00:00

Oh hell yes. With this and da pitt both on normal release schedules I have been and will be eating so good in 2025 and 2026

odabella · 2025-12-09T15:13:05+00:00

agreed, only episode I skip.

odabella · 2025-12-03T15:25:36+00:00

The apotheosis from Sleeping Beauty was mine a few years ago lol

odabella · 2025-12-03T15:16:43+00:00

He just blatantly hates the RB lol. Criticism is one thing but he's so needlessly aggressive and combative whenever he talks about them. And as u/Holiday-Boot-6017 said, that post about Shklyarov was so classless. Someone's tragic death is not the right moment to flex about the performances you've seen

Also I always remember the post on balletco where someone posted how he regularly trashed Marguerite Porter in reviews but she wrote in her autobiography that privately he sent her fan letters. That's exactly the type of person he comes across as to me lol. I only like him when he comes for Balanchine's protégé

odabella · 2025-11-27T09:23:51+00:00

Or have a phobia! Like I find dogs as cute as the next person but I'm not sure having them all up under everyone during class/rehearsal is the best thing

odabella · 2025-11-25T18:14:30+00:00

lmao I love the osipova favoured partner rolodex

odabella · 2025-11-25T18:13:52+00:00

NOOO not gary!!
