I never liked ballet until I discovered Sara. She made me a fan. I forget all my worries when I watch her.

Sara Mearns is different. She takes you into an emotional journey already on the interviews. Before I saw her on stage I could not understand what the hack was supposed to be so special about her. When I finally saw her on stage I was speechless. She created a magnetic field, almost like smoking opium...and you would wake up brutally at the end of the piece with the audience clapping. A truly unique experience watching her perform. She is like out of a David Lynch movie.

Mearns hunches her shoulders. I feel that her upper body just is not the unstrained arched beauty of many non-Balanchine dancers of a certain elegant, effortless suppleness of arms and back. Balanchine arms and hands, for me, do not compare to the Russian school and the other languid ballet dancers of a certain rich, flowing, and effortless quality of balletic movement. I think Gelsey Kirkland left New York City ballet so that she could indeed train her body into that more honed, drawn out style of port de bras and between-step transitions that Russian greats such as Natalia Markova whom Kirkland idolized did to superlative effect. I think Mearns as a young girl had better feet and a certain easeful quality that she as an adult dancer -for me - doesnt have. The feet of some Balanchine dancers I find unaesthetic and stiff and not well-arched. I wonder if the pointe shoes that New York City Ballet dancers wear has anything to do with that.

Brenda Anne Du Faur it very well could be the freed brand of shoe that could be causing the feet. The amount of athletic work that is needed from the dancers in SAB and NYCB could be adding to the more muscular frames on the women. Ballet expects another level of athleticism that matches what a lot of the male dancers were always required in the past. My current ballet school calls the SAB fingers "monster fingers" because they do tend to be more stiffly in place. It's all personal preference of whatever director may be in charge. That's what is so beautiful about having many companies around the world- a little something for everyone.😊

@@ahoward9198 What is not true? She is square as a wardrobe, no waist, torso of a colonei., short and stocky, with right eye much lower than her left eye ( cranial deformity) and swollen saliva glands of an experienced bulimic. This is my personal opinion based on her videos. You need to recalibrate your sense of beauty.
