...romantic couple's incompatibility appears to be more his fault than hers. Mouis is a fine, precise dancer with exquisite balance and an engaging flair for comedic flirtation. Her Kitri-Dulcinea is a model of girlish exuberance and mischief, quick in her pirouettes and unquiveringly exact in her arabesques...
