...sultry and intoxicating, as was her partner, Jaime Diaz. And was there ever a Dew Drop who lived up so greatly to her name as Misa Kuranaga? Backed by a corps de ballet of lanky, tall flowers, the slight Kuranaga seemed to float among them like a drop of mist. Not every performance was as stunning, however. As the Sugar Plum Fairy, Larissa Ponomarenko was very pretty and precise, but a bit too elusive, and her chilled rapport with Roman Rykine as her Cavalier did not help.
