...incredibly high. The lead couples included both principal and corps de ballet dancers. Though each couple was excellent, the refinement and artistry of the principal dancers stood out in contrast--but not in negative oposition to--the raw talent of the corps de ballet dancers. Principal dancer Amanda McKerrow shone in her artistry.
