Reviews
Giselle
“Dronina made clear, however, that this gentle girl loves to dance… with a joyous sense of clarity and purity, her arabesques radiant and her pointe work pin-sharp accurate. It was this gorgeous quality of dancing that made Dronina’s performance in the second act outstanding.”
– Dancing Times on guesting with English National Ballet
The Winter’s Tale
“Hermione (Jurgita Dronina)... stretches a powerfully pure arabesque line from front arm to raised back leg, and then repeatedly turns on the spot in this position, rising again and again, urgently, onto point.”
– The New York Times
La Sylphide
“Dronina is an irresistible performer. She’s more than a vision of Romanticism with her long feet, supple extensions and watery port de bras; there is sensuality in her movement that teeters between the creature and the woman.”
– The Globe and Mail
