THE SHIP MEME
* Day 15 - What is your favorite real life pairing?
Tamara Rojo/Carlos Acosta
Royal Ballet
Sure, they are not together that way, but they are perfect. They have a chemistry on stage that I bet the russians have nightmares to. They are so into each other, so in tune that they move flawlessly together. They are the best couple of their generation, she with her stunning grace and he with his precise strength. They complete each other. When they dance with other people - and by other people I mean stunningly good dancers like Marianela Nuñez or Jose Manuel Carreño - they are just not there. I am a confessed fan of Ethan and Gillian, but these 2 are just something else. They are inspiring! They can shake you to the ground, they can move you to tears and smiles in the same piece. When they are together magic literally takes place on the stage.
