étoile vs. principal

edit

There is an incorrect blending of étoiles and principal dancers in the following:

"... he (Nureyev) formed and named a whole generation of young principals ("Étoiles"), called the Nureyev Babies...."

A dancer need not be a principal to be annointed étoile, and Sylvie Guillem was not. — Robert Greer (talk) 13:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
