The following just in. I find it particularly interesting that the only Mariinsky dancer to receive a nomination is young Alexander Sergeev, graduate of 2005 & student of Gennadi Selyutski. Remember who spotted him first, as Espada at last year's Mariinsky Festival? (wink) He also impressed as one of the leading men in Forsythe's 'In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated,' in London.
