Derek is about 16 now. He is stunning to watch dance in person and very humble. He has perfected his craft over the years but was alway naturally talented. My 17 year old daughter loves him! And I love his parents . . . good people.
Funny that you say that, he's actually already quite a bit of a star, his name is Derek Dunn and he's with the Houston Ballet. He's probably one of the best young dancers you'll ever see!
hondo mullerD what happen to the tall one he seem to have the size. and masculine style. good height on his jump as well? bit more power. and he could work in some of the new style modern ballets.

turn out is "amazing"... all forced though and making sickles especially devant and also lifting their hips not keeping level hip placement. Forced turn out is shown in the allegro with parallel beats. There Grande Jete deviant leg looks like the battement it too high so makes their body go weird... though nice dancing and they are pretty good :)
