MARIANELA MOREOLESS (Walter Battistini) (Dancer) is pretty much, take or give a little one of the best little ballerinas in her social circle. This princess from the Pampas learned to dance on the back of a steer and that’s no bull. Her high flying moves as a rodeo queen made her more or less a cowgirl ballerina that drew crowds from near and far to watch her roping, bumping and grinding technique. Her competition said she was less of a cowgirl and more of a—well… money maker shaker which got her barred from the corral. Her career at the cowgirl circuit more or less took a nosedive and she traded her hat in for a tiara and voila, became Argentina’s first bovine ballerina, and received the coveted Angus prize for Argentina’s best female mooovement innovator. Udderly delightful, Marianela is basically, a large eyed wonder that will still occasionally rope and release at exhibitions much to the chagrin of her ballerina bffs. We would never steer you wrong, Marianela has a triple A rating from the Beef Association.

MAYA N. RUINSKAYA (Kevin Ortiz) (Dancer)'s early career was marred by a vicious pyramid scheme that left her penniless. She took to the jungle to survive living off bananas and chocolate. And coffee lots and lots of coffee. Yes, she didn’t sleep much but Maya is no stranger to sacrifice. She has sacrificed a lot. Her approach to learning ballet is almost ritualistic. She has painstakingly enshrined and merged the teachings of all the great ballet schools -Russian, Italian, French, English, and Barnum and Bailey- creating a unique style that has helped her climb the steps to reach the capstone of success. Now, at the pinnacle of her powers, she has her finger on the pulse of balletomanes. Maya holds your heart in her hands when she performs the Dying Swan. Her Giselle will tear your heart out. Her Samson and Delilah will make you lose your head. She is an attraction not to be missed. Critics are dying to see her next performance.
