About Sophie Benoit qui danse avec un immense talent une variation du cygne noir sur la musique de Tchaikovsky au Théâtre André Malraux, Rueil-Malmaison, le 26 juin 2009.

Since 2008, Sophie is a soloist at the Royal Swedish Ballet.
Born in France in 1985, Sophie began studying ballet when she was six years old.
In 1998, she was voted the most promising candidate to enter at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Paris.
In 2000, Sophie was awarded a place at the Upper School of the Royal Ballet School where she graduated at the end of its 3 years Dancer course program. Sophie also won the International Young Artist scholarship award, the Lavoisier Prize. Whilst studying at the Royal Ballet Upper School, Sophie was chosen to perform with the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden in the Firebird and in Nutcracker. She also danced with the Birmingham Royal Ballet in its production of the Nutcracker.
From 1998 to last Summer 2004, Sophie used to take classes with Mr. Anatoli Kovalenko, a former Principal at the Bolchoi and now a teacher at the Bolchoi School. He taught her several variations including Sylvia, la Bayadere and Swan Lake. She also had the opportunity to take classes in Munich with Elena Pankova, the Kirov Prima ballerina and Bayerisches Staats Ballet soloist.
In 2006, she won the Gold Medal at the Rome International Ballet Competition. Mr Heinz Spoerli, who was a member of the panel offered Sophie a soloist contract at the Zurich Ballet where she danced: Queen of the Dryades (Don Quichotte), The small swans, The four grand swans, The pas de cinq (Swan Lake), Terpsichore (Apollo Balanchine), principal role in Concerto Barocco (Balanchine), Plum Fairy (Nutcracker).

Thank you very much Judson,
as you are a body expert and a photographer too,
it is really at the extremes of what is still possible. I will see her dancing again very soon challenging gravity forces and the body as not many people can. She belongs to the top and is a source of inspiration to many others.
best regards,
Paul

Thank you Nick,
the sense of motion could be best captured with longer shutter speeds but also the freezing of special moments is worth to capture as you noticed challenging gravity forces and the body,
thank you for your visit and comment,
regards,
Paul

You would not believe how extremely talented she is Mojgan, but big part of what I saw was achieved with training and hard work too. I will see her dancing in Paris again this week and I am looking forward to this,
hugss,
Paul

I wished even more that it was not a frozen image but a movie so I also digitally recorded her dancing but most of all I am looking forward to see her dancing again in real very soon. Watching her talent and dedicaton is extremely inspiring.
hugs,
Paul

Wonderful for me too, she challenged gravity forces and limits of physical excellence. I am still full of admiration and will see her dancing soon again. An extreme talent and very hard work all made her like that,
hugs,
Paul
