No gold for ballet men

By Terry Morris | Friday, June 25, 2010, 10:56 AM

So you think you can dance? No, you can’t, if you were a contestant in the senior men’s division of the 2010 USA International Ballet Competition.

Judges decided not to award a gold medal in that category as the two-week event neared its June 26 conclusion in Jackson, Miss. It is held just once every four years.

Twenty dancers, most of them from Asia, did win medals, scholarships and cash awards.

Cao Shuchi of the People’s Republic of China was the senior women’s gold medalist and won best couple honors with partner Zhang Xi. Kosuke Okumura of Japan won the men’s silver.

Junior gold medalists were Marcelino Sambe of Portugal, men, and Ji Young Chae of South Korea, who also shared best junior couple honors with her partner, Ki-Min Kim.

Highest-ranked American dancer was Derek Dunn, who took the junior men’s bronze.
