EXTRACTS FROM RECENT PRINTED MEDIA
-La Bayadere – Dance Europe, Maggie Foyer, March 2010
…Bojana N. Otrin as Nikiya, despite a steely strength, has an aura of gentle feminity. Her port des bras are exquisite, most noticeably in the solo precending her death where they wrap so eloquently around her arching torso…. N. Otrin gave a moving interpretation, full of heartfelt tenderness. Her classical line is beautiful, as was the delicacy of her footwork.
-Nutcracker – Toronto – www. – (12. Dec. 2009)
…Toronto International Ballet Theatre put on The Nutcracker this past weekend and it was unforgettable! It was an honour and a privelege to watch such talented, and world renowned dancers Wieslaw Dudek and Bojana Nenadović Otrin!!…

-Mozart vs. Schumann – Oskar Tonkli – Kärtner Zeitung (19. Apr. 2008 ) – translated
… Bojana Nenadovic Otrin and her congenial partner Wieslaw Dudek convince in Mozart’s Piano Concerto. In a remarkable aesthetic interpretation of the slow movement they both succeed to proof that pure classic has nothing to do with “anemia”. …
