- ... that ballerinas and sisters Lorena and Lorna Feijóo once split the two lead roles in Swan Lake, which are usually portrayed by the same dancer? Source: "The sisters performed publicly together for the first time last year in "Swan Lake." It was a sold-out, one-night-only performance in which Lorna danced Odette — a princess who is human at night, but turned into a swan during the day by an evil sorcerer — and Lorena danced the role of Odile, the sorcerer's daughter. One dancer usually dances both roles." ([1])

Interesting hook! I looked at Lorena, detailed, well-sourced, no copyvio obvious. I'll probably look at the other later today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 30 March 2021 (UTC)- I'd add that from Cuba and danced in the U.S. to the hook, for exoticism ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
Now I looked at both articles, and am ready to approve. Perhaps we can improve the hook? I think "White Swan" and "Black" Swan" would connect more to the story. When I saw the ballet first, the two were different dancers, - not sure about "normally", - perhaps "often", or no explanation. In the Lorna article, you have a "now", - can that be avoided, or given a year? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- I rephrased that sentence in Lorna's article. Somehow I can't find when did she retire and when did she start the school. As for Swan Lake, it is a convention to have the same person portray both Black Swan and White Swan, especially in major ballet companies, but there are exceptions, so "usually" might be a better word?
- ALT1: ... that Cuban ballerinas and sisters Lorena and Lorna Feijóo both moved to the U.S., and once split the roles of Black and White Swans in Swan Lake, which are usually danced by the same person? Corachow (talk) 21:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, I like that better but leave the other in case a prep builder needs something short. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
