First is very nice. Not sure I like the softening though.
Second her face is turned away from the light, which is a pity.

I like them both even with softening and facing out of the light ... enhances the romantic feel of the scenes.

I wasn't sure at first I liked the softness of the first one but the more I look at it the more I really like it. Like Dwight said, it adds a romantic feel to it.

I like the second as well.

Really nice. The style is distinctive and compositions really work. Have the dancers and artistic staff seen these?

You know I do have one critique, but not of the photography at all. I think it's very important to credit the dancers when you show their pictures. Give their names. They do what the do for glory and for applause. They bring at least as much to the shots as you do. They deserve to be credited.
