Didi Carli

Didi Carli is an Argentine retired ballet dancer.

The Russian balletmaster and choreographer Victor Gsovsky had seen Carli dancing at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and brought her to Europe, where he partnered her with Robert de Warren, to replace Karin von Aroldingen who had left Frankfurt to join John Taras at New York City Ballet.{{cite book|author=Robert De Warren|title=Destiny's Waltz, in Step with Giants|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GGICIrPsPYAC&pg=PT195|date=1 January 2012|publisher=Strategic Book Publishing|isbn=978-1-61897-582-9|pages=194–6}} In his biography, Robert de Warren describes her as a "prodigy" capable of dancing the entire role of the Black Swan on a carpet without pointe shoes.
