Unsourced, moved from article to talk page
[edit]Her current stage names are Hoon Sook Moon (Mun Hun-suk in Korean) or Julia Moon. Before the posthumous marriage with Heung Jin Moon, she used either her English name with her maiden name Julia Pak or her Korean name with her maiden name, Hoon Sook Pak. Her career was sponsored by her father Bo Hi Pak, and her father-in-law Sun Myung Moon. Original music for her ballet Shim Chung was composed by Kevin Picard.
Unsourced, moved from article to talk page. Per WP:BURDEN, please don't move back unless sourced. Cirt (talk) 11:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Reviews
[edit]I have a feeling that the review section is almost meaningless to most readers. The article does not claim that she is a great dancer, or even notable as a dancer. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- I agree. This is a biography, not a dance review. Wolfview (talk) 06:40, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- I would also vote for taking out, or at least cutting back, the section. Kitfoxxe (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- I went ahead and took out the section. Another issue was that almost all the reviews were of one of her last performances and didn't give a fair view of her whole career. Steve Dufour (talk) 13:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I did some research on Julia Moon's reception in connection with another matter; some of the sources I found may be useful:
- Ms. Moon, an American-born ballerina, is certainly one of the most feminine of dancers, delicately pliant and ethereal. Soft-spoken yet determined, she also functions as the company's general director. New York Times
- ...the ballerina Julia Moon, the company's sensible general director. New York Times
- It was a careful rather than spontaneous performance, but Moon is a lyrical dancer with a gorgeous line and the gracious authority to make one believe that she can calm a raging storm, capture the heart of both a sea monster and a king and make the blind see again. Washington Post
- In December 1989, she was the first Asian to perform as a guest principal with the Kirov Ballet of St. Petersburg. Life Times
- The Universal Ballet of Korea staged a stunningly beautiful performance of "Swan Lake" at the Spokane Opera House two years ago. Now, the same company is bringing another classic story ballet, "Sleeping Beauty," to the Opera House for a single performance Sunday night. The Spokesman Review
- A founding member of Universal Ballet and now its general director, Julia Moon brought aspecial authority and gravity to her performance Tuesday that unified the ballet and added poignancy to her lyrical dancing, whether she was begging for food, rejecting the advances of an amorous sea critter or finding love in the arms of the Korean King. LA Times
- Steivel praises Moon's "line and her emotional quality." Still, when Vinogradov cast her as "Giselle" with the Kirov, skeptics had a field day. "Julia is lovely," ABT ballet mistress and former UB instructor Georgina Parkinson told the Los Angeles Times. "But I don't think she could ever become a dancer for the world market." Moon herself had doubts. "Vinogradov saw me on a video and cast me," she recalls. "Was I prepared? Of course not. But I worked very hard and the Russians were very warm. They love ballet the way Americans love football." The Moscow News called Moon's performance a "success"; on a Universal Ballet tour in 1990, the Italian newspaper La Stampa wrote: "Julia Moon is an exquisite protagonist--a particularly lyrical ballerina."
