It seems as if the NYCB's loss is the Royal Ballet's gain. For those who are worried about her signing a First Soloist contract, I would suggest that the only reason for this is that the RB's principal casting has been agreed for the whole season, and it may benefit Alexandra to work on some secondary roles to allow her to get familiar with the company and it's rep.
I am sure she will be on a Principal contract next season. There are a lot of female Principals due for retirement at the RB, and Darcey Bussell has announced her semi-retirement.
