Does anyone know officially what the 2004-2005 roster is for the company and also  for BB II?? It seems to be incomplete on their website-- Thanks!

[its the mom]

BalletGirl:  The two girls listed on the website for BBII are girls who are doing a repeat year in BBII.  The additional dancers this year are as follows:  Daniel Benavides, Megan Gray, Katherine Hartsell, Catherine Rinko-Gay, Danny Scott, Heather Waymack, Elizabeth Wisenberg and Roman Zavarov.  Hope that helps.  i believe the roster for the main company is mostly updated, however I could be wrong.

Did any of these come from the Boston Ballet School?

Also, I read a profile on a BB II dancer Lia Cirio (now in the corps, I believe) in Dance Magazine this month.

Katherine Hartsell and Roman Zavarov were in the Spring performances 7i (did Swan Lake Pas de Trois)--so they were at least students there last year.

Didn't Katherine Hartsell also dance one of the student parts in Mozartiana last season?

-- although a web search also reveals that she was a student at the National Ballet School at age 15...

Roman was a student at the Boston Ballet School for two years.  Katherine Hartsell was a student for not quite one year.  They were both in the spring performances and performed the Swan Lake Pas de Trois with another dancer from the school, Janine Roynayne (spelling), who is now dancing at Sarasota Ballet.  Katherine was not in Mozartiana last year.  The students in Mozartiana were younger students.  Katherine, I believe, is 19 or 20, but I'm not sure.

To Fendrock. ..
  I  believe you  are  thinking  about  Olivia Hartzel who  was in  mozartiana.I think  she  is  still  a  little  too young  for  BII at  he  moment...
    As  for  the  rest  of  the  Website,  it  is  still  under  construction."The mom " was  correct  in  her  information  about  katherine  and  Roman,...
    In  terms of the  main company,  I  believe  there  is  another  male  joining soon. He  is  from  Dance  Theatre  of  Harlem which  makes  me  happy  because the company  will  have  at  least  one  African  American  dancer  in it.  I  was  a  bit  concerned  after  Erika  Lambe "retired" .It  seemed  a bit  odd  that  Mikko  would  let  her  retire  and  not  have  any  African  Americans to  fill  her  spot.So  if  this  person  shows up,  my  fears  are quelled  for  the  moment....Of  course  it  remains to  be  seen  what  kind  of  dancer  he  is  and  whether  they'll use  him,  but  at  least  there  is  one...

I noticed that Sarah Edery's name is missing from the corps list.  Anyone know where she's gone?

[socalgal]

She is recuperating from an injury and doing well......she would be pleased you asked!      WE all wish her a speedy recovery...go Sarah!!!

I noticed Andrew Kamiski's name is gone too...does anyone know where he's gone?

[Juliet]

He was supposed to dance with Suzanne Farrell Ballet...since they cancelled their fall tour, I don't know.
Anyone have any idea what's up with that company's future plans?

[Alexandra]

Re the Farrell Ballet, I think the only thing that's certain is that they'll be working on the revival of Balanchine's "Don Quixote," which will be danced this spring (June?) at the Kennedy Center.

[socalgal]

I have heard that Farrell Ballet Co. will assemble dancers and be traveling around in the summer months....does anyone know about this? Was this announced publicly anywhere?  I was so sorry to hear that the winter tour was canceled....
