drb Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 ...But she fell in yesterday's (Sunday) 'Slice to Sharp.' A huge belly-flop. Everyone gasped. I was amazed to see her return to the group finale, a few minutes later. Ashley Bouder has had to dance in 13 of the last 14 NYCB programs, and she's assigned some of the hardest, most risky roles. One of the reasons given in support of block programming is that it could be used to help spread out a given dancer's work load. For a dancer who's had some very extended injury periods, Mr. Martins is not doing an optimal job of protecting his grandest star. She is (was) scheduled to dance in tonight's Gala. Link to comment

The scheduling is definitely uneven-- she dances almost every night for two weeks, then nothing this week (from what i can tell), and then just 2 Firebirds next week. Link to comment
