Javier Torres, from Cuban National Ballet) has joined Northern Ballet. He made his debut yesterday afternoon at the Bradford Alhambra in David Nixon's powerful retelling of Swan Lake. It was a wonderful debut and he must have been thrilled at the very warm reception from the audience. I was interested to see how his Cuban style fitted in with NB and all I can say is that he has fitted in really well and already has a good understanding of the NB style.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of his performances.

That's great news, JmCN

Alonso better starts promoting some men within the company if the exodus keeps going on in the fast lane...This most be really fresh, for he's still listed in the CNB's roster...
Oh, BTW...I just realized that after Toto retires, ABT needs a Cuban relacement...!! (not to forget you, Xiomarita...you've done a beautiful job, but this is a hint hint for the bailarines out there.... )
