Isn't Houston the last active male dancer who danced under Balanchine? Jock Soto joined right before Balanchine died, of course, but he's really a Martins dancer.

Speaking of Soto, I see that Amar Ramasar is debuting in the role Soto created in Martins' "The Infernal Machine."

Am very happy that Ramasar is getting a chance to shine - I'm a fan, and have been following him since his SAB show - but I am bit worried that NYCB's worrisome policy of "the black guy role" (ie, the Arthur Mithcell role in Agon, to which Albert Evans and others have subsequently been limited) may be supplemented by the "Indian guy role," ie Ramasar will start getting all Soto's old parts.

Granted, there are some very nice parts in there, but when will Martins get a clue and figure out that the dark guy can also be cast as the Cavalier, the Prodigal Son, or Apollo?

I wish NYCB could learn to see dancers just as DANCERS, instead of paper-doll color-types. A lot of other companies learned this lesson a long time ago.
