Make that three of us agreeing that Stella Abrera and Hee Seo should be Principals. First things first: Congrats to Hee Seo on her appointment to soloist. Absolutely deserved. A gorgeous lyrical dancer with some of the most beautiful feet in the business.

Make that number to be four of us!

Congratulations to Miss Hee Seo on her well deserved promotion!!

I have only seen once Stella to dance in leading role in a full-length ballet. That's Cinderella, with Cote back in 2007(?)

Thanks so much! I've been following Seo since she was at the Prix, and Stearns from his time at RBS. It's like watching kids grow up! In the best possible way!

I don't know if anybody else already posted that Gia Kourlas yesterday wrote a very nice interview for Hee Seo's tongiht Juliet debut, with 6 very nicely shot photos. It's appeared on Timeout New York's Dance section.

Gia wrote one for Cory too during his debut as Conrad in Le Corsaire, entitled The New Kid on the Block

Congrats Seo and Stearn! Really feel happy for both of them. Happy Birthday Mr. Franklin!

If I just heard correctly, SDYTYCD just announced an ABT performance of R&J next week!!!!!!!!! Did anyone else hear it>>

I heard it too.

But I think what he meant was ABT will dance R&J in L.A. next week, not on the show of SYTYCD. ABT's LA R&J performances from 07/16-07/19 had been announced long time ago.
