I agree with vrsfanatic that it's most probably a different Sarah Smith who's joining the Kansas City Ballet.

I'm surprised that Melanie Hamrick is still listed. I wonder if she really will come back after the baby is born??? We'll see....

Besides Lily Wisdom and Sterling Bacca, the following corps dancers are no longer listed on ABT's website:

- Rachelle di Stasio

- Kenneth Easter

- Sarah Smith

- Raphael Spyker

According to Instagram, Sarah Smith is expecting a baby. Also, she was out for a few years due to injury. It's been quite a while since I've seen her on stage.

Actually, Nicola Curry is leaving for a good reason: She is getting married next month to a man from "Down Under" and moving to Australia. More good news: Nicola will be joining the Australian Ballet! (I'm not sure when she will start with the company.) While she is sad to be leaving NYC and ABT, she says she's excited--and nervous--about starting this new chapter in her life. She has posted about this on her Instagram account.
