is it normal for them to begin fall season rehearsals when the summer season is quickly approaching??

osipova brought him out to perform flames of paris when she did her show in new york earlier this year- had no idea who he was at the time but he was mind blowing!! he will climb the company ranks quickly.

how tall was part?

Thanks so much for clarification! do you think it would be possible for ABT to retain the footage from the live? have they been able retain WT live footage in the past? it would be a total shame if they couldn’t. Brandt’s giselle is a very coveted one after all

does anyone know if the footage skylar posted from the TV was recorded for ABT, or was just shown as live feed from the stage during the show?

when should we expect promotions? after the wolf trap shows?

Here is his instagram post congratulating his brother on his promotion https://www.instagram.com/p/CsJl1Dug47b/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

christine’s knee started bleeding during the very end of the show. hope it was nothing serious.

The audience loved him and he seemed super in character, right before Mercutio’s death when Mercutio tries to convince romeo to take a sword against tybalt and romeo refuses, you could see Roxander mouthing “just take it / just take one” to Bell. small detail that i loved, he has left such a good impression on me this season and i hope he gets promoted soon!

i think she meant met 2023 season because since they’re doing swan lake at the kennedy center in 2024 that would mean swan lake at the met in 2024. so swan lake, R&J, and giselle is almost a complete repeat of the 2023 season and i doubt jaffe would do that.

is the met not extremely strict about phones? sometimes it feels like the ushers will come barging in with little their flashlights at the slightest hint of a phone screen being on.

thanks im pretty sure I spent days binge watching videos of the black swan coda seeing which ballerinas could do the most impressive fouettés then I just fell into the black hole of ballet clips available on youtube. then once ABT announced the met 2022 season I was ecstatic. I’ve been to 10 ballets since then. Luckily my mom is an ex dancer (big mariinsky fan) so I always have someone to go with and she is very glad i’ve joined the ballet fan club on my own lol.

young ballet fans are rare but we do exist!! I got into ballet as a non dancer during the pandemic, at first it was a causal thing but I fell down the rabbit hole quite quickly! I am starting college in a month-ish for age reference and have been spending this summer bringing my friends who know little to nothing about ballet to see ABT. The responses have been extremely positive even though they didn’t have high expectations at first hahaha.

I’m sorry but i would love a brandt/bell swan lake one day. i don’t care about the ridiculous height difference (brandt at 5’2 and bell is 6’3 for anyone who didn’t know). I’ve watched the videos skylar posted on her youtube where they danced swan lake together at boca ballet theatre and it looked amazing(height difference wasn’t all that bothersome) they are both some of ABT’s strongest dancers at the moment. Just a thought i felt the need to share
