The talent!!! That Brahms-Schoenberg quartet couple, for instance — these students are so very impressive.

Just FYI, getting PT really doesn’t prove a dancer is out with an injury. It can be a way of keeping things on track so they don’t get worse and prevent you from performing, too.
Tiler did post on IG that her spring season is over. Re: Copland Dances “it was a great way for me to end a wonderful season.”
Maybe that’s just casting and rep, maybe it’s something else.In the audio for the video, Peck says, “I’m out” and the PT asks what happened — it’s definitely a conversation in the tone of injury

In addition to Slaughter I would get rid of the Concert. It's just not that funny. I also think we have seen enough Orpheus for the time being.
Would love to see the 3 ballets mentioned above (Mozartiana, Divert. 15, Chaconne). Will they ever program Davidbundertanze again? Also, Cortege Hongrois has been out of rep for some time.
Respectfully disagree on the Concert (which I adore), but absolutely agree with everything else you’ve said here, particularly how great it would be to see Cortège and Davidsbundlertanze (that music!) again

Adore this insight, @Royal Blue. Thank you.

Totally agree. I can't keep my eyes off Misseldine when she's dancing, even if she's dancing a demi-soloist role behind a principal dancer. I selfishly wish she was at NYCB so I could see more of her!
Yep. She’s a really special talent.

Honestly, has anyone else done this?
Not in my memory. Holy moley.

I know I've seen Mearns dance it with Reichlen. It was like two blondes, one running hot, one running cold, in the best possible way.
I remember this cast so well — one of my favorite CBs ever.

From PNB's IG, with video:
We caught PNB Principal dancer Leta Biasucci receiving the warmest acclamation from her colleagues during her first full company rehearsal since having a baby last year. We’re not crying, you’re crying!
For this run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Leta will be performing the role of Hermia (seen here) and the Divertissement pas de deux with frequent partner @lucienpost. Welcome back to the stage, Leta!https://www.instagram.com/p/CqtLbtKrTP-/
Definitely crying.
Oh, this is lovely!

So great to see that Biasucci is back!

If anyone deserves to retire and have a wonderful life with her husband, it is she
:flowers:, but 😭 for us.
Amen to that — gorgeous dancer and a class act.

Question: Assuming there are no odd AD changeover rules for casting - I assume these are Jaffe's decisions? If so, I'm pleased - her surprise casting of Sun Mi Park feels really fresh and exciting!
Yes! Very excited to see young talent getting big opportunities

Now that space in the soloist roster has opened up, they definitely need to promote Alexa Maxwell to soloist.
Agreed! Believe she may have had a long-term injury (and that that may have been the reason for her delayed ascent) but Maxwell is ready.

Ashley Hod just posted on her Instagram story that Mira Nadon, Emilie Gerrity, Isabella LaFreniere, and Roman Mejia have been promoted to principal dancers!
All very well deserved — I’m especially relieved that Gerrity is finally getting her due.

Gerrity does all principal work, and does it well. This has been the case for a substantial period of time. It's time to give her the promotion she has earned.
Yep.

Helene, would love to hear more about Abeo’s debut — a new soloist whom Ratmansky has spotted stepping into her first full-length? Sign me up!

Bringing a bag of dog poo into a theater foyer doesn't exactly sound like an "impulsive" action. Did he happen to see the critic entering the theater as he was walking his dog and decide, "alright, I'll show her!"?
That’s what I can’t figure out — how did the dog poo end up in the theater foyer? Was he carrying it around all day thinking he might run into the critic?
-
Marco Goecke has been suspended from the directorship of Hannover Ballet after smearing dog poop in a critic’s face after a bad review.
I wish this were a joke.

Knew this had to be coming soon, but what a stupendous career Angle has had and what a stalwart he’s been! Here’s to him riding off into the sunset in style — RDB is so lucky.

My heart is breaking for Sara. I really hope she will be well soon.
Agreed. Mearns is such a generous dancer who gives so much of herself onstage. I am glad she is taking time to heal.

Hyltin has been such a treasure for this company. Her gorgeous dancing, her professionalism no matter what her disappointments are, her graciousness, her warmth and sunnyness place her as the perfect mentor to young dancers.
As to her future, any company, within and without the ballet world, would be thrilled to have her in their midst.
Has Hyltin stated what’s next for her?

That sounds like a wonderful performance @tutu!
It really was. I can’t stop smiling.

If anyone sees tonight’s performance, I would be interested to hear how Gilbert Bolden does in his Cavalier debut.
Reporting that this was a really nice debut for Bolden! Didn’t notice any bobbles in the pas, and a seriously gorgeous series of coupe-jetes in the coda. And perfect demeanor for the role, as Bolden seemed the picture of devotion to Phelan as his SPF, in a way that was almost reminiscent of Jock Soto back in the day. All in all, Bolden was a steady and noble Cavalier.
Killer cast all round: Roman Meijia as Candy Cane, Emma Von Enck as Marzipan (if you’ve seen the latest Anatomy of a Dance video featuring her Marzipan — which was nothing to sneeze at — she’s much better live), Tiler Peck sailing through Dewdrop. I’ll be keeping an eye out for David Gabriel after his excellent Tea, with jumps and lines that hinted at a future danseur noble.
And it was so, so great to have the little ones back this year. The energy (and bit of chaos) that they bring to the Parlor Scene, Angels, the Battle Scene just can’t be beat.

Planning to be there tonight and will report back! Looks like there was a relatively last-minute sub of Phelan for Mearns, so fingers crossed that all the tricky partnering goes off without a hitch.

Now, I'm sure she's a sublime Sugarplum and I would love to see her in the role again.
Confirmed that Fairchild is a wonderful Sugar — saw her a year or two ago and I just love her presence in the role.

I had no idea that happened to Brandt and Trenary! Just demis in Theme would seem to be a stamina test in itself!
