tantris Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 As the very last of Balanchine's male dancers, what should his role be in the company after he retires? He already teaches at SAB - should he be a ballet master????? Link to comment
dancelyssa Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Well, I know that it was said that this is his last performing year, so they'd better decide quickly shouldn't they? As an aside, I believe he is coming to Stamford for one last round of Nuts again this year, he and Darci have always done one weekend of Plum and Cavalier because it is Balanchine's nutcracker.

perky Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 After re-visiting their book "Our Meals, Making a Home for Family and Friends", I'd say The Food Network should give Jock and Heather Watts their own cooking/entertaining show. Link to comment
adagio1 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I think Jock would be a GREAT TV Chef!!! But I think Peter Martins should have him run SAB and teach partnering classes for the company. God knows they need him. Link to comment

pj Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I agree with adagio1. My daughter had Mr. Soto for only one class this summer and found him to be a particularly encouraging kind of instructor. She really enjoyed his class and would have liked to have him for more classes. We saw him perform this last weekend in L.A. and he certainly seems to have retained that all-important joy for dancing. It would be wonderful if he could pass that quality on to another generation of students. Link to comment
dewdrop Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 If there's a recipe for carrott ginger soup in Jock and Heather's book could someone post that here? Thanks, DD Link to comment

dancelyssa Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Jock Soto just danced 3 performances in George Balanchine's The Nutcracker in Stamford and reportedly this was the final performances of his career. He was great as the Cavalier. The other performances were danced by Damian Woetzel, accompanied by Alexandra Ansanelli. Link to comment
