This is excellent! Jared has been dancing beautifully since he returned from a prolonged injury lay-off. He strikes a fine balance between lyricism and masculinity, and is an ardent partner. When he replaced Jock Soto in the premiere of Peter's TALA GAISMA, he showed the command of a principal dancer and put his own mark on a role created for someone else. This is well-deserved promotion.

The boys who came up with Jason Fowler & were paired with him often have all been promoted & Fowler is still in the corps.

To my eye, he is the most interesting & the best partner.

Curious.
