The casting is up for the Coppenhagen tour:

*So* good to see that Ellen Bar is back in Agon! I saw her in this role (Hayden's) a couple of years ago, and thought she looked just terrific in it -- and Hall and Danchig-Waring will complement her perfectly. My Ellen Bar wish list: The Siren in Prodigal Son and Farrell's role in Davidsbündlertänze. (A Mearns, Bar, Taylor and A. Stafford line-up in that ballet would be hard to beat.)

And speaking of Taylor, I'd love to see that Serenade debut!

I actually had the opposite reaction to Ellen Bar in Agon. I thought she was not sufficiently angular in her movements. The angularity of movement is key. I felt the same way when I saw Ellen Bar do the solist role in Rubies in June. I prefer Tess R. in these roles. I prefer Ellen Bar in roles calling for fluid upper body movement.

Some very good casting for Divert 15 and Suite #3, and Janie in Serenade/Junction!! Hope we'll get to see this when NYCB comes back to New York.

I don't know how he did it, but Marc Haegeman has seen it already!

Taylor was subtle, a bundle of light-footed energy but hiding something tragic underneath.

No, wait, that's from a review of a London performance in March. The actual debut took place the week before at the Kennedy Center. Once in a while in Washington, we get lucky.

Hmmm ... I saw the "*" for "First Time in Role" and thought it meant, you know, "Debut" ...

Perhaps Taylor danced the Russian Girl in London and is moving on to Waltz Girl in Copenhagen?

Sorry, I should have been clear. She danced the Waltz Girl. Perhaps she'll be the Russian Girl in Copenhagen.

She has done Russian as well. I think the * is a mistake!

I think the * is a mistake!

It wouldn't be the first time and probably won't be the last.

A surprising number of NYCB dancers have had multiple debuts in the same role.
