cubanmiamiboy Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 bart called my attention on the latest name on the MCB roster: Principal Reyneris Reyes, whose biography and photo aren't up on the website yet. I hadn't heard his name in years. I remember him very well during the second half of the 90's, when he made a speedy ascension up the Cuban ranks right after his graduation. What I mostly remember from him was his beautiful supple posture and that he was a very popular bailarin among the young audience. By the time I left the island he had been out for a while, and I never knew of his whereabouts afterward. I just read online that he has been a member of Royal Winnipeg Ballet from 1999 to 2004, which he rejoined after a stint with Boston Ballet that ended in 2007. I really hope that he can fill the gap left by Sarabita. Well, in any case, welcome to Miami, Bienvenido a Miami, cubanito !!! Link to comment
bart Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 This is good news that should really heat things up. I've been online researching Reyes' career in Boston and Winnepeg. He's danced a wide variety roles. For those who know his work, what are the special strengths -- experience, dancer style, etc. -- that we can hope Reyes will bring to MCB? How will he fit into the repertory, company style, and esprit de corps we've become used to in Villella's company? Link to comment
