Rummaging around online and found this -- Chelsea Adomaitis has joined the Monte Carlo company!

Thank you Sandik!  I was just thinking about Chelsea and wondered what happened to her.  There are certain roles that I distinctly remember her in and then I really miss her.  Now I hope to see her dance when Les Ballets de Monte Carlo tours just like Noe and Lucien way back when!

I'd be very curious to see her in that repertory.

Great interview with Carla Korbes by Michael Breeden and Rebecca King Ferraro for their Conversations on Dance podcast:

It was done at last summer's Vail International Dance Festival.

Gavin Larsen is teaching in Asheville, NC, and in this Conversations on Dance Podcast episode, she discusses her career and then the challenges of teaching online with Rebecca King Ferraro and Michael Breeden:

I loved her dancing and was really happy when she returned to the West Coast to dance with Oregon Ballet Theatre, where I got to see her perform featured roles.
