sandik Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 10 hours ago, Helene said: Price Suddarth has choreographed a work for Kansas City Ballet's "New Moves" program that opens Thursday and runs through March 31. 3 hours ago, Helene said: Olympic Ballet Theatre will perform a work by Kyle Davis in its New Works program: I'm very glad for both of these projects. I think both of these artists have potential as choreographers, but the way to learn to make dances is to seek out opportunities to make dances. It's a trick to fit these out-of-the-building projects into their rehearsal and performance schedules, but it's what needs to happen. Link to comment

pirouetta27 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Congratulations to the Suddarths on their upcoming baby!

sandik Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Congratulations to them all, and snaps to Sarah Pasch for those turns. Since your center of gravity changes about every 45 minutes when you're pregnant, they are especially great... Link to comment

marchand Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Is Leta B. still dancing? I see her listed on the website, but I don't see any mention of her casting on recent Ballet Talk discussions. Link to comment
Helene Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 She hasn't danced yet this season, but I've got my fingers crossed! Link to comment
Helene Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 There's been no news from the company, and her Instagram account is private. I only follow maybe ten current and former dancers on any social media, and if one of her colleagues mentioned it in their public social media -- which would count as official news-- I likely wouldn't know, but I'm sure someone would have posted by now. I just look at cast lists and hope to see her dance again. What a phenomenal dancer she is. Link to comment
sandik Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I'm pretty sure she'll be back. Link to comment

Helene Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 From this article, Quote Of the 40 full-time contracted dancers in the company today, five are parents, with principals Elizabeth Murphy and Leta Biasucci the only mothers. So that explains why we haven't seen Leta Biasucci for a while. Congratulations to her! Link to comment
