Mme. Hermine Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 you should like Jose Martin, nice clean technique, not too tall, but a noble demeanor and very pleasant to watch. Link to comment
cargill Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Robert Tewsley was a guest at the NYCB for about a week two or three years ago (I can't remember what he danced), but I thought he was gorgeous, very dignified elegant. I kept hoping he would come back, but I guess he has found a good home. Link to comment
Lolly Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Does this mean the company is getting bigger? We have just got 7 dancers from RBS, and now we are getting 6 dancers from other companies. Maybe because we have so many guest artists at the moment, they don't count towards numbers? I'll have to check old programmes to see how many have been in the company in the past. Just a thought!
