Josette Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 This is exciting news. I just watched her on the Boston Ballet website, and she is beautiful and moves like quicksilver. Angelo Greco had posted on FB that he was looking forward to dancing with her on Sept. 7 at the Monterrey International Ballet Gala 2019. I hope to see them in Romeo and Juliet together next season.
