I was just about to do it myself so the newly promoted dancers receive their recognition on this forum! Also if you like to follow these details, on the PNB Blog re: promotions, it notes three new apprentices hired from the PNB School Professional Division: Malena Ani, Connor Horton, and Noah Martzall. I am so excited Kuu Sakuragi has been hired into the corp! I was sad when he was not hired upon finishing PNB School and got a job at Alberta Ballet. One Halloween on PNB FB they posted him dressed up like a superhero doing all these amazing turns. He is has a lot of spirit and is a lot of fun to watch. During the First Look to the Future virtual gala it looked to me that Cecilia Ilesiu's and Angelica Generosa's footage was from Rep 1 (Red Angels and Odile, respectively). But Dylan Wald got to debut as Apollo dancing with Lesley Rausch as Terpsichore and I really enjoyed his interpretation. Link to comment
