lacdescygnes Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I have not seen any communication on this from ABT or the Kennedy Center (I have tickets for the first night of the run which is in exactly one week). Nothing either on the dancers' Instagrams... does anyone have any news that I may have missed? Link to comment
Becki Lee Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 They just posted a video (on ABT’s instagram!) Misty opens it and Cassie introduces. Link to comment

Caballetfan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 This is (I suspect) tangential to the contract negotiation topic, but does anyone know what’s going on with Zimmi Coker? I follow a lot of the ABT dancers on IG and noticed hers was pretty silent during the Nutcracker Segerstrom run this past December. I also kept up a bit with casting at the time and was surprised not to see her pop up in her usual roles (Party Scene dolls, Chinese, Sisters, Flowers, etc). Most of the dancers have been posting about the KC Swan Lake run, classes, rehearsals, etc. since the top of the year. Nothing on socials from her except for a few IG Stories about the labor negotiations and potential strike prior to the agreement being reached a couple days ago. She’s one of my faves!

Yesterday I saw this comment by Coker on one of Fang’s IG posts and she seems to be recovering from a foot injury.
