BalanchineFan Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 NYCB has updated their roster, at least somewhat. Eli Raphael Gruska and Mia Williams are now in the Corps de ballet and Maya Milic is listed as an apprentice. They announced that other dancers from SAB workshop had received apprenticeships, Becket Jones, Alexander Perone, Kylie Williams and Kate Bivens are a few I remember, but they're not listed, at least not yet. https://www.nycballet.com/discover/meet-our-dancers Congratulations to all!

BalanchineFan Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Eli Gruska has also danced works by Justin Peck and other choreographers affiliated with NYCB. He looks lovely from his IG. My guess is that he’s tall. Link to comment
theo Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Eli danced with Ballet Met while Edwaard Liang was the director. Mr. Liang is now the director of the Washington Ballet, but earlier in his career he was a soloist ant NYCB. Perhaps Mr. Liang had something to do with Eli's being hired by NYCB. No matter how Eli got there. I wish him great success! Link to comment
KikiRVA Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 It looks like Craig Hall worked with him when he staged “Times Are Racing” at Houston last year. Link to comment
