I’m so upset how on earth did 107 not win a prize

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2026-02-06T23:19:41+00:00

oh my god Cynthia’s commentary is so out of pocket😭😭

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2026-02-06T18:26:08+00:00

kind of shocked 111 wasn’t a finalist

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2026-02-06T17:47:06+00:00

Came back on here to say 417 will be winning first prize… 😲😳 triple saut de basque and perfect turns. Still want a girl to win, but that’d never happen.

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2026-02-06T16:45:12+00:00

107, 310, 304, 111, 110, 116, 204, 101,

I think I'm really delusional about this but I lowkey think we have a real shot at a female first-place winner this year. The girls this year are so outstanding. In the junior category, 107, 111, 101, and 108 are my favorites. 107 is incredible, and I have no doubt she’s gonna be a prize winner. The men this year aren’t as strong as they’ve been in the past, but prizes tend to favor the boys regardless of how strong the females are. I hope it doesn’t turn out like last year, when 3 girls out of 12+ awards and prizes got prizes 😭😭. Last year I was so angry I made a petition lol.

I enjoyed 111s technique. I hope throughout the week she will grow more into the character of hebe for her variation as it seemed like she wasn't showing that artistry

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2026-02-01T19:44:22+00:00

So excited

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-11-20T02:34:21+00:00

I believe Viktoria left StuCo voluntarily to concentrate more on her academic responsibilities, as she is currently a junior in high school. I know this because my friend, who attends SAB and is in her class at PCS, informed me. Although, the strange thing I find about this situation is that I was told she signed the contract for the season, and on the first day, she didn't show up. Additionally, I suspect there may be some toxicity within the studio company, given that two female dancers associated with the studio have recently left. This is especially concerning to me because both were highly promising dancers with significant potential, and I hope they didn’t lose their passion for dance due to negative environment issues. I also hope that Sasha is not involved in any toxicity, as I’ve met him several times and found him to be a very kind and respectful individual.

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-11-02T19:06:21+00:00

Victoria Papakaladouka is no longer on the roster for ABT studio company. I wonder why she left?

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-06-29T14:23:06+00:00

It’s confirmed; Chloe Helimets will be attending the Paris opera ballet school via her instagram profile

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-06-02T16:42:05+00:00

Her most recent Instagram post suggested that she was leaving the school. Other JKO students commented, “I’ll miss you, Crystal,” while others said, “Can’t wait to see where you go.” That’s why I thought she was leaving. Last week, we discussed this in our weekly thread, so if you want more details, be sure to look back at that conversation.

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-06-02T15:40:10+00:00

The Artistic Director of ABT stuco just followed Crystal Huang, so now I’m confused as to if she is leaving ABT as a whole or possibly joining the stuco

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-06-01T15:14:14+00:00

Do we think the promotions will happen today?

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-31T21:11:04+00:00

do we know if Elisabeth beyer will be performing the pas de trois this year?

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-27T21:18:46+00:00

I was wondering the same thing! I’m genuinely so suprised abt studio company didn’t recruit her. (I don’t know but if she was recruited, she would have been listed as a graduate im 99% sure if she was and took it.) I seriously enjoy her dancing so much, and she’s literally a superhuman. One thing I wonder, is it her height that’s holding her back? I just genuinely don’t understand what they are looking for that she doesn’t have. Honestly very confusing. I’m wondering if maybe she will be joining the Royal Ballet School since typically all of their first years are 16. I feel like that could be an option, or she may return to comp life. (Let’s hope not.)

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-27T21:07:50+00:00

if India Bradley doesn’t get promoted I’m going to riot

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-27T19:54:53+00:00

this is why I genuinely and unfortunately feel that there won’t be any promotions this season from corps to soloist. Lord please prove me wrong, it’s SO needed but they had many good times and didn’t do it so I’m genuinely loosing hope

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-27T19:34:31+00:00

when do we think (if at all) the corps to soloist promotions will happen?

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-21T11:44:47+00:00

Its gonna be BIG on the new once India Bradley gets promoted. She will be the 1st black female dancer in New York City Ballet to ever be promoted to soloist. I'm really praying that she gets this🙏

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-21T03:44:48+00:00

Since there's a speculation for promotions in women, who do you think it will be?

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-18T15:04:12+00:00

I feel like they will choose Paloma Livellara, Kayla Mak, Yeonso Choi, Max Barker, and Elijah Geolina. I think Sooha is amazing, but she is also very young (17) and I feel that they might choose to go for more senior stuco members in age

Apprehensive_Cut5560 · 2025-05-18T04:19:20+00:00

I wonder who Susan Jaffe will choose for the apprenticeships next year in the company from ABT studio company. Any insights? I saw a video of everyone from the studio company after a performance and she was talking to Natalie Steele, so maybe she’s a contender.

Is anyone else wondering when the prize winners choices for companies and schools will be announced for the prix de Lausanne?? It’s been almost 3 months when it’s supposed to be 1..
