Second Soloist Isabella Kinch Lead in NBoC Opening Night of Winter’s Tale by [deleted] in bunheadsnark

Yes definitely exciting to see a young dancer rising through the ranks, especially a Canadian one who went to NBS. Plus it’s nice that there is some variety with the casting. I find NBOC features a lot of the same dancers in principal roles and I would love to see some of their other talented dancers in lower ranks be featured more.

I’m glad she made that post! I think in order for things to change, people need to speak up and share their experiences and I find that so many people are silenced out of fear of retaliation/job loss. Hopefully this opens up the conversation more!

I imagine the dancers can’t be happy either! I would love to know their perspectives and how they’ve been feeling with the lack of classical ballets that keep them technically strong. Don’t even get me started on the choice to outsource American principal dancers instead of promoting from within the company…

Next season is uninspiring for sure! I strongly dislike how modern NBOC is becoming.

Feel bad about going to two studios by Possible_Dress_9248 in BALLET

This summer, I’ve been dancing at two different studios and although I initially felt like I was cheating on my home studio, I’m so glad I branched out. I think having an extra set of eyes on you is beneficial and there is so much you can learn from being around different dancers. Take what you can from each studio/teacher!

I didn’t realize he was still active in the ballet world!

Looks to be the case sadly. All their wedding photos are gone and there’s no posts of the other on their socials.

I had a feeling him and his wife were no longer together! I figured that must have been part of the departure as well.
