And....ABT Met Season 2012 is surely going to cause Haglund some more G.A.S.

American Ballet Theatre announced its Spring 2012 season today, and contrary to my hopes, but for a technicality - the appearance of Natalia Osipova now on the principals page of the ABT website (i.e. she's no longer a guest artist) - the scheduled guest artist leads look to have increased, rather than decreased, from 2011.

A little something going right at ABT

Well, it's nice to see something is going right at American Ballet Theatre - the website now shows that Brittany DeGrofft has been upgraded from apprentice to full corps member.  From my prior posts, you know what I fan I am of this young dancer, and I'm glad to report the powers that be seem to appreciate her as well.  Congrats Brittany!

A Heartfelt Welcome Back to ABT to Adrienne Schulte!


Happy to report that the lovely and talented Adrienne Schulte's photo went back up on the ABT website today (ok, I've known about this for a while and it was torture waiting for ABT to update their site in order to convey my exuberance!). Can't tell you how much I missed her on stage the past 3 years, and how much I'm looking forward to seeing her dance again after her time at the English National Ballet.  Congrats!

Here's a link to her "cupcakes and conversation" interview on Ballet News from 2009.

The New York Times is reporting that David Hallberg will join the Bolshoi Ballet for the 2011-2012 season, while still performing with American Ballet Theatre and other companies only on a limited basis.
