Does anyone know officially what the 2004-2005 roster is for the company and also for BB II?? It seems to be incomplete on their website-- Thanks!

BalletGirl: The two girls listed on the website for BBII are girls who are doing a repeat year in BBII. The additional dancers this year are as follows: Daniel Benavides, Megan Gray, Katherine Hartsell, Catherine Rinko-Gay, Danny Scott, Heather Waymack, Elizabeth Wisenberg and Roman Zavarov. Hope that helps. i believe the roster for the main company is mostly updated, however I could be wrong.

Did any of these come from the Boston Ballet School?

Also, I read a profile on a BB II dancer Lia Cirio (now in the corps, I believe) in Dance Magazine this month.

Katherine Hartsell and Roman Zavarov were in the Spring performances 7i (did Swan Lake Pas de Trois)--so they were at least students there last year.

Didn't Katherine Hartsell also dance one of the student parts in Mozartiana last season?

-- although a web search also reveals that she was a student at the National Ballet School at age 15...

Roman was a student at the Boston Ballet School for two years. Katherine Hartsell was a student for not quite one year. They were both in the spring performances and performed the Swan Lake Pas de Trois with another dancer from the school, Janine Roynayne (spelling), who is now dancing at Sarasota Ballet. Katherine was not in Mozartiana last year. The students in Mozartiana were younger students. Katherine, I believe, is 19 or 20, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the update guys!!

Megan Gray, three years Harid Conservatory. Two 6 week summer courses at Boston Ballet!

I believe you are thinking about Olivia Hartzel who was in mozartiana.I think she is still a little too young for BII at he moment...
As for the rest of the Website, it is still under construction."The mom " was correct in her information about katherine and Roman,...
In terms of the main company, I believe there is another male joining soon. He is from Dance Theatre of Harlem which makes me happy because the company will have at least one African American dancer in it. I was a bit concerned after Erika Lambe "retired" .It seemed a bit odd that Mikko would let her retire and not have any African Americans to fill her spot.So if this person shows up, my fears are quelled for the moment....Of course it remains to be seen what kind of dancer he is and whether they'll use him, but at least there is one...

I noticed that Sarah Edery's name is missing from the corps list. Anyone know where she's gone?

She is recuperating from an injury and doing well......she would be pleased you asked! WE all wish her a speedy recovery...go Sarah!!!

I noticed Andrew Kamiski's name is gone too...does anyone know where he's gone?

He was supposed to dance with Suzanne Farrell Ballet...since they cancelled their fall tour, I don't know.
Anyone have any idea what's up with that company's future plans?

Re the Farrell Ballet, I think the only thing that's certain is that they'll be working on the revival of Balanchine's "Don Quixote," which will be danced this spring (June?) at the Kennedy Center.

I have heard that Farrell Ballet Co. will assemble dancers and be traveling around in the summer months....does anyone know about this? Was this announced publicly anywhere? I was so sorry to hear that the winter tour was canceled....

As far as I know, there have been no official announcements about anything after the "Don Q" run. (Apologies to Bostonians for the diversion!)
