Has anyone heard who's dancing Sleeping Beauty?

Vanessa Zahorian and Gonzalo Garcia performed a pas de deux at the Season Opening Gala, so it's safe to assume that Vanessa is one of the Aurora's.

The program notes are posted on the website. One of those interviewed is Rachel Viselli, who is another Aurora. She is paired up with Davit Karapetyan. Here's the ballet website link: www.sfballet.org.

If I had to guess who the other Aurora's are, I would think Yuan Yuan Tan and Sarah Van Patten. Casting should be up by Wednesday or Thursday.
