Bouder in T&V and a young lead for Concerto Barocco!

Indeed! When I saw your comment, I did not expect to see the name of such a young dancer!

I remember that Megan Johnson received a glowing mention in a June 08 review in the NY Times of the workshop performance at SAB of Concerto Barocco. I'm looking forward to it. It's too bad that Maria K. is not doing Concerto B. this season She is performing in Oltremare on the same program.

Correct me if this is wrong, but I was under the impression that she performed the 2nd movement pdd in the workshop performance. However, there seems to be no indication on the casting of which lead Johnson will be performing. Any information? I would imagine they would have the senior dancer perform the pas, but this is City Ballet, after all...

I'm pretty sure that the 1st lead listed is the one who does the pas de deux in the second movement.

I am so upset that Ashley Bouder is NOT scheduled to do "Ballo". HOW CAN THAT BE?

She is still working on recovering from her injury, she told me. So that's why she's just attempting one ballet beyond the Lee ballet before season's end.

And the one ballet is Theme next weekend. Take what you can get this season -- MP

Just noticed she's listed, with Veyette, for 2/21 eve and 2/22. Hope that stays......

I hope that Bouder is pacing herself to allow for a magnificent Kitri in Russia, in a month's time.
