Interim leader Jon Stafford announced this afternoon that Joseph Gordon has been promoted to principal dancer and that Daniel Applebaum, Harrison Coll, Claire Kretzschmar, Aaron Sanz, Sebastian Villarini-Velez and Peter Walker have been promoted to soloists. All excellent choices. We love all of these dancers. Every one of them delivers 1000% when they hit the stage. Congratulations to all!
Now – could we please see about getting our other favorite ballerinas in the corps off the disabled list and back on track? We old folks don't have a whole lotta time to waste while these ballerinas dilly-dally around in ortho boots and the like. Let's go let's go let's go. On stage.
And could NYCB just name Stafford permanently to his post so the obnoxious media can find something new to obsess over – like the game-changing importance of Taylor Swift's and Kanye West's political endorsements and, of course, the hidden message in each item of Melania's wardrobe.

Well deserved promotions. I’m also glad Mira Nadon got taken into the company. I love watching her in the corps.
It’s unfortunate that both LaFreniere and Kikta got injured early into the season. This is LaFrenieres second time missing a big debut. I hope we see both of them back soon. Same for Ashley Hod.
