Full schedule for #DancePassion here

They are, but you have to look at each performance of the triple by clicking on the dates. Osipova is down to dance 1st Movement but only on June 4 for some reason.

I've always understood it as a matter of capitalisation. In the RB and some other companies 'Artist' is the entry rank, but, as you say 'artists' is a generic term though I think usually understood to not include Principal status.

The Ashton Foundation has posted links to videos of the masterclasses.

Link to the Ballet Festival 2019

Four or five I think: Nuñez, Acosta, Soares, Mendizabal …

Change of wording re mentioning children to make it more general: No member should give details of any child, such as their name or their dance school, unless the parent has already done so publicly here – this applies particularly in the Doing Dance forum.

By chance I checked this morning on the website links I'd put up on the Ballet Association page and deleted the non-functioning ones, just leaving a paltry two. That short list is not authoritative (!) but it may well be that the use of Instagram etc has diminished the need or inclination to set up a full site. If anyone knows of sites belonging to members of either RB company perhaps they could post them here and I can add them to the page. Thanks. (Disclaimer: I run the BA website but am not part of their organisation.)
