I have just been informed that the RB dancers whom Valentino will be choreographing on and working with will be: Dawid Trzensimiech and Leticia Stock. The music he will be choreographing to will be the 6th song of Johann Sebastian Bach' "Magnificat" entitled "Et misericordia".

Pavlova Day is one of the highlights of Pavlova 2012, which is celebrating the centenary of Anna Pavlova making Ivy House in north London her home. There are certainly many interesting events taking place in June at Ivy House and also in central London throughout the summer. As far as I know, many are close to being fully booked.

All the events can be found here:

It looks like the first cast for Sweet Violets is (currently shown on ROH mistakingly as Polyphonia cast):

Alina Cojocaru

Laura Morera

Tamara Rojo

Leanne Cope

Johan Kobborg

Federico Bonelli

Steven McRae

Thiago Soares

Cast for Carbon Life is:

Olivia Cowley

Lauren Cuthbertson

Melissa Hamilton

Sarah Lamb

Marianela Nuñez

Ryoichi Hirano

Paul Kay

Steven McRae

Eric Underwood

Edward Watson

Proceeds from the event will help maintain Ivy House, Pavlova's former home, and a donation will be made to the bursary fund at RBS. Both very worthwhile causes in my opinion. I've heard cast and performance details will be published as soon as is possible but it will no doubt be a fantastic evening!

The event is part of Pavlova2012, a week of events in June at Ivy House (as well as around London in the summer) to celebrate Anna P making it her home in 1912. Details of the events are here:
