    Of course, once he was promoted to First Artist, Matthew Ball was promoted a further step every year.

    This is Vadim's second win and, this time, there was apparently noone on the jury who is in any way connected with him. I have to withdraw my earlier scepticism and apologise for it.

    I've just spotted on Facebook (via a post congratulating him) that Vadim Muntagirov has won the male dancer award at the Benois. Wow - what a year he's having!

    Leo Dixon joined as an Aud Jebsen Young Dancer in 2015 and was taken into the company in 2016. Joseph Sissens joined the company direct from the RBS in 2016.

    I am astonished that Morera has not been cast as Natalia Petrovna in Month in the Country this June. The role seems made for her (with Muntagirov or Ball).

    I saw this live in Barcelona. I think that Dubreuil is even better this time round.

    There should be some exciting debuts in Swan Lake - and in other ballets next season.

    Yuhui Choe went from First Artist to First Soloist but that was a long time ago. The dancers on your list who I have 'bolded' have certainly been given significant opportunities/prominence during the 2018/19 season.

    I hadn't either. Liverpool had come to London. Lovely! And the performance was very special. However, recently, there was a much larger crowd (with stage Door staff providing supervision/control) after a performance of Don Quixote by Nunez and Muntagirov.

    Since when has there been a quota system? Noone left when Ball was promoted. I take the point and I'm not mounting a campaign for Kaneko (or anyone) but Francesca Hayward was promoted before she danced the lead in one of the classics.

    A series of 'knock-out' performances by Marcelino Sambe combined with yesterday's stunning Medusa from Fumi Kaneko (on top of her knock-out Kitri) have prompted me to start thinking about RB promotions this year. There seem to be so many 'candidates' at all levels. More in due course but I thought that it was time to open a thread.
