    Is not Artists of the Company simply a euphemism for generic ballet dancers who are company members.

     

    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.

    To me it is amazing that only 2 RB dancers have active websites …

     

    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.)
