capybara Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 He’s just put this on his Instagram account. Presumably as the Prix de Lausanne Apprentice 2020/21. Good news. Everyone must have made him offers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 The RB's Aud Jebsen dancers also know which of them will be joining The Royal Ballet next season but are not allowed to say yet! So Sumina has rather 'jumped the gun'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Dancer Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So glad he's going to Royal Ballet. I see that Matei Holeleu is going to English National Ballet which is good. I liked his performances of the Paquita variation and thought he had panache in the jumps. I wonder why Yuyan Wang has forfeited her apprenticeship. Does that happen often? I thought she also danced well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it some other reason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years the reason has been given and it has been because the candidate received an offer from another company. Other times, the reason has not been given but I assume it's for the same reason. Maybe the PDL don't want to promote the reasons, saving the spotlight for the prize recipients, but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Whoops ...he looked so young! Automatically thought of him as a final year student 🙄 Even better then if he is actually going to be in the Company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
