Sophoife Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Ballet de Monterrey has announced a new Artistic Director. Thiago Soares is moving on and from January 2024 Yosvani Ramos will take up the position. He's extremely excited and pleased to have been named to this role. https://www.instagram.com/p/CzejF_Pv1HP/?igshid=b2IzZTNnMDh3M25h Ballet de Monterrey is in northern Mexico, about 500 miles south-west of Houston, Texas. Company of 60 (4 principals, 11 soloists, 34 corps dancers and 11 apprentices). There's an associated school. The company was founded in 1990 and past ADs include Fernando Alonso, Fernando Bujones, Luis Serrano (twice) and José Manuel Carreño. I'm extremely excited and pleased for him! 🤣 Edited November 11, 2023 by Sophoife Added company info 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I had a feeling when I saw the heading that Someone might be involved. Congratulations to him, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Change isn't completely unexpected as Thiago Soares' socials have certainly shown him involved with a lot of things outside the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophoife Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Every time someone says that, @capybara, I'm reminded of the Australian politician Pauline Hanson who, in a 1996 profile on 60 Minutes, was asked if she was xenophobic (she is) and replied in a flat, deadpan, very nasal Australian voice, "Please explain?"

Sophoife Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I wasn't sure if you knew to what @alisonwas alluding @capybara. Yes, I'm an out and proud fan of Mr Ramos. I'm also privileged to call him a friend (certainly not the usual case with a dancer one admires!) and yes, this year's Big Trip was engendered by his retirement as a dancer. I got to see three ballets I'd never seen before (Sinfonietta, Prodigal Son, Bruch Violin Concerto) in Colorado, and then I got to return to London (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty), Paris (Béjart triple) and Zürich, and visit Turin and see the Giro d'Italia - so thanks Yos 😘 Edited November 11, 2023 by Sophoife Added what I saw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I’m sure he’s been a teacher at Yorkshire Ballet Summer School too! If it’s the person I’m thinking about he was a very engaging teacher! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
