In entrance of McCaw Hall\u2019s pink curtain, Boal introduced out every dancer separately to announce and congratulate their promotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMadison Rayn Abeo is from Seattle, WA. After several years in our school, which included a star turn as Gretel in Hansel and Gretel<\/em>, Maddie became an apprentice in 2016,\u201d Boal defined. \u201cHer exacting technique and clarity of movement was evident in Donald Byrd\u2019s Love and Loss<\/em>. Her luminous presence enchants as the Sugar Plum Fairy in George Balanchine\u2019s The Nutcracker<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of Dammiel Cruz-Garrido from Queens, NY, Boal mentioned, \u201cHe grew up studying at the School of American Ballet (SAB) while spending summers at PNB, eventually moving to Seattle. An apprentice since 2016, Dammiel has stood out for his dramatic intensity in Ulysses Dove\u2019s Red Angels<\/em> and his classical reserve and chivalrous partnering as Cavalier opposite Cecilia Iliesiu in The Nutcracker<\/em>. He is always eager to work with our students and to encourage others in rehearsals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another new soloist, Christopher D\u2019Ariano of the Bronx, NY, additionally grew up at SAB, spending summers in Seattle and turning into an apprentice with PNB in 2017. \u201cAt home in both classical and contemporary work, Christopher has been a favorite of choreographers with memorable performances in works by Alejandro Cerrudo, Robyn Mineko Williams and Twyla Tharp,\u201d Boal mentioned. \u201cThis talented artist is also a gifted choreographer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boal added, \u201cAmanda Morgan is from Tacoma, WA. After several years of study in our school, Amanda joined PNB as an apprentice in 2016. Standout performances include Alonzo King\u2019s The Personal Element<\/em> and Dewdrop in The Nutcracker<\/em>. Offstage, Amanda is a co-founder of PNB\u2019s student mentorship program, an artistic collaborator and choreographer of note, and an advocate and activist for racial and social justice in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Poppe, who hails from Lake Stevens, WA, is one other new soloist. \u201cWith Maddie Abeo, he studied at Cornish College and later at PNB before becoming an apprentice in 2013,\u201d Boal defined. \u201cHis sunny presence, soaring jumps and rock-solid partnering have earned him an impressive range of roles. Highlights include Little mortal jump, Cacti, Afternoon Ball, and Puck in A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>. Christian has always approached his work with unwavering dedication and deep commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Boal welcome the subsequent latest soloist, Leah Terada, initially from Dallas, TX, who educated at SAB and PNB earlier than turning into an apprentice in 2015. \u201cDuring her time in the company, she has inspired numerous choreographers. Signature roles include One Thousand Pieces, Future Memory and Plot Point. Leah\u2019s devotion to technique and artistry is never-ending, and her collaboration with partners and choreographers offers a lesson in creation.\u201d<\/p>\n
