    Oh that’s a shame she will be missed a very talented dancer.

    ABT is known for its athleticism, the Kirov for its precision….and SF Ballet for its management!

    Rojo is an extremely capable director and I’m very excited to see what she will bring to the SF company. Helgi Tomasson has been inspirational but understandably after 37 years a replacement was inevitable.
