11 Promotions at NYCB!

Congratulations to the gaggle of New York City Ballet dancers who were just promoted! No fewer than 11 of the company’s finest are feeling pretty great today. Here’s the rundown:

Adrian Danchig-Waring
, Chase Finlay and Ask la Cour are now principals.

Lauren King
, Ashley Laracey, Megan Lecrone, Lauren Lovette, Justin Peck, Brittany Pollack, Georgina Pazcoguin and Taylor Stanley are now soloists.

We’re just about bursting with happiness for all of these lovelies—I mean, the list is basically a rundown of our NYCB faves. But we’re especially glad for Miss Lauren Lovette and Mr. Taylor Stanley, our September 2010 cover stars, who we’ve been rooting for from the very beginning.

Just look how young and adorable they were at their cover shoot! And now they’re all growed up. We feel like proud parents. *sniff*
