The New York City Ballet has reconfigured its roster with the promotion of 11 dancers, the company announced on Friday morning. Three of the dancers - Adrian Danchig-Waring, Chase Finlay and Ask la Cour - become principal dancers, and eight members of the corps de ballet are now soloists.
All the dancers were told about their promotions in meetings with Peter Martins, the company’s ballet master in chief, just before the Thursday evening performance of Mr. Martins’s staging of “The Sleeping Beauty.†The dancers have all held featured roles within the production, which runs through Sunday, and closes the company’s winter season.
The dancers who have been promoted to soloist are Lauren King, Ashey Laracey, Megan LeCrone, Lauren Lovette, Georgina Pazcoguin, Justin Peck, Brittany Pollack and Taylor Stanley.
The company’s spring season at Lincoln Center opens on April 30 at the David H. Koch Theater.
