I have contacted the Dutch National Ballet press office about other promotions, as well as joiners and leavers, for the 2025-2026 season on 4th August. The press officers in charge of the ballet company are still on holiday. I will write up about them as soon as I hear back from the press office. Unofficially, I have heard about an amazing dancer will come back.
