What a young talented people all these dancers are! I specially wanted to see Sae-Eun Park as she astonished me in last Prix de Lausanne 2007 where she was the winner and I was not disappointed at all, I loved her in Balanchine, in the neoclassical piece Continuo that I liked very much and in Classic Raymonda. She has all needed to be a perfect ballerina, the line, the technique and the soul, to be followed because she already is a great dancer.

The couple Meaghan Hinkis - Joseph Gorak made a great Quijote PdD, both very sure, communicating so well with a delighted audience in this so demanding excerpt.

A varied program where all could show off and that audience liked very much.

What a chance to have Terrassa because in Barcelona's Opera House, Liceu, the ballet has been erased. My next appointment there is with artists from the English National Ballet.

You can visit CriticalDance topic about them here.

I haven’t been able to find info about the Studio Company in the ABT's web page, can anyone put the direct link? I would be very grateful

It's actually called ABT II now, not the Studio Company. You can find the bios here, though not all have been update yet:
