Soca now Pa. Ballet principal

Cuban dancer extraordinaire Arian Molina Soca, a guest artist with Pennsylvania Ballet since April, has been named a principal dancer with the company, artistic director Ángel Corella announced at a Q&A Thursday night at the Cosmopolitan Club of Philadelphia. Formerly a principal with the National Ballet of Cuba - one of the top companies in the world - Molina Soca will now be wowing Philadelphia audiences regularly, as he did several times last spring, including as a high-jumping sailor in Jerome Robbins' Fancy Free. He got the job in 2015 fashion - by contacting Corella through Facebook. - Ellen Dunkel
