Emma Redpath, New York City Ballet’s newest apprentice, will make her debut this season, dancing in ballets such as Carnival of the Animals and the Firebird, as well as understudying the principal “yappy dog” role in the second act of Double Feature!
Ok, fine. Maybe she’s not the newest dancer with City Ballet, but she is sort of the unofficial mascot of the company. She’s a companion of one of the ballet masters here, and can be found socializing with dancers in the dancers lounge, strolling the hallways of the New York State Theatre, lunching at Fiorello’s with her colleague Biscuit (a dog friend who belongs to one of the pianists), and even overseeing important rehearsals (pictured above, giving principal dancer Andrew Veyette some pointers on his Jerome Robbins repertoire).
