At the junior company’s week-long residence at the Joyce Theatre, the dancers tackled a range of classical and contemporary repertoire, including several works from emerging choreographers, including dancers Brady Farrar and Tiler Peck. Through the nine-work program, they proved their potential.

The pas d’action from “La Bayadère” opens the show, and it is the stronger of the two truly classical works performed. Sooha Park, as Gamzatti, has a sparkling stage presence and an easy extension; her arabesques and développés are pristine, as are her controlled pirouettes. Her partner, Geonhee Park, as Solor, is strongest in his solo variation, with big, airy jumps. The greatest opportunity for the small cast, which is rounded out with Chloé Hoffmann  (a trainee at the JKO School), Delfina Nelson-Todd, Ptolemy Gidney, and Younjae Park, lies in their performance and their partnering, which at times is marked by hesitation. 

“Grand Pas Classique,” which Kiera Sun and Xavier Xué perform in the second act, is the other tutu variation in the program. It’s a challenging one, which leads to some delays in the first variation (which, admittedly, is no walk in the park for even more seasoned dancers). Sun and Xué, similar to their peers in “Bayadère” are most confident in their solos; Sun’s ballonné-développé-pirouette sequence is particularly precise.
