Matthew Neenan has been named Pennsylvania Ballet's choreographer-in-residence. Neenan, who has mounted eight ballets for the troupe, was a dancer in the company starting in 1994, and retired following the opening program of the ballet’s 44th season. His ninth commission with the Pennsylvania Ballet is slated for June 2008 (on a program with the local premiere of Christopher Wheeldon’s Carnival of the Animals).

Bravo to Matthew. When we moved to Philadelphia in 2001/2002, our daughter attended the Rock School and was fortunate to participate in many Nutcracker and other ballet performances requiring dancers her age (9-11 at that time). Matthew was always gracious with the kids and we always appreciated it.
As an aside, my daughter is no longer dancing but is playing the harp. You may not remember, but you saw her and a few other girls playing at Rittenhouse Square a couple of summers ago.
Always enjoy reading your blog.
