Kaneko
London - Japanese dancer Fumi Kaneko has expressed joy over her recent
promotion to principal dancer with the U.K.'s The Royal Ballet, saying it
"feels like a dream."
"I am still surprised and it hasn't sunk in," said Kaneko, 29, in an
interview Wednesday, after The Royal Ballet announced the previous day her
promotion to principal - a top-ranking dancer who often plays a leading
role.
Kaneko, who is set to appear as the principal in Christopher Wheeldon's
"Within the Golden Hour" on Thursday, said she "couldn't believe it" and
that she had cried tears of joy when told the news.
