Chloé Hoffmann, an ABT Studio Company Trainee, appeared alongside Delfina Nelson-Todd, Matteo Curley Bynoe and Ptolemy Gidney. Radetsky serves as Artistic Director of the ABT Studio Company, with Yan Chen as Rehearsal Director and Claire Florian as Managing Director, while Susan Jaffe leads American Ballet Theatre as Artistic Director and Barry Hughson as Executive Director.
