No one knew quite what to expect when, in March 2025,
@nycballet announced that Royal Danish Ballet principal
@rtomash would be joining the company that fall, as a soloist. Tomash, who took a year of absence in Copenhagen to expand his horizons, was not well known in the U.S. He had not previously worked with either of NYCB’s choreographers in residence, Justin Peck or Alexei Ratmansky. He arrived in New York City as an unknown quantity.
But Tomash did not stay under the radar for long. Since his first performance last September, he has debuted in 18 roles, everything from the adagio movement in “Symphony in C” to Christopher Wheeldon’s “Continuum” to Jerome Robbins’ “Dances at a Gathering.” Tomash has originated roles in world premieres by Jamar Roberts and Tiler Peck, and danced in new ballets by Justin Peck and Alexei Ratmansky.
