+ Benjamin Girard; founder of BG Ballet and its current ballet master. imported Fuyuko from a corps position at Birmingham Royal Ballet in 2012 and has since promoted her to soloist. prefers to use her in his small Balanchine repertory and his bigger contemporary repertory, but has slowly begun easing her into more classical roles. they have a complex relationship, since Fuyuko - like most ballet dancers - dreams of an eventual principal position and can only see it slip further and further away from her, as he doesn't cast her in many of the leading roles, not even those she sees herself as a perfect cut for. at the same time as she's disappointed in this development, she is eternally grateful for the move from the UK to Luxembourg and thrives at BG Ballet. + Heidi Dehne (married Girard); former Hamburg Ballet soloist and now principal with the BG Ballet. Benjamin's wife and mother of his two twin girls. has returned from maternity leave and is only getting better. a celebrated interpreter of the dramatic roles such as Odette/Odile, Giselle and Juliet that she used to dance at the Hamburg Ballet. is almost always first cast when Benjamin stages new ballets and has had several original choreographies created for her by him. she's sweet and friendly to all, but Fuyuko still doesn't like her much. like a prototype German, she's hardworking and serious when in rehearsal or on stage. + Claude Bérubé; former Paris Opera Ballet sujet and current star of the BG Ballet. was imported to BG Ballet around the same time as Fuyuko and she has been able to follow his rise to fame from the beginning. he is an all-round talented dancer who can do the classical, dramatic ballets as well as modern, storyless ones. he struggles with the Balanchine rep and has yet to get first cast in any. Fuyuko is in love with him and thinks he's the greatest partner on the European ballet scene currently. she dreams of one day being partnered by him in a piece, something that has yet to happen. unfortunately for her, he's gay through and through and in a committed relationship to another man. + her dressing room mate. + her coach. + her ex-boyfriend.
