🌟 DANCER PROMOTED TO SOLOIST! 🌟 Vinicius Lima has been promoted to Soloist from Demi-Soloist. Vinicius Lima is from Vitoria, Brazil. He joined the Ballet West Academy as a Trainee in 2016 and Ballet West II in 2018. He was promoted to the main company in 2020. With Ballet West, Lima has danced roles in Cranko’s Onegin, Lubrovich’s Concerto Six Twenty-Two, Laplane’s Galantheae, and Nunes’ Orange, among many others. “Coming from where I come from, with a childhood full of limitations and barriers, I couldn’t ever imagine getting this far. The love and support that I was raised in from my family helped me build belief and resilience towards myself and my dreams. Life usually makes sense in reverse and looking back I am beyond grateful for every single person and the opportunity and life experiences that have shaped me to the artist I am today. I also would like to thank Adam Sklute for seeing something special in me and my dancing and for giving me the platform to share my art with the world. I am excited for this new chapter and for everything that it will bring to my life,” Lima said.
