Roland Sarabia

I am searching for former Boston Ballet member Roland Sarabia. Does anyone know where he might be now? Thank you.

Do you mean Rolando Sarabia, Daniel Sarabia's older brother? If you do, well Rolando has never been with Boston Ballet, although he has been offered a place there. Currently he is in Pompano Beach, Florida staying with Magaly Suarez, who owns and runs The Art of Classical Ballet School.

I can confirm this. "Roly" (as he is affectionately called) is training and dancing with Magaly at present. From what I understand, arrangements for next year are being finalized.

 

You can check out video clips of him dancing at:

Check out the Don Q and you'll get a sense why his defection is causing such a stir. Mind you, most of these clips are basically of him messing around in the studio.

He is in Houston and just signed with Houston Ballet as a principal. I was lucky and was allowed to see him work out on 2 different occassions for over an hour each time recently. The only reason I saw your post was because I was searching for more info about the people who are training him. He's hanging out with a small company that moved here from McAllen and is offering private coaching to dancers in training for professional careers. He's glorious to watch. My daughter, who is training, was inspired.
