Love has bloomed at the National Ballet of Canada.
Principal dancer Greta Hodgkinson and first soloist Etienne Lavigne, who met while performing for the Toronto-based ballet company, were married last week.
Their intimate wedding, attended by family and friends, took place Friday at Graydon Hall Manor in Toronto, the National Ballet said Tuesday.
Rhode Island-born Hodgkinson has been a principal dancer with the National Ballet since 1996. She studied at the National Ballet School in Toronto and joined the company in 1990.
The graceful and elegant Hodgkinson has danced every leading role in the classical repertoire and is in demand as a guest artist overseas.
Lavigne, a Montrealer, joined the National Ballet in 1997 and was promoted to first soloist in 2007.
He has danced leading roles in Swan Lake, The Taming of the Shrew, The Sleeping Beauty and The Firebird.
They will dance together in the 2008-9 season in Twyla Tharp's In The Upper Room and George Balanchine's Symphony in C.
