... that during her early career, ballerina Indiana Woodward danced the lead role in La Sylphide, replacing an injured dancer? Source: "Last winter she performed the title role in La Sylphide after another dancer became injured, but nevertheless presented a richly nuanced Sylph, drawing on her Russian training as well as her Balanchinian speed and brio." ([1])
ALT1:... that Indiana Woodward was promoted to principal dancer at the New York City Ballet soon after the company resumed performances since the COVID-19 pandemic? Source: "The soloists Unity Phelan and Indiana Woodward will become principals, and Roman Mejia, a member of the corps de ballet, will rise to the rank of soloist, the company said in a news release. The promotions come at a time when City Ballet has been back onstage for just over two weeks, performing for vaccinated, masked and often ebullient crowds." ([2])
New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Earwig and spot checks found no copyright issues. NPOV, and no BLP issues. The hooks are just about interesting enough (trimmed/tweaked the first one), and there is nothing more exciting in the article. Both are well cited, as is the article generally. Good to go.
