The Winger is pleased to welcome Miss Gia Kourlas, of Time Out New York fame, into our happy family.
With her expertise in both the ballet and modern sides of the dance world, Gia will be recommending what she feels are notable performances (and occasionally books and DVD’s) in both styles, as well as those that fall somewhere in between.
Personally, having spent most of my career dedicated to ballet, I feel a bit overwhelmed when trying to choose what other dance companies to see. Usually I find out what’s interesting by word of mouth, which sometimes works well, and sometimes doesn’t. I couldn’t be more excited to have Gia’s recommendations and insight as a guide!
Gia’s Picks will initially come onto the site as regular posts, but can also be found on the left-hand side of the site, in the calendar on The Winger Board, as well as in our upcoming newsletters…
Our hope is to help make dance a bit more approachable and fun by arming you guys with insider info, expertise, and a bit of guidance for finding the best stuff.
Here’s to exploring dance in New York City!

o how i wish we could cover the globe with dance recommendations!! …
but we have to start somewhere
until then, i guess companies travel and so do people.
plus… those folks at article19 (http://article19.co.uk) sure do a heck of a job for those in the UK

How cool!!! I saw the link in the left side column yesterday and clicked on wondering what it was about, but it wasn’t up yet. So I don’t need to renew TONY subscript? ha ha — just kidding
very glad that she is here now too!
