In the past few days I’ve been trying to come up with fun new ideas for my blogs. Seeing as The Winger aims to give a glimpse into the lives of dancers, I was trying to think along the lines of giving fans a way to know their favorite dancers away from the stage. Along came: Dancer Trading Cards!
When I was a child, I can think of nothing I would have liked more than to have trading cards of performing artists. The local gas station only sold Sports cards, and while I had an extensive X-Men collection, it still wasn’t quite the same. So over the next few months, I’ll be posting the very first (as far as I know) Dancer Trading Cards! Along with each card, the dancer will answer 15 Facts about themselves to give a glimpse into the person behind the dancer. I hope everyone enjoys! First up? Mr. Blaine Hoven.
1. Favorite New York Location:SOHO and Central Park
2. Favorite Restaurant: Houstons
3. If you could be on place in the world right now, where would it be? Amsterdam
4. Performance that changed your life: Performing Twyla Tharps In the Upper Room
5. Favorite Band: Maroon 5
6. Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movie: Bring it On
7. Favorite Book: Kite Runner
8. Favorite Comfort Food: Cheese Grits and Mashed Potatos
9. Childhood Idol: Blaine Wilson, Gymnast.
10. Favorite Role to Dance: The adagio in Stanton Welch’s “Clear”
11. Who would you want to play you in a movie? Johnny Depp
12. Favorite Artist: Keith Harring
13. Favorite Historical Era: The 80’s
14. If You Weren’t a Dancer, what would you be? Engineer
15. Where do you see yourself in 20 years? Designing roller coasters for six flags or any amusement company.
I am trying to use my own photographs, because you’re not really supposed to use other photographers work without their permission….so once I get in to get dance shots, you’ll have your wish
