NYCBers, doing exciting things
|

Recently, two of my peers (current and former, respectively) at New York City Ballet, have launched wonderful new things into the world, driven by their love for dance and desire to share it.
Kyle Froman, who has been shooting photos backstage at NYCB for a number of years, has just published a book called In The Wings. Not only does it have photos from behind-the-scenes at NYCB, Kyle also orders the photos as they would appear over the course of a dancer’s day, and provides great text about that day to accompany the photos.
You can purchase his book from Amazon.com, or if you are in the NY-area, you can meet him at his book signing at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble on Nov. 25th.
Also, former NYCB-er Deanna McBrearty has taken her expertise as a dancer, and experience in dance-based workouts (she appeared in the New York City Ballet Workout DVDs and books, and is currently a fitness instructor) to bring the health benefits of dance to a broader audience.
She has started a new fitness regime called Balocity, which incorporates dance principles and techniques into her own new exercise program. She teaches her program at the Trump buildings on the Upper West Side of New York City, and has just released a DVD. There is an informative website for Balocity, rich with video and information about both the program and Deanna herself, and she is currently exploring distribution possibilities.
Way to go Kyle and Deanna!
