Hello Wingers!
I’d like to introduce you to Deborah Friedes. She may not need much of an introduction to many of you, as she already has a rich presence on the web including audio podcast interviews she does on Isreal Seen.
For those who are unfamiliar with her work, Deborah is a dancer as well as a dance researcher doing work with the American Dance Legacy Institute and Dancing Legacy. Deborah has recently received a Fulbright Grant to study contemporary dance in Israel, funded by the US-Israel Educational Foundation and hosted by the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. Can’t wait to hear more about the things she is discovering there.

Welcome Deborah!

Hello Wingers,I am honored and thrilled to introduce Ms. Kyra Nichols as our newest member of the family. Kyra was always one of my biggest inspirations growing up at SAB… everything she does is so natural and musical… while also technically amazing.
This past summer I had the wonderful opportunity of shooting a sort of documentary-style piece on Kyra’s retirement from 33 years at New York City Ballet (that’s where the photo above is from). It was such a fun experience getting to shoot her dancing, and also getting to talk to her about her life and career. She is definitely an incredible role model for aspiring dancers, enjoying an amazing career and a wonderful family.
Kyra has taught quite a bit throughout her career I believe, but now that she has officially left the NYCB stage, she is also giving private dance lessons. I kind of wish I was still dancing just so I could work with her!
Welcome Kyra!

Hello Wingers,
I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our Winger family, Dr. David Rosenthal. Dr. R is a chiropractor and certified Active Release Practitioner and has worked with dancers from many different New York-based companies and schools. Here he is, above, with a dancer from the Alvin Ailey School.
He wrote a fantastic introduction for his profile page about what he does and what he wants to share with us - I don’t think I could say it any better myself!
From Dr. R…
Hello to all. My name is Dr. David Rosenthal and I am a Chiropractor in New York City. I am extremely excited to be a contributor to the Winger. I have been practicing for 10 years and have been treating dancers for years. I treat performers from many Broadway shows such as “Chicago”, “Grease”, and “A Chorus Line”. I have also treated dancers from schools such as Alvin Ailey and the New Dance Group.
As dancers, you are some of the most agile athletes in the world. The daily grind of jumping, twisting and turning take a serious toll on your body. My goal is to give you information about different conditions that can affect your body. For example, I have experienced that knee pain does not necessarily mean you have a “knee problem”. Many times the pain can be referred from muscular dysfunction in the hip or thigh. I want to increase your “body awareness”. I want you to be able to identify a problem and know when treatment is necessary. With this information, you will have healthier dance lives and longer careers.
There is also an important disclaimer about his participation on The Winger that you will find on his profile page, but I will post it here as well:
This information and advice published or made available through the Winger web site is not intended to replace the services of a physician, nor does it constitute a doctor-patient relationship. Information on this web site is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. You should not use the information on this web site for diagnosing or treating a medical or health condition.

Welcome Dr. R!

Hi Wingers,
