A Peek Inside NYCB Travel Cases

Is there anything more exciting than peeking into the private world of your dance idols? Nope, I don’t think there is. That’s why we love these gorgeous photos by Barbara Anastacio for AnOther magazine, which capture the messy elegance of New York City Ballet dancers’ traveling cases.

The accompanying interview clues us in on the way the NYCB ladies choose to decorate or pack their home-away-from-home. It’s lovely and intimate to hear about the special notes and photos they carry, and, of course, always worthwhile to take notes about their pro tricks. An accupressure mat?! Who knew?

Enjoy the full spread here.
