Recovering from a major sugar hangover right now? Here, this’ll make you feel better: Gaze in wonder at the Halloween costumes American Ballet Theatre’s dancers pulled out yesterday, which are seriously, seriously on point(e). Yes, we know—we already did our “best of” Halloween roundup. We already talked about the amazing Maddie thing that Heidi Klum […]
Us dancers are obviously not strangers to crazy costumes or lots of makeup—which is most likely why we love going all out for Halloween. And probably why dancer Halloween costumes are usually the best Halloween costumes. It’s been super fun to watch everyone get festive on our feeds today, so as a special Halloween treat, […]
Hi there guys and ghouls! Are you super excited for Halloween, the (IMHO) most wonderful time of the year? What’s that? You don’t have a costume because you’ve been too busy rehearsing for Nutcracker/Regionals/studying for mid-terms? Don’t worry, DS has your back.

(Not that we really need a reason to watch anything MJ-related on repeat, but you know.) This year, rather than just gorging on the original, I decided […]
We just couldn’t let the year end without giving one final shout out to Ellen Degeneres. Basically, she wins 2013. (But, let’s be honest, she pretty much wins every year.) One of the biggest non-dancers-in-support-of-dancers, Ellen’s shows are constantly bringing up-and-comers to the spotlight. Ellen, on behalf of dancers and dance lovers everywhere, we love […]
