Oh, Rob Gronkowski: Bless your big, burly heart. Why are we talking about Gronk? Well, for starters, he isn’t a complete stranger to dance: The Patriots tight end—who graces the latest cover of GQ—is possibly as well-known for his twerking abilities as for his truly impressive work on the football field. And since the whole […]
A charmingly natural actress, Miami City Ballet corps member Samantha Galler has already tackled some of the ballet world’s biggest characters, mastering complex roles with subtle finesse.
