It’s been a big news week for our favorite New York City Ballet couple, principals Robert Fairchild and Tiler Peck! First, it was announced that Peck will star in Susan Stroman’s new musical, Little Dancer, next fall at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center. Last year we heard that she was workshopping the title role, but we […]
Summer’s winding down and while you prepare to head back to school and the studio, we’re busy gearing up for the 2014 issues of Dance Spirit. But before we decide who will grace next year’s pages (and covers!), we want to hear about the dancers and choreographers you’re loving right now. To get you started, […]
You guys already know how much we love Lil Buck. (Our friends at Dance Magazine love him so much they put him on their August cover.) And one of the reasons the jookin’ sensation is so awesome is that his super-smooth, super-musical style incorporates an incredible be-sneakered version of pointework. Nobody can match Lil Buck’s […]
Here’s yet another reason to be jealous of New York City Ballet’s talented dancers: These days, it seems like they get to play dress-up in designer duds allllll the time!

The pint-sized ballerina, we learned, recently participated in the workshop for a new musical, Little Dancer, directed […]
Congratulations to New York City Ballet principals Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild! The gorgeous pair got engaged yesterday in Paris. From the looks of Fairchild’s Instagram photo, it was super romantic (of course): Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Isn’t dancer romance the best? (And the babies! Just imagine those beautiful, talented little babies…) Best wishes to the happy couple!
This year’s Dance Against Cancer poster features an original drawing by artist Keith Haring. A dance gala is always a good thing. But an impressively star-studded dance gala for a very important cause? It doesn’t really get better than that. The third annual Dance Against Cancer benefit, hosted by the American Cancer Society and produced […]
