It’s February—the month of love! So, we decided to give an extra shout-out to some of our favorite dance crushes.
Sophie Holloway: This Aussie’s ‘ography is perfectly precise and oh so fierce. We can’t get enough of her cinematic Insta-videos throughout the year and behind-the-scenes antics with her fellow Radio City Rockettes during the Christmas season.
Khori Petinaud: You know the dancer you can’t take your eyes off in class? That’s Khori. She’s currently cancan-ing in “Moulin Rouge: The Musical” and, when she’s not performing, you’ll always find her in class at Broadway Dance Center. Whether on the stage or in the studio, Khori inspires others everywhere she goes.
Georgina Pazcoquin: AKA @rogueballerina. A soloist at New York City Ballet, Georgina has also graced Broadway in CATS and FX’s limited series, “Fosse/Verdon.” No matter what style she’s tackling, Georgina brings her stunning technique, vivacious spirit, and artistic abandon to everything she does.
Stevie Doré: Stevie is kind of Yanis Marshall’s muse (#goals). We are obsessed with Stevie’s Insta-vids and can’t quite understand how she dances so flawlessly with her hair down and in such high stilettos. Stevie makes every movement simultaneously effortless and captivating.
Beth Nicely: We’ve talked about this powerhouse on the blog before. #Poptap creator, Beth, reminds us of the Energizer Bunny—with more rhythm. This former Rockette and Broadway showgirl choreographs fun (and fast!) tap numbers to some of our favorite pop songs. Be sure to follow @poptapnyc to follow along.
There are so many more amazing dancers out there and we want to hear from you! Let us know your major dance crushes in the comments section below. And this month, we encourage you to compliment another dancer in class or at an audition. Spread the love this season—and always!
