Get Up Close and Personal with NYCB Dancers

New York City Ballet’s awesome media department strikes again!

The company just posted a series of “screen test” videos to its YouTube channel, featuring interviews with eight of the company’s most charismatic dancers. What do they talk about? Well, everything, from their pre-show rituals to their adventures in scuba diving. It’s pretty fun to see the glamazons we worship onstage as normal, down-to-earth people (who love Center Stage, just like us!).

Here are a few of our favorites.
