OK, so “most memorable year” isn’t usually the stuff inspiring dances are made of. It makes me think of a cheesy recital-opening group number that you have to be in with the pre-ballet girls before you can do your solo. However, “Dancing with the Stars” always delivers, so we can cut right to the good […]

If you’ve seen ABC’s “black-ish,” you’ll recognize Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, one of the sitcom’s youngest stars. But though he’s just 10 years old, Brown (aka “Baby Boogaloo”) isn’t new to the spotlight.

Now, our girl CamCam is onto even bigger things: She was just cast as Selina Kyle—a young Catwoman, […]

In this episode, we get to see what really goes into dancing a full-length story ballet. And Swan Lake is no ordinary ballet, especially for the lucky dancers chosen to perform the coveted role of Odette/Odile. Even just watching these ballerinas rehearse is exhausting—but it’s also breathtaking. FUN FACT: New York City Ballet only did […]
