In the Wings: Behind the Scenes at the New York City Ballet

I loved this book! Kyle gives a unique inside perspective into the mysterious behind-the-scenes world of professional ballet from the arduous hours of practice to the beauty that results on stage at the end of the day. I had the fortune of meeting Kyle more than 20 years ago early in his dance career. He was extremely talented of course, but sweet, humble, funny and relatable. . .someone you want to be friends with. I felt these same qualities shine through in his writing and beautiful photographs. As a former dancer, this book reignited the flame for dance I once had and has inspired me to seek more dance related content. I vow to go see a New York City Ballet performance before I die! My only complaint. . .I was sad for it to end.

I wish this book would have received more attention upon its release. It is a fabulous book of photographs and commentary from someone, a dancer, on the inside at New York City Ballet and is filled with images, wonderful images, that one would likely not otherwise see in any other ballet book. For the fan of NYCB it's a must have, but would be equally at home on the shelf of any ballet or photography fan. Mr. Froman has produced a keeper. Bravo!!!

Unfortunately, my book arrived with the front cover ripped and wrinkled, so I sent it back. So disappointing. However, I was able to look through it and while I agree it's an interesting read, I do not recommend it for younger readers... Several of the photos leave little to the imagination, including frontal nudity (top half) of a female dancer. I understand the artistic eye, but it's not necessary for a girl who loves ballet to have access to that visual.

This book gives the reader a wonder view of what a day in the life of a dancer.

I always thought rehearsal pictures are more interesting than performance pictures. This book is my best source so far of nice behind-the-scenes and rehearsal pictures. I use it as inspiration for art projects.

A window into the NYC Ballet from behind the scenes. Done with reverence and love. All NYC Ballet fans will appreciate this book.

Beautiful photo's . I really enjoyed it and wish there was a lot more!

Being an amateur ballet photographer, I am jealous of the access Kyle got, but he has the talent to capture the dance.
