Pacific Northwest Ballet School

The Pacific Northwest Ballet School has hired Kurt Froman to lead the school's men's division. Froman will teach, support and mentor students, and serve as a liaison with students' families. As a performer, teacher, choreographer, coach and mentor, Froman has worked in nearly every facet of the dance world. His professional dance career started in New York after he was awarded the first Rudolf Nureyev Scholarship which allowed him to study at the School of American Ballet. He later joined the New York City Ballet, where he danced from 1995 to 2002. His Broadway career started when he was cast in the lead role of the Twyla Tharp/Billy Joel show, “Movin' Out”. His additional Broadway credits include the revival of Pal Joey at Studio 54, City Center Encores! (“Juno” and “On Your Toes”), and Christopher Wheeldon's “An American in Paris”. Froman has been on faculty at Broadway Dance Center, Steps Conservatory and The School at Steps, as well as guest faculty at Barnard College and the University of Michigan. He has headlined the Friday night audition class for the New York City Dance Alliance and teaches company class on a weekly basis for New York City Ballet.
