Miami City Ballet dancers exercise in other ways, outside of ballet, to keep in shape. One popular option is Gyrotonic, an exercise that guides users to simultaneously stretch and strengthen muscles and tendons while also articulating and mobilizing the joints. Lucky for MCB dancers, they don’t have to go too far…we have a Gyrotonic room right here in our building!
We recently caught up with principal dancer Jeanette Delgado during one of her sessions to learn more about this specialized exercise routine.
The May issue of W Magazine includes a photo spread by famed fashion photographer Bruce Weber called “First Ladies,” which features Miami City Ballet dancers and School students! This “portfolio of inspirational women” includes a breathtaking shot of Jeanette and Patricia Delgado in flowing dresses by Valentino and Burberry, along with photos of fashion icon Iris Apfel, Haitian human-rights leader Marleine Bastien, among others. Click here to see the image of the Delgado sisters, which was shot on the private beach behind Weber’s Golden Beach home. The magazine is on newsstands now, but before you run out and get it, listen in as the girls chat about their W experience.
In the third and final installment of Patricia’s interviews, she sits down with her sister and fellow principal dancer Jeanette Delgado. Listen in as Jeanette reminisces about growing up dancing in The Nutcracker at MCB and chats about her favorite parts of the Dewdrop role.
See Patricia and Jeanette perform in The Nutcracker this weekend.
