Kyle Froman, NYCB Dancer & Dance Photographer — Embracing Multiple Passions | Pushing Over the Box
Kyle Froman spent 14 years at New York City Ballet before walking away to become a photographer — and the moment he decided to leave came down to a single opportunity in Copenhagen and a rumor about firings that may never have even been true. His story about finding a second passion inside your first one is one of the most honest conversations this podcast has had.

They discuss how he discovered photography while still dancing at NYCB, what it really felt like to leave the company and start over, and the advice he'd give his younger self about being more than just a dancer.
