Hello! I’m Ryan Wenzel. After discovering a passion for dance in 2010, I’ve seen as much of it in New York as possible. Some of my favorite choreographers include George Balanchine, Mark Morris, Merce Cunningham, and Paul Taylor. I write everything you see on this blog, and I’m also the dance editor of The Brooklyn Rail.
I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and graduated in 2007 from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. My first job was as an online editor for Details magazine. I’m now the online communications manager for Henry Street Settlement, a nonprofit social services, arts, and healthcare agency on Lower East Side that includes the Abrons Arts Center. I live in the East Village with Oscar, my Boston terrier.

Thanks, Rebecca! I love your blog as well. I’ve just added you to my blogroll.
I too grew up in the Midwest (Appleton, Wisconsin) and started ballet at the age of 4. I fell in love and found it to be a passion of mine as well. I look forward to reading your work.
Great blog, Ryan! But how about Eating George Balanchine installment #2? I’d love to see some of Adams’ recipes.
Thanks, Ken! We actually had to delay the Diana Adams dinner. I should have noted that in my first dinner post. It’ll now be held April 22. I’ll definitely blog about it!
