Ballet
In my free time I like to do some classical
ballet. Here you see me during a performance a couple of years
ago.

Here are some pictures from a recent
project I did with my brother
Floris van Vugt.
Ballet is a supreme combination of art and exercise, in which you
become limber and graceful, and learn to control your body until
perfection, and also can be creative at the same time. I recently performed in a new age musical named
Planet Discord (February 2007).
I am very lucky to have had two very good
teachers in Philadelphia:
Kip Martin and
Sacha Boitsov.
Now I take class at the
Princeton Ballet School
with Mary Barton and Douglas Martin, and at Princeton University with
Ilana Suprun and Mary Barton.
I have also worked with a photographer (
Craig Rothfuss) on
some dance pictures (see below).
When I am dancing back in my hometown Almere, I go to
Balletschool Almere. I also take classes in Amsterdam at the
Henny Jurriens Stichting in Amsterdam. This is a place where you can take professional ballet and modern dance classes, with an excellent set of rotating teachers, and live piano accompaniment.
