THE WINGER - Bringing together the global dance community via the internet.
THE WINGER is a community oriented dance website that shows the lives, insights, and personalities of PROFESSIONALS, STUDENTS, EXPERTS and PIONEERS in the dance world.
THE WINGER was created in an effort to help promote and popularize dance by connecting the audience to the artists in a personal and meaningful way. Our hope is that the information shared will educate more people about dance as an artform and as a lifestyle.

"Exclusive backstage photos and the ability to comment
on posts makes for a great interactive experience.
Warning: It’s absolutely addictive."
[Dance Magazine E-Newsletter]
"...tells [the] story of the day-to-day rigor
that goes into being a professional dancer
with wisdom and humor."
[Time Out New York]
The Winger was founded in the Spring of 2005 by Kristin Sloan, a dancer with the New York City Ballet who has a fascination with art and technology.
The Winger logo and site design are executed by Doug Jaeger, Founder and President of thehappycorp global.
We also have a forum, THE WINGER BOARD, where you can ask our contributors questions, and interact with other readers, and...THE WINGER SHOP where you can find Winger t-shirts, sweatshirts etc.
