Erin Bomboy has been writing about dance since 2013. She trained as a classical ballet dancer and spent a decade as a professional competitive ballroom dancer. She holds an MFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from New York University Tisch School of the Arts, where she was mentored by Deborah Jowitt. She lives in New York City with her husband, daughter and fabulous Maine Coon cat. In her free time, Erin enjoys bacon, books, wine and working out.
Combining musicians and dancers on stage, American Modern Opera Company’s How to Fall Apart filters the bombast of dramatic opera through the esoterica of downtown dance.
Over twenty-two vignettes, some long, others short, a cast of thirty pedestrianizes ballet. The work suggests that who you are matters more than what you do.
American Ballet Theatre shows its range with pieces from George Balanchine, Alonzo King, and Jessica Lang, but the dancing and choreography remain uneven throughout.
