KURT FROMAN REEL
Kurt Froman is currently Jennifer Lawrence's Ballet Trainer and the Associate Choreographer for the upcoming movie, "Red Sparrow" (2017), directed by Francis Lawrence. He recently finished performing in the Broadway hit, "An American In Paris", and was the original Dance Captain and swing. He was part of the core group of the Warren Carlyle Broadway workshop "Something Wonderful"- a tribute to Jerome Robbins' body of work and showing his ballets as well as his musical theater choreography. He was recently seen on the STARZ series "Flesh & Bone", featured in a ballet solo as "Young Paul" as well as a series regular as a Company Member. He trained Christina Ricci for several months and choreographed her solo en pointe for the Amazon series, "Z: The Beginning of Everything", and will remain the choreographer and ballet coach for the rest of the series. Kurt was the Resident Choreographer of "Billy Elliot, The Musical" on Broadway and the 2nd National Tour, and the Associate Choreographer for the film, "Black Swan", responsible for training and coaching Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, and overseeing the Corps de Ballet. Natalie Portman personally thanked Kurt in her Oscar Acceptance speech for their work together. Kurt has also taught ballet to actress Rooney Mara, and coached her movement for her role in the upcoming Terrence Malick film (currently known as "Project V"), as well as Vogue Magazine's "The Vogue 120". Kurt was invited to stage a work for the Paris Opera Ballet's Tribute to Jerome Robbins, and recently staged Benjamin Millepied's "Nutcracker" for Ballett Dortmund in Germany. He has worked on commercials- L'Oreal's "True Match" staring Zoe Saldana (Choreographer) and Domyos (Associate Choreographer), and has choreographed the ad campaigns, video shoots, and catalogues for Bloch dancewear for the past three years. Kurt has been on faculty at Broadway Dance Center and The School at Steps, and guest faculty at Barnard College and University of Michigan. He also has taught the past two years for the NYC Dance Alliance, headlining their Friday night audition class. Kurt's professional career started in New York after he was awarded the first Rudolf Nureyev Scholarship which allowed him to study at the School of American Ballet's "Special" Advanced Men's Class. After six months, Kurt was invited to join the New York City Ballet, where he danced senior corps de ballet and soloist parts for over seven years. His Broadway career started when he was cast in the leading role of "James" in the Twyla Tharp/Billy Joel show, "Movin' Out". Kurt was in the Broadway revival of "Pal Joey" at Studio 54, City Center Encores!- "Juno" and "On Your Toes", and did principal roles with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet at the Kennedy Center. Other TV/film work includes "Smash", the Biography Channel's "Biography - Natalie Portman: The Professional", "Black Swan" where he was the "Understudy to 'Siegfried'" and danced with Mila Kunis, "Across the Universe", "Center Stage", "SNL", and several "Live From Lincoln Center" telecasts.
