Georgina Pazcoguin has been a dancer in the New York City Ballet for nearly two decades and has been a soloist since 2013. She has danced the role of Anita in Jerome Robbin’s West Side Story Suite many times and made her Broadway debut in the revival of Cats. She has been nominated for two Chita Rivera Awards and won the Mae L. Wien Award for Outstanding Promise. She grew up in Altoona, Pennsylvania and lives in New York City, and a half hour with her will shake your stereotype of uptight ballerinas to bits.
