#MeetABTMonday feature Garegin Pogossian (
@pogossian_garegin )!!! “Gary”, as we all call him, was born in lübeck, Germany, but grew up in Lyon, France. French is his first language; ”Not even a word of German! 😂” Gary was brought up by Armenian parents; Mom, a character dancer and Dad, an opera singer. “I tried both! But I was just better at dancing. I trained in ballet in Lyon from the age of 9 to 17 at the Conservatory of Lyon.” In 2014, Gary became a “Laureate” (prize winner)
@PrixdeLausanne . The following year he moved to NYC and joined
@ABTStudioCo where he climbed the pipeline to the
#ABTCorps ✨ Since joining ABT, a total highlight for Gary was getting to dance a duet with his childhood idol,
@HermanCornejo in
#Afterite . “I was so nervous at first, but it was the best time ever!” Fun(ny) Fact: “In my first few years of training, I avoided wearing dance belts. (Ballet Undergarments) I didn’t see the point and thought it was just for the aesthetic. After learning that lesson the hard way, I learned to appreciate them.” 😅
Pro Tip: “To help calm down my nerves before a challenging role, I always remind myself to listen to the music and just enjoy dancing with it.” | Video:
