Ryan Steele is the beautiful, beautiful dancer who played Specs in Newsies - the one who just looks like a ballet dancer if you've watched any of their performance videos. Also, Out Magazine: Ryan Steele in Bed
He's dating Matt Doyle (Gossip Girl, Spring Awakening, Private Romeo, Book of Mormon, various adorable performances immortalized on YouTube) And when I checked on twitter just know, someone had replied to Matt with a ship portmanteau, which I hope, hope, hope was a friend of theirs doing it to be funny, but I don't think that's the case. Urgh.
I haven't watched the trailer because my internet (and phone, and TV, boo) are out for however long this network outage takes to resolve. I really like the part where the automated voice fold me that a customer service Representative wouldn't have any more information and then asked if I'd like to speak to one.
The classic tale of finding success and romance in the big city is given a contemporary, and unconventional, spin in Alan Brown's new film, FIVE DANCES. Collaborating with internationally renowned choreographer Jonah Bokaer, writer-director Brown has taken five gifted New York dancers, and fashioned a story about Chip (Ryan Steele in his first film role), an extraordinarily talented 18 year-old recently arrived from Kansas who joins a small downtown modern dance company. In his first weeks of rehearsal, Chip is initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer's life, where discipline and endless hard work, camaraderie and competitiveness, the fear of not being good enough, and the joy of getting it just right, inform every minute of every day.
Shooting in and around a Soho dance studio, Brown and his longtime cinematographer Derek McKane capture the exhilaration and emotional turmoil of a small dance company, and all of Chip's poignant firsts—the forging of friendships, being chosen for the important solo, his first ever love affair—with the intimacy and immediacy of a documentary. The result, FIVE DANCES, is Brown’s most dynamic film.
