Famed ballerina Dvorovenko’s second act
Retirement from American Ballet Theatre is working out for Irina Dvorovenko.The Ukrainian ballerina immediately became a Broadway star last summer in the musical “On Your Toes.” Now she’s set to reach an even bigger audience as the star of a Starz cable-TV show about the
dance world, “Flesh and Bone.”
Dvorovenko — the only ballerina asked to pose for Playboy (ABT said no) — is signed on for eight episodes of the show, created by “Breaking Bad” producer Moira Walley-Beckett. Filming starts in April.
The ballerina’s proud husband and frequent dancing partner, Maxim Beloserkovsky, told me that Dvorovenko’s “On Your Toes” co-star Christine Baranski became her mentor and urged her to get an agent: “Christine told her, ‘You have so much more to share with the world than just your dancing.’ ”
* Irina shouldn't have any problem doing full-frontal nudity. In fact she will prove to be a valuable cast member and nudity mentor for the other three girls. I just feel it the writers will include a cheeky nude dance solo by one of the girls in an episode. No two ways about it: the pilot is going to series. It would be low-key show among the juggernauts but could be the surprise package that finally put STARZ on the way to becoming the adult alternative to Lifetime for female demo.
