"Dance lovers, here is your Rodeo Drive shopping spree, your Four Seasons spa day, your celeb-indulgence wrapped in intoxicating finery. All you need ask yourself is: Do I prefer my ballerinas in tutus or inball gowns? Here, the dramatic lighting and compressed storytelling of a Vogue shoot are paired with gorgeous creatures who seem to be floating, flying or balanced on nothingness." - The Washington Post
"A new book from NYC Dance Projects captures the stunning athleticism of ballet." - Self Magazine
"The photos capture the art and athleticism of some of today's best dancers with striking and intimate portraits." - CNN
"In The Art of Movement: NYC Dance Project, stars from the world of dance are captured in evocative poses that sometime suggest weightlessness or even flight. " - Photo District News
"What makes Browar and Ory's photos stand out is that they communicate not just movement, but interact with the viewer on a personal and emotional level. Their photographs are now gathered together in a sumptuous new book, The Art of Movement, where they have been beautifully reproduced and bound; a worthy frame to enhance their work. The book's title is a modest one, because the art of movement comes from their subjects, but it is the art of the photographer which captures it so vividly. Unputdownable." - Gramilano
"The hundreds of images in this volume defy the static limitations of the page with brilliant dynamism in a breathtaking homage to the art and beauty of the human form. It celebrates the dance community through visually stunning portraits in a magnificent compendium of their work." - Harper's Bazaar
