Figure Skating

NYC Rollerbladers held our first event on Oct. 1, 2023 at Randall's Island. Those in attendance were Matt, Trudi, Phylicia, Gilbert, Daniela, Bimbola, Jyllian, Kim, Nayarett, and Carlos. Our group now has over 1000 members on Meetup and over 700 on Whatsapp. This event will mark our two-and-a-half year anniversary. Meet on Randall's Island at bus stop "Main Roadway/Icahn Stadium." How to get there: Take the 6 train to 125th St stop. Walk to M35 bus stop at Lexington Avenue and 125th St. (right by the subway). Take M35 bus to "Main Roadway/Icahn Stadium" stop (5 stops). **Note: This is a beginner event but not an absolute beginner event. You should at least be able to stand on skates, move from one place to another, and brake (not T-stop necessarily, but at least plow stop). If you cannot do these things, please do not attend. If you do, you will be endangering not only yourself but also those around you. We will be going slow on inclines/in general.** Rain date is the following day.

**Hello Fellow NYC TAOP Members** Leica Gallery New York will host an intimate artist panel with Henry Leutwyler, Diana Markosian, and Kylie Shea in conjunction with their Ballet exhibition. Beginning at 11:00 am, the conversation will bring together Leutwyler's decades-long backstage perspective on dance, Markosian's emotionally driven work rooted in her own ballet history, and Shea's evolving Leica self-portrait series that translates movement into photographic storytelling. Set within the newly opened Ballet show, which runs Feb 19-Mar 29, the panel offers a rare chance to explore how each artist interprets discipline, vulnerability, and performance through the lens, with a special focus on collaborations around Misty Copeland's final bow.
