"Flesh and Bone" Now Available on DVD and Blu-ray
Chances are you’ve heard a lot about Starz’s “Flesh and Bone” over the past year, from its casting choices (22 professional dancers make up the show’s fictional ballet company) to Sarah Hay‘s Golden Globe-nominated performance as a talented yet troubled young dancer who runs away from an abusive home to join a New York City ballet company.
But have you seen it yet? For those who have been eagerly waiting, here’s a piece of welcome news: the series was recently released on DVD and Blu-ray. Full disclosure: due to depictions of graphic sexuality and drug use, this show has a MA rating and is not for kids. But while the show’s mature content and dark themes don’t always present the ballet world in the best light, there’s no doubt that it also features some pretty great dancing—as evidenced in the exclusive behind-the-scenes clip below. The video provides a glimpse of choreographer Ethan Stiefel working with the dancers on two ballets: Balanchine’s “Rubies,” and a new work that Stiefel created for the series.
