Stephanie Saland

It was my great pleasure to work with my long-time mentor Stephanie Saland on her website redo during the pandemic in 2020. A former principal dancer with New York City Ballet Stephanie's website needs included her biography, teaching information and her travel schedule. The goal for this project was to use her existing platform; WordPress and the result to be simple, clean, and easy to update. Stephanie's historical images were key to use but we added creative accents with Stephanie’s nature photographs. Stephanie's desire was to share her inquisitive nature through her "rabbit holes" page. Rabbit Holes holds links to her sources of inspiration as an artist and teacher.

During Stephanie’s 21year career with City Ballet, she was showcased in leading roles under Balanchine’s direction, as well as principal roles in Jerome Robbins’ repertoire which means we had incredible historic dance images to work with by photographers Martha Swope, Paul Kolnik and Daniel Sorrine. In addition, I incorporated more recent images from her cover shoot with Dance Teacher Magazine by Marcie Sillman with Photos by Lindsay Thomas.
