Here's a good article about Kurt's brother, Kyle, who is a professional photographer of ballet. He traveled with the BETM tour and photographed that.

Ah, now it becomes clear - I liked Kyle's photos of Billy Elliot, even purchased two, but never put two and two together.

It seems the Froman family is very involved with dance, including elder sister Debbi Jo Utter, who started Kurt and Kyle off - combined, they are an 'Empire of Dance'.

Scroll down to see what Kurt's new project is.

Kurt recently posted this on Youtube (apologies if it has been posted before). It is a real 'blast from the past' from those of us who remember the 2nd National Tour.

And don’t forget, voted America’s Favorite Dancer, and mine, Lex Ishimoto in the back. Quite a class!
