Recommended Podiatrist (Foot Doctor) for RSB/RYBC is Jennifer A. Rossi, DPM. A dancer's foot is a most important part of his/her training. If you are experiencing any type of foot issue (think bruised toenails etc..) Dr. Rossi is the person to call. If you are wondering ...yes, she is Renee Rossi's (former RSB Faculty) sister.
Dr. Rossi's cards can be found @ the RSB Front Desk.
Thanks...Marc Anthony Photography (formerly known as World Photography) for their professional photography found throughout this website & in RSB brochures / press materials.
