sasha's a principal dancer with city ballet, until recently (late last year) he was living abroad with a different company, so his connections are either very new or go back 6+ years to the last time he was living in new york. neighbors on the uws--he has three roommates (all fellow dancers) sharing an apartment to be nearish licoln center)--for some sort of entertaining nonsense while he's on the rooftop engaging in his nasty smoking habit, someone he's hooked up with casually in the last six months or so and we let it go from there as a friendship of some sort, his photographer friend who is responsible for some of the more artistic parts of his social media presence, someone else who works at some part of lincoln center he's run into a lot and struck of an oddball relationship with--really anything you can think of at this point.
