Discovering the joys of dancing as a 13-year-old student at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, he performed as a professional dancer at Jacob’s Pillow Dance in the Massachusetts Berkshires the summer after completing his M.B.A. A resident of Flatiron, Torrence Boone sits on the Board of Directors of the Joyce Theater in Manhattan, which presents the arts of dance and choreography.
