We are proud to announce that Northwest Dance Theatre will be offering a Character Workshop with Leonid Shagalov on February 17th, 2017, from 6-7:30pm and 18th 5-6:30pm at June Taylor’s School of Dance! Character dancing is a rich form of dance requiring artistry, musicality, and full commitment to the form, which is also a staple of many classical ballets. We are honored to host this event so young artists in Intermediate 1 and 2 or of equivalent training from across the Portland Metro Area can benefit from the opportunity to study with Mr. Shagalov. After receiving his training at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and the State University of Theatrical Arts in Moscow, Mr. Shagalov performed with many companies including the Moscow Academic Light Opera and the Beriozka Academic Dance Company of Russia as a soloist and a principal dancer. Mr. Shagalov has been the character dance instructor for the prestigious San Francisco Ballet School since 2004.
