Educating Our Dancers
SBC Company dancers, Trainees and dancers from the community had a wonderful week during our Summer Intensive Workshop Session II with Matthew Harvey and Madeline Jazz Harvey.
Matthew
danced as a trainee at North Carolina Dance Theatre, now Charlotte Ballet, and later joined Carolina Ballet Theatre. He has been featured as a guest artist with Olney Ballet Theatre, Piedmont School of Music and Dance, Universities of North and South Carolina, and in various cities across South America.
Madeline was a principal dancer with Carolina Ballet Theatre and is currently an assistant professor of dance at Colorado State University. She has an MFA in choreography from Jacksonville University, and also taught at the University of South Carolina.
Dancers took classes in classical ballet, pointe, contemporary ballet, variations, jazz, contemporary and composition. Matthew and Madeline also each set choreographic works on our Company dancers for
Rockballet.
Thank you Matthew and Madeline for educating and inspiring our dancers!
