Guest Artist – Michael Galloway
JDU is proud to announce our Guest Artist for Nutcracker 2011 – Micahel Galloway, from Company C Contemporary Ballet. Michael Galloway is originally from Madison, AL. Throughout his childhood he studied music, but did not begin his dance training until age 17. After graduating from the Alabama School of Fine Arts, he accepted a scholarship to study at Butler University with many notable teachers including Marek Cholewa, Susan McGuire, Cynthia Pratt, and Derek Reid. With the Butler Ballet he has performed the title roles in ballets such as La Vivandière and Les Sylphides, as well as the pas de trois in Swan Lake and the evil stepsister in Cinderella.
He has also danced original works by numerous choreographers such as Cynthia Pratt, Susan McGuire, and Thomas Lewey. Additionally he performed in Butler Theatre productions as well as the Oranje Festival, an all night performance of interactive multimedia, music, and improvisational dancing. After four years with Butler Ballet he spent one season with Tulsa Ballet where he performed in Raymonda, Swan Lake and The Taming the Shrew. He is now currently dancing as a soloist with Company C Contemporary Ballet.
