Young Chichester dancers join the Russian professionals
Ballet teacher Natalia Shchelokova is a former principal ballerina with MCB; she settled in Chichester in 2007 and has been teaching ballet since 2012.
“Victor Smirnov-Golovanov, Moscow City Ballet’s founder and artistic director, always wanted to use local kids for the first act in The Nutcracker,” says Natalia. “We are fortunate to have the support of the current artistic director Ludmila Nerubashenko and all the company members to offer our students this opportunity to perform among professional artists.”
