Sharon Wehner Dance - Welcome
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Ariole Alei Dance naturally evolved from the performance career of its Artistic Director, Ariole K. Alei. Born in Vancouver, Canada (birth name Sharon Elise Wehner) in 1961, Ariole K. Alei began dancing at the age of seven, graduating from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Professional Division. She also trained with the Banff Centre, School of Fine Arts and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival as a scholarship student. She toured internationally with the Anna Wyman Dance Theatre for three years including a New York City debut, and nationally with the Judith Marcuse Dance Company for two years including performance in the Calgary Olympics. During her ‘off contract’ periods, Ariole worked freelance in Vancouver with Iris Garland and in Toronto with “Encore! Encore!” historic dance reconstruction projects. The latter included her learning then teaching roles to Vanessa Hargrave as her stand in. As a company dancer, she consistently received accolades for her sensitive and grace-filled performances. " … danced by the special arms and legs of Ariole Alei " (André Paradis, Georgia Straight) “A floating solo for the gifted Ariole Alei is the most convincing artistic reason for its ongoing existence this company has seen in years." (Max Wyman, Vancouver Sun)
