Natalya Vyashenko-Connor is the director of The Turning Pointe School of
Dance. Born in the Russian Federation in 1982, Natalya and her family moved
to the Republic of Uzbekistan when she was 5. At the age of 10, she was one
of a select few to begin professional dance training at the Department of
Classical Ballet Artistry at the National Academy of Ballet and Choreography
in Tashkent in the capital of Uzbekistan. Natalya teaches the Vaganova
method and dances Russian style with an emphasis on character dance. Natalya
began her professional performing career at the Alisher Navoi Great Academic
Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Tashkent. She has a degree in Choreography,
Director-Ballet-Master and Teacher of Classical Ballet. She launched her
teaching career in 2003. Some of Natalya's notable accomplishments include
teaching stage technique for the Opera Department of the State Conservatory
and composing choreography for independent dance groups. 

 

The Turning Pointe welcomes Dominic J. Moore as a new instructor this fall.
Moore teaches modern, jazz, tap and hip-hop at The Turning Pointe School of
Dance, home of the Ohio Youth Ballet. At only 19 years old, the Akron
resident already has danced with Edgeworks Dance Theater, Washington D.C.'s
premier all-male contemporary dance company of predominantly
African-American men. During that time, this talented dancer toured area
theaters including The National Theatre and the John F. Kennedy Performing
Arts Center.

A freshman at the University of Akron, Moore is working toward his bachelor
of arts in Dance with a minor in Administration. His training includes
dancing at Sharon Rae Performing Arts Center and Studio West Performing Arts
Centre, both in Akron. Moore also has taken intensives with Garth Fagan in
Rochester, N.Y. Fagan is the Tony-award winning choreographer of The Lion
King on Broadway, and while at an intensive Moore was offered a position in
the company.  

As for the future, Moore plans to dance professionally in a company. Later,
he plans to pursue his master's degree in Dance, as well as a PhD in Dance.
Ultimately, Moore says he would like to be the head director of a university
dance program to take on older students, shed a new light on dance, and
bring dancers opportunities to help them take the next step in their dance
careers.
