 Having developed solid, ballet technique at the Contra Costa Ballet Centre as a young child, Shannon Parker began her professional career in 1986, with San Francisco Ballet where she danced extensively in the Balanchine repertoire, performing many principal roles in ballets such as Tarantella, Serenade, Tchaikovsy Pas de Deux, Theme and Variations, Rubies and Bugaku. Ms. Parker also danced Princess Aurora in Helgi Tomasson’s Sleeping Beauty, The Ballerina in Jerome Robbins’ The Concert, as well as the lead role in In the Middle Somewhat Elevated.
After eight years with San Francisco Ballet, Ms. Parker continued her career with Northern Ballet Theatre in England, dancing lead roles such as Juliet in Massimo Marricone’s Romeo and Juliet, Mina from Dracula and Odette and Odile from Swan Lake, both created and choreographed by Christopher Gable and Michael Pink. She also created the role of Anne Bronte, as well as danced the role of Charlotte Bronte in Gillian Lynne’s The Brontes.
In 1999, Ms. Parker joined Ballet Du Rhin in France where she danced all of the Company’s leading roles, including Odette and Russian Pas de Deux from Bertrand D’At’s Swan Lake, and Lucinda Child’s Mandarin, Dance and Chamber Symphony, in addition to many others.
In 2004, Ms. Parker returned to Northern Ballet Theatre where she currently teaches its pre-professional division, intermediate and senior associates, as well as students of the Northern Ballet School. Ms. Parker is excited to bring back to CCBC students the knowledge and experience she has gained throughout her illustrious career.
