This achievement earned him a scholarship to the prestigious <em>Kirov Ballet School<\/em>, where he studied under Vladimir Dioulouhadze and Anatoli Kucheruk from 2007 to 2010. He repeated his success with another bronze medal in 2008.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, Constantine decided to explore a different style, studying under Peter Pestov and Tadeusz Matacz at the <em>John Cranko School <\/em>in Stuttgart. His career soared in 2011 when he won the Grand Prix at the <em>Tanzolymp competition<\/em> in Berlin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh out of school, Constantine joined the <em>Stuttgart Ballet<\/em> as a corps de ballet member. Within six months, he was promoted to demi-soloist and in 2014, achieved the prestigious rank of principal dancer, rising swiftly through the ranks of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always seeking new challenges, he joined Les <em>Grands Ballets Canadiens<\/em> and later became a guest soloist with the <em>Dutch National Ballet<\/em>. In 2018, Constantine fulfilled a significant milestone by becoming a principal dancer with the Dutch National Ballet, where he continued to enchant audiences with his artistry and skill. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f3de098e79f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f3de098e79f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Constantine Allen\" class=\"wp-image-9404 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.leshivernales.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Constantine-Allen-danse.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/640;\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9408,"template":"","annee":[126,127,128,397],"class_list":["post-5799","danseur","type-danseur","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","annee-126","annee-127","annee-128","annee-397"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
