| After
graduating in 1984 from the London School Of Contemporary Dance and the
Zurich Opera Ballet School in Switzerland, London born Pedro Sandiford
became Principle Dancer with the Singen Dance Theatre in Germany.
He
then moved back to Zurich where he reached the position of principle dancer
as well, by dancing the lead role of Othello with Y. N. O. Dance Theatre.
Thereafter, he became Head of Contemporary Dance at the Zurich Opera Ballet
School. After dancing with the Zurich Opera Ballet in the Opera Aida,
Pedro returned to London only to leave directly to take part in the Bi-Centennial
celebration in Paris, where he danced with the British contingent which
was choreographed by Lea Anderson.
His
next destination was Cardiff, Wales where he joined the National Dance
Company of Wales Diversions Dance Company. During his five year residence,
Pedro won critical acclaim for his choreographic expertise.
Mr.
Sandiford was commissioned by BBC Wales to choreograph and star in the
award winning film Sunny Spells A Game For Optimists, directed by Paul
Islwyn Thomas, and produced by Phil George. He thereafter went on to have
successful choreographic opportunities with HTV and S4C Wales.
