Darren Anderson is one of the most popular and richest Dancer who was born on November 6, 1976 in Canada, Canada. Known for his appearances with and choreography for the Smuin Ballet, this award-winning dancer performed the choreography of such dance greats as Agnes De Mille and George Balanchine. His original choreographic works include Shiver and The Culprit (both for the Smuin Ballet).
His famous uncle, Norm Ullmann, had a career in professional hockey.
Anderson returned Canada to join the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in 2002, where he was Second Soloist with the company, and performed such roles as Uncle Drosselmeyer in “The Nutcracker”, the cat in “Puss in Boots”, and the dog in “Val Caniparoli’s Cinderella”. In the latter production, he played Carabosse, the wicked witch role that required him to dress in drag. He had a dominant stage presence infused with his theatrical and comedic abilities, which commanded attention. Another significant part for him was as Cinderella’s dog in “A Cinderella Story”, which gave him the reputation of being adept at portraying characters such as mystical and animal roles. It also identified his talent for injecting his roles with a compelling edge that, beyond just the dancing itself, delighted audiences. “It was Darren Anderson, en travestie as the wicked Carabosse, who almost stole the show.” Anderson was also known for his physicality, which proved pivotal in his roles, and his finesse in transitioning from classical works to contemporary works within a single season. “An exception to the company’s general constraint in attack was Darren Anderson’s Puss in Boots. Though also coulourlessly costumed, he danced with abandon within his character.” He gained wide respect for community outreach to increase interest in ballet across generations and to expose children to dance at an early age.
In August, 2008, Anderson joined Smuin Ballet, a company founded by Emmy and Tony Award winning choreographer Michael Smuin, who had previously served as the co-Director of the San Francisco Ballet. In Anderson’s five-year dance tenure with the company, he performed solos in such works as Petite Mort, “French Twist”, “Dancin’ with Gershwin”, “Dances With Songs”, and “Fly Me to the Moon”. He performed his final program with Smuin in May 2012, which included Val Caniparoli’s “Swipe,” Ma Cong’s “Through” and Michael Smuin’s “Symphony of Psalms”.
He grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as the son of Jean Anderson and Royal Canadian Army officer Gerald Anderson.
