Shakeil Rollock is a Toronto based dance artist. Starting dance at the age of seventeen, he mainly trained in urban styles. Later he was influenced to train in classical techniques including ballet, contemporary and modern techniques. Now a graduate from The School of Toronto Dance Theatre, Shakeil has greatly appreciated working with choreographers such as Louis Laberge-Côté, Allen and Karen Kaeja, Draico (Step Up Franchise), Lua Shayenne, Newton Moraes, Kevin Ormsby, and Debra Brown (Cirque du Soleil). Over the past year, Shakeil is more than fortunate to have performed for many companies in and beyond Toronto's borders. He has also toured internationally to countries such as the United States of America and Jamaica and will be touring British Columbia and England later this year. Also, Shakeil is a proud member of his own collective, Impromptu Movements, which has been performing throughout the GTA this past year. Beyond performing, Shakeil choreographs and teaches throughout the province and has been an annual lecturer at Wilfrid Laurier University. www.shakeilrollock.com
