Reports on twitter state that the 33-year-old ballerina has left Russia following threats and hacking of her facebook and email accounts.
DanceTeq ballet studios, owned by former National Ballet of Canada principal dancer Kevin Pugh, and operating out of the National Ballet of Canada's studios at the Walter Carsen Centre in Toronto, announced last week that Svetlana Lunkina will be teaching their Friday Level 5 Ballet class starting February 1st- March 1st.
It seems that Lunkina has connections with Solomon Tencer and Nadia Veselova-Tencer, who produce the Stars of the 21st Century galas, in some of which she has appeared, as well as guesting in productions of Canadian Ballet Theatre, the performance group of Veselova-Tencer's Academy of Ballet and Jazz in Richmond Hill north of Toronto, which has produced Alys Shee among others.
.
In addition, Lunkina incorporated a ballet company under her name in Kleinburg, Ontario a few months ago, with her husband Vladislav Moskalev as co-director. Moskalev has also produced ballet galas in the past; Kleinburg is a small town about half an hour north of Toronto.The couple's son was born in Canada in 2004.
Needless to say, we Toronto balletomanes would be thrilled if Lunkina were to join the National Ballet of Canada!
She is, however, mentioned in the UK dance magazine Dancing Times as one of the dancers "expected to appear" when the Bolshoi visits London in summer 2013.
