Adam Tardif

Adam first tried ballet in 2011 through a recreation program in Portland, Oregon. He loved that experience but did not find himself in a dance studio again until 2019 when he auditioned for SHB?s premier Nutcracker. Adam was delighted to make his stage debut with SHB as Mr. Stahlbaum and one of Drosselmeyer?s dolls. Since then, while continuing his ballet and pas de deux training with SHB, he has completed an Urbanity Dance contemporary series and a Northeastern Ballet pas de deux series. During this time, Adam has performed for SHB in various roles, including Toreador in Don Quixote, Arabian and Snow King in Nutcracker, Kindness Lead and Mazurka Couple in Cinderella, and in pas de deux excerpts, most recently from Spartacus. Adam is excited to continue dancing for SHB, now as an apprentice to the company.
