Wonderful Students from Wallace Mile Square!
We hosted a class for the Pre-K 3's and 4's from Wallace Mile Square last week. I must say they were a great group of children and very enthusiastic about learning about dance! They all warmed up and learned a short jazz routine. Job well done :)

Charles grew up in a musical family: his father, Aaron Bergell, is a professional opera singer, and some of Charles earliest memories are of sitting in opera houses all over the world watching his father perform.
Attending the prestigious Northwestern University Theatre Dept, Charles graduated in 1987 with a degree in Speech, major in Theatre. During his time there, Charles received extensive training in all aspects of acting and theatrical production, and took part in many theatrical productions, including the famous Waa-Mu20show
Charles has received vocal instruction from some of the finest teachers in the world: Ryan Edwards of the Metropolitan Opera. Lorna Haywood of Covent Gardens, Katherine Hartgrove of the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Dan Ballestrero of the San Francisco Opera (not to mention Aaron Bergell, his father).
Charles is a frequent guest teacher in schools and theatre camps around the New York metropolitan area: In 2004, he helped to direct the St. Joseph Regional Highschool Production of ‘Les Miserables’, to great critical acclaim, and followed this up the next year by assisting with St. Joe’s production of ‘The Prince20and the Pauper.’ Both shows garnered rave reviews and multiple nominations and awards at the annual Helen Hayes High School Theatre Awards.
