Rudolph Kharatyan has come full circle as a dancer, artist and choreographer. His life's journey led him to be the principle dancer of Soviet Armenia's National Ballet Company for 25 years, a member of the Stars of the Soviet Union ensemble, and later a choreographer in North America at a time when Armenia was taking its first steps towards independence. Kharatyan recalls the stages of his art and his most important role as father to children who are ballet dancers themselves. After living and working abroad for 20 years, he is now back in Armenia and has taken on the challenging role of leading Armenia's National Ballet Company.
