KYIV CITY BALLET

Засновник та художній керівник

Що ви робите, якщо ви балетна трупа, яка опинилася за кордоном, коли хтось вторгається у вашу країну? Ви танцюєте, зухвало, саме так.

Стівен Льюїс, The Press

Kyiv City Ballet, провідна балетна трупа України, перебуває на гастролях, показуючи найулюбленіші у світі класичні балети та пересуваючи сучасні твори... тому що вони не можуть повернутися додому.

Виступи компанії говорять про красу та пристрасть мистецтва... а також про дух і волю, що знаходяться в кожному з нас

Did you know? 🤔Sometimes ballet rehearsals and technical light checks happen simultaneously! 🎭✨#KyivCityBallet #BehindTheScenes #BalletLife #TheArtOfBallet #DanceMagic

The bond between a dancer and their pointe shoes is unmatched — it’s not just about performance, it’s about precision, strength, and grace. 💫

Here’s to the beautiful feet that make every pirouette, every leap, and every arabesque possible. 🩰✨

Did you know Chopiniana and Les Sylphides are the same ballet? Originally titled Chopiniana, it was renamed Les Sylphides after its Paris debut in 1909. Choreographed by Michel Fokine, it’s a tribute to Chopin’s music, blending romanticism and impressionism. #Chopiniana #LesSylphides #BalletHistory” #kyivcityballet #ballet

Behind the curtain, after the final bow. The quiet aftermath of a powerful performance—empty wings, scattered belongings, and the echoes of the stage still lingering. #KyivCityBallet #Backstage #AfterTheShow #BalletLife #theartofmovement 📸 @tomarber

Elegance in motion, captured from above. There’s something magical about experiencing ballet from different angles – each perspective reveals a new layer of artistry. Do you prefer to see the dancer from the front, or does the view from above change how you feel about the performance?

🩰 Where the dream takes shape in quiet moments. In the studio, it’s not just about the steps — it’s about the hours spent in the pursuit of something greater. A journey of dedication, of becoming. ✨

🩰 Every step counts before we take the stage. Preparing for a performance starts with the details — like putting on our pointe shoes with care. These moments of focus and preparation shape the performance that follows.

✨ With Valentine’s Day coming up, we wanted to share a piece from one of our favorite ballets, Romeo and Juliet. 💘 The last time we performed this ballet was in 2019, which now feels like a lifetime ago. We can’t wait to bring it back to the stage as soon as possible! In the meantime, we hope this clip brings a bit of light and love to your day! ✨

✨ Behind the scenes at Kyiv City Ballet! 🎬 Rehearsals on stage are often some of the calmest moments in our work... but they can also be the most hectic! 😅 Which do you prefer: rehearsing on stage or in a studio? 🎶

During our last tour in Egypt, a few of our dancers showed up to afternoon rehearsals saying they had been working on something all night and through the morning. What was it? This impromptu photoshoot! 📸

🎬✨ There’s been talk in creative industries about a lack of new talent, models, and fresh ideas. Not to worry—they’re right here with us!

During our last tour in Egypt, a few of the dancers showed up to afternoon rehearsals saying they’d been working on something all night and into the morning. What was it? An impromptu photoshoot! We will be sharing the results over the next few days 📸

KYIV CITY BALLET is an INDEPENDENT entity and is NOT AFFILIATED with, associated with, or connected to Grand Kyiv Ballet or any other Ukrainian ballet company, either currently or in the past. We are a distinct company with our OWN LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, AND ARTISTIC DIRECTION

This is the reason why we do what we do! 🥹✨

This little girl was in the audience at one of our performances, and after the show, she managed to sneak backstage, standing quietly in the doorway just to watch the artists as they left. Her parents later reached out to tell us that she’s been asking them every day to start ballet lessons—and they signed her up! 🩰

This is why it’s so important for us to bring ballet to everyone, especially those who may not have had the chance to experience it before. Every performance has the power to inspire big dreams! 🌍💫

As we add on to our Tribute to Peace series, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on something exciting and new! ✨
