Alina Cojocaru – A short bio

The multi-award-winning Romanian ballerina began her distinguished career by studying gymnastics from a young age before she began ballet classes. Her ballet training at the Romanian State Ballet gave her the platform of being recognised along with other select students to take part in a student exchange that gave a public performance every six months. It was during one of these performances that Alina made her debut. At the age of 15, she won a scholarship to train at the Royal Ballet School in London. She was apart of the Kiev Ballet and Royal Ballet in London dance companies before she joined the English National Ballet in 2013. Her most recent awards include the Critics’ Circle Award (2018 and 2017 Outstanding Female Classical Performance).

He has been a principal dancer for both prolific dance companies; the Royal Danish Ballet and the Royal Ballet in London.
