Kirill Burlov embarked on his lifelong performance journey at just 4 years old with the folk ensemble Perlite. After completing lower and upper ballet schools, he joined the Latvian National Ballet as a soloist, choreographing two ballets before moving to the UK. Alongside his flourishing dance career, Kirill pursued a four-year full-time teaching degree from the Latvian Conservatoire and served as Head of Dance at Boderajas Art School.

Driven by a thirst for new experiences and opportunities in the dance world, Kirill moved to the UK. He started as a soloist with Northern Ballet before joining Rambert, where his distinguished dance career reached new heights. At Rambert, Kirill worked with some of the world’s best choreographers and also created eight contemporary dance works as a choreographer, with the final piece marking the grand opening of Rambert’s new building on the South Bank.

Kirill also worked with esteemed companies such as English National Ballet, Michael Clark, The Cathy Marston Project, Royal Opera, Fin Walker amongst other companies and choreographers which further solidified his reputation in the dance world. Kirill’s choreography has been showcased worldwide, including the Hong Kong Arts Centre and the Slovenian National Opera. He has also taught workshops internationally and held a Senior Lecturer of Dance position at Raffles College Singapore.

Recently, Kirill added to his achievements a master’s degree in Screendance, elevating his artistic dance expression to a new level.
