Egor Burba was born in Krasnodar, Russia, and completed the primary classes at the Perm State Choreographic College. In 2015 he graduated from the Vishnevskaya College of Musical and Theater Arts in Moscow, and in 2020 he received a bachelor’s degree in Choreographic Performance from the Vaganova Academy.

Egor is a winner of many international competitions: Winner of the International ART Festival-Competition “Debut” (Moscow 2013); Laureate of the 3rd degree in the 2nd International Youth Competition of Classical Dance Performers “The Nutcracker Invites” (Russia 2014); Laureate of the 3rd degree Ballet-Festival “Dance Triumph” (Germany 2014).

Since 2015, he has been the soloist of the Cheboksary Opera and Ballet Theatre (Russia), since 2017 – an artist of the L. Yakobson St. Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theater (Russia), and since 2022 – first soloist of the National Theatre in Belgrade (Serbia).

Egor’s performances include: Albrecht, Peasant Pas de deux in Giselle; Prince, Pas de deux of the Blue Bird and Princess Florine in The Sleeping Beauty; Prince in The Nutcracker; Pas de trois, Jester in the Swan Lake; Pas de deux in Le Corsaire; Pas de trois in Paquita; Golden God in La Bayadere; and he performed leading roles on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater and the Alexandrinsky Theatre.

Egor’s dream is to travel the globe and to see every country the world. His favorite fairy tale hero is Carlson, because it was his favorite cartoon from childhood. His least liked role is the Prince’s Friend in the Swan Lake, because, he says, this character’s line is very undeveloped and constricted. His least favorite ballet move is Pique Soutenu.

To his younger self or to an aspiring ballerina / aspiring ballet dancer he would say: Don’t try to do movements without giving it a thought first, and always spend enough time warming up.
