Dancers: Sergei Polunin and Anna Ol

Born in Kherson, Ukraine in 1989, Sergei Polunin / Сергей Полунин is a Russian ballet dancer. Famous for his "once every hundred years" talent, he has incredulous elevation and impeccable technique. From an early age, he displayed glorious dramatic range. Home videos of him as a small boy improvising to Pavarotti are very foretelling. At age 19, he became the youngest ever male principal dancer with London's Royal Ballet company.

Ballet gained an unprecedented new awareness when he danced in Hozier's viral video "Take Me To Church." People who would never have paid any attention to ballet began to watch the tattooed phenom. He is generally attributed with bringing ballet to the modern common man. Classical, yet cutting edge, Sergei starred in Diesel's "Make Love Not Walls" campaign and has put his mark on many other promotions.

Sergei is a much sought after model and actor. Fashion designers love his breathtaking physique and brooding good looks. He has garnered only positive reviews for his acting. His appearances include Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of the Orient Express, the biographical documentary Dancer, The White Crow, and Red Sparrow.

Anna Ol (Krasnoyarsk, Russia) joined Dutch National Ballet as a principal in August 2015. She trained at the Krasnoyarsk Ballet College and has danced with the Siberian State Ballet, the State Opera of Tatarstan, the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg and the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Academic Music Theatre in Moscow, where she danced all the major roles of the classical repertoire and worked with choreographers like Jiří Kylián and John Neumeier, Natalia Makarova, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, Jerome Robbins and others.

Anna won gold at the Grand Prix Galina Ulanova in Krasnoyarsk in 2008 and at the Arabesque competition in Perm (Russia) in 2010. In 2018 she was nominated for 'Best dancer of the year' in the British Critic's Choice. Anna danced as a guest soloist at various international ballet galas. In 2017 she performed with the Semperoper Ballett in Dresden as Manon, in Kenneth MacMillan's highly acclaimed choreography of the same name, and in 2018 she performed as guest soloist with the Staatsballett Berlin in a reconstruction of La Bayadère by Alexei Ratmansky.
