Robin Park was born in Seoul, South Korea, and started dancing when he was seven years old. At the age of nine, he began his training at the Korea National Ballet Academy in Seoul. Later, he also studied successively at the Korea National Institute for the Gifted Art, the Yewon School and Seoul Arts High School. During these studies, Robin danced in several productions of the Korea National Ballet, such as Don Quixote and The Nutcracker. In 2021, Robin competed in the Prix de Lausanne, where he became a finalist, and started his studies at the National Ballet Academy, from which he will graduate in 2023. Here, Robin already danced in Dutch National Ballet’s Nutcracker & Mouse King.

Robin: “Last season, it was an honour to work with so many great dancers and choreographers.  It was an unforgettable year, from our collaboration with ISH during Dorian to Ballet Bubbles and the tour through Indonesia. I am looking forward to next season, and I will try to improve more as a dancer.”
