Krystyan Nikulytsia

Internationally acclaimed Ukrainian dancer Krystyan Nikulytsia joins Ascend Ballet Workshop this summer 2026 as a ballet master and Pas de Deux instructor. A graduate of the Kyiv University of Culture and laureate of multiple ballet competitions, he has performed leading roles with the Odesa National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet and other major companies across Europe and the U.S. His repertoire spans classics such as Swan Lake, Giselle, Don Quixote, and The Sleeping Beauty. He is now based in Miami and sought out for his professional instruction across the states.

"We train for hours in the studio just for a few moments onstage. We work with the image of the final product already in our minds. Ballet builds character. Success finds those who are patient, persistent, and never give up."
