Michal Krcmar - Biogrphy
 

Biography by Andrew Guild


Michal Krcmar is a Star dancer of the Finnish National Ballet, International Guest Artist, Teacher and Choreogrpaher.

While now, ballet is his passion, it did not
begin that way. As a child he found himself hating ballet class, but years later, standing on the stage,
with curtains open, in front of sold out audiences, he knew he was born to dance

Michal Krcmar has drew the attention in late 2000’s as a significant talent. Already as a student he has won numerous prizes at International Ballet Competitions and attended many international events.

After graduating from the Prague Conservatory he immediately started to dance solo roles at the Prague State Opera Ballet and other theatres in Czechia like:

Prince in Swan Lake, Prince in Sleeping Beauty, Prince in Cinderella, Albrecht in Giselle...

However, he remained in the Prague Company for only two years before joining the Finnish National Ballet as soloist dancer in 2011/2012 season. Nowadays, at the peak of his career, he is the Leading Principal dancer of the company.

Thanks to his varied participations in International Gala Events and Festivals in Japan, Cuba, China, Georgia, Colombia, Cambodia, Mexico, Russia, Korea, Honk Kong, the United Arab Emirates and almost every European country….

He was awarded in 2021 the "Premio Capri
Danza Internazionale" in Iltaly for International Dance Merit.

As a multi award winner with a rich repertoire of both classic and contemporary works, his journey in the world of dance is nothing short of remarkable.

In 2025 suffered terrible knee accident and was considering to end his active career. He returned to stage straight into the role of Prince in Nutcracker nine months after the surgery.

We could say that he basically danced every main role of the classical ballet titles.

When not dancing, rehearsing or flying around the globe, Michal likes to keep active life: he plays
soccer, ice-hockey, volleyball, does cross-country skiing, snow-boarding, swimming, cycling, boxing, break dancing...
