Soloist with the Dutch National Ballet. Guestteacher at Summerschool Den Haag in 2024
The Ukrainian dancer Suzanna Kaic (Kharkov) started rhythmic gymnastics at the age of four. After two years, she switched to the Kharkov Ballet Academy, as her grandmother said she ‘always walked on tiptoe’. When she was sixteen, she was invited by a dancing teacher to continue her training at the conservatoire in Vienna. A year and a half later, Suzanna joined the Ballett am Rhein Düsseldorf Duisburg, where she made her debut as Clara in The Nutcracker, aged nineteen and still in the corps de ballet. This was followed by other main roles, leading to her promotion to soloist and then to principal in 2007.
