About Milena Sidorova

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Milena Sidorova (CBA ’20) is an award-winning Dutch choreographer and a professional ballerina. Her choreography The Spider has been performed worldwide and has received more than 12 million views on YouTube. She has created 20 unique choreographies, including several for the Dutch National Ballet. Sidorova’s work offers a strong element of relatability.

Her two latest choreographies SAND and A.I. were selected for International Draft Works 2019 and were performed at the Royal Opera House in London.

Human Behaviour, Technology and Dance

During her CBA Fellowship, Sidorova explored several ideas and techniques that she plans to expand and develop in the upcoming years into full-scale choreographies. One area of interest is the influence of technology on our behavior: the way we approach communication, how we perceive ourselves, and what keeps us busy.
