Denys Cherevychko

A student of the late Alexandr Prokoviev, Denys Cherevychko has been Wiener Staatsballett Erste Solotänzer (Principal dancer) since 2012. A distinguished performer, Denys was nominated for the Prix Benois de la Danse. Known for his remarkable adaptability, he has embraced the unbelievable challenge of learning, on the very day of performance, the leading roles of l'Arlésienne, Sleeping Beauty and other ballets to dance them in the same evening.
His global reputation as a guest Principal Dancer has seen him partner with Alessandra Ferri, Maia Makhateli, and Mayara Magri, showcasing his versatility across a repertoire of over 60 pieces.
Denys created his own dancewear line, Balance by Cherevychko, which melds elegance, comfort with functionality, to allow male dancers to feel good and look elegant from studio to stage. His belief is clear: a Principal dancer’s role isn't just about performance but influencing culture.
