International Ballet Competition SLAVENSKA 2024

The International Ballet Competition Slavenska will take place between July 3 and 5, 2024 at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb.

The Croatian Society of Professional Ballet Artists founded the biennial Ballet Competition Slavenska named after the world-famous Croatian ballerina Mia Čorak Slavenska in 2006, when it was open only to Croatian ballet dancers, but due to an increased interest in 2010 the Competition turned international and since then has welcomed many dancers from all over the world. The Jury president was the renowned Irek Mukhamedov accompanied by numerous prominent dancers: Ljubinka Dobrijević, Pavel Rotaru, Farouk Ruzimatov, Attilio Labiss, Simona Noja Nebyla, Ronald Savković, Pal Czillag, Emmanuel Thibault, Ken Ludden, Lydia Mila Milovac and Anastasia Matvienko.

Many dancers who have won prizes at our competition also won prizes at other very respectable competitions such as the Nureyev competition in Budapest, Moscow Competition and have been engaged in large ballet companies around the world: Galina Garmash, Yuya Omaki, Asami Nakashima, Dmitri Timofeyev, Mai Kageyama, Yuka Ebikhara, Dmitry Vyskubenko, Marijana Domins, Nina Noč, Natalia Horsnell, Guilherme Gameiro Alves, Kiril Safin, Yassaui Mergaliyev, Nicolas Gorodiski, Lisa Breuker Pavlov, Shunsuke Mizui, Iva Vitić Gameiro, Miguel Aranda Maidana, Yuyu Ichikawa and many more.
