Kader Belarbi


Kader Belarbi is a French ballet dancer, choreographer and director. He spent his whole career in the Paris National Opera Ballet, between 1980 and 2008, and belongs to the company’s “Nureyev generation”, having been made an étoile by Rudolf Nureyev in 1989.
Since 2012, he has been Director of Dance at the Toulouse Capitol Theatre, heading the Capitol Ballet.
Belarbi’s repertoire as a dancer includes a wide range of classical as well as neoclassical and contemporary works, a number of which he premiered for prominent contemporary choreographers in Paris and as a guest artist in other companies. He himself choreographed around forty works. In the past few years, he has undertaken to revisit the academic repertoire, bringing le Corsaire to France and producing a revised version of Giselle.
