"Stina Quagebeur managed in many instances, to express abstract ideas through dance with

the sort of clarity that indicates serious talent." - DANCING TIMES

About Stina Quagebeur

Born in Belgium, Stina Quagebeur is Associate Choreographer at English National Ballet (ENB), London. She spent nineteen years as a dancer with the company, during which she worked extensively with Akram Khan, creating leading roles in his acclaimed productions of Giselle and Creature. She continues to collaborate with him as rehearsal director and stager.

Her first major choreographic commission came in 2019 from Tamara Rojo for Sadler’s Wells, London. Nora, based on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, was nominated for ‘Best Classical Choreography’ and earned Stina the ‘Emerging Artist’ award at the National Dance Awards 2020. She has since become ENB’s Associate Choreographer, creating 20 works for the company, its youth company, and the ENB School.

Recent projects this year include a re-imagining of Nijinska’s Le Train Bleu, performed in collaboration with Chanel for the inauguration of the V&A East Storehouse in London, marking 100 years of Chanel in the UK. The production featured nine principals and first soloists performing in front of Picasso’s original 1924 front cloth. 

In 2020, she created Take 5 Blues, set to Nigel Kennedy’s jazz album. Directed for film, it was nominated for ‘Best Digital Choreography’ at the National Dance Awards 2021 and later extended for Sadler’s Wells in 2022 for the Ek/Forsythe/Quagebeur Triple Bill.

Internationally, Stina has created works for The Joffrey Ballet, The Royal Ballet’s Lauren Cuthbertson at The Joyce Theatre, New York, Northern Ballet, Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, and BalletX. She continues to maintain a close working relationship with Akram Khan, contributing as a rehearsal director and stager for his productions.

Her new work Omelas will premiere with Ballet Am Rhein in Dusseldorf 14 March 2026.
