Meet Company dancer Rhys Kosakowski

Rhys Kosakowski, a classical ballet and contemporary dancer originally from Newcastle, Australia, strives to embrace his creativity through the art of rhythm and dance. Rhys’ passion for movement propelled him through many episodes of notability and success, such as performing with the Houston Ballet Company for 6 years as a Corps de Ballet dancer and performing in Australia’s rendition of Billy Elliot the Musical in 2007 as one of the original four Billys. After slowly building a following in the dance industry, Rhys entered the fashion industry and shot with globally-known photographers whilst also collaborating with artists and videographers. Rhys is passionate about breaking the stereotype of femininity associated with male ballet dancers and combining the qualities of fashion and artistry with the movement of dancing.
