Born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine, Andrii Strelkivskyi started his dance path as a Ukrainian Folk Dancer, with a passion for Modern, Contemporary and Commercial Dance.

He studied dance and choreography at Kyiv Municipal Academy of Circus and Variety Arts, which also gave him access to acting classes and circus artistry training. In 2013, he joined Kyiv Modern Ballet, Ukraine’s leading modern-dance company, where he honed his craft of storytelling.

In 2014, he started working as a dancer for AIDA Cruises and was promoted to Dance Captain in 2016. Between ship contracts, Andrii continued to seek out additional dance opportunities. He worked in the ensemble at X-Factor Ukraine (Season 6, STB Production), Foresight Dance Theater, Circus-theater Elysium, and many more.

Andrii moved to NYC in 2019 to expand his dance opportunities and education. He took classes from Kenichi Kasamatsu, Norbert de la Cruz III, Greg Chapkis, Christopher Scott, Dana Wilson, Zach Tang, Desmond Richardson, Cat Cogliandro, Max Stone, Will B. Bell, Nick Lanzisera, and Mike Tyus among many others. Whether in the studio or audience, he loves to evolve, explore, and learn more about dance. 

In the last 3 years, he performed with Yu.S.Artistry (New York), Nai Ni Chen Dance Company (New York), Kybele Dance Theater (Los Angeles), and Diavolo Architecture in Motion (Los Angeles). He performed Christmas Wonderland at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario, produced by Spirit Shows USA/Dublin Worldwide Productions. 

Since 2022 he is represented by Go 2 Talent Agency.

Andrii continues to look for more dance opportunities and is always interested in meeting and collaborating with new people. Feel free to reach out with any ideas, questions, or just say Hello!
