“I am very excited to join the Dutch National Ballet as a principal dancer. After 7 years dancing at the Vienna State Ballet and graduating at the School in Vienna, I was ready to start a new chapter in my life. A dancers career is very short and I want to experience new opportunities in another country with new people and different teachers/choreographers, to explore my artistry.
Dutch National Ballet is one of the leading ballet companies in the world, I was always following the company over the past years. Luckily, during the last season (2019/20) I got the opportunity to guest with the Company in the Opening Gala and Nutcracker and the Mouse King.
After the series of performances I was sure that I would love to join Dutch National Ballet and that I could identify myself with the repertoire. I am looking forward to face the new challenge.”

A real asset to our company! After his successful guest appearance in Nutcracker and the Mouse King last year, I am happy to welcome Jakob into Dutch National Ballet this season.”
