NATALIA ADAMSKA - BIOGRAPHY

Natalia Adamska was born in 1998 in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland. She studied at the National Ballet School in Gdańsk from 2009 to 2014 and then at the independent Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in London from 2014 to 2017. She subsequently spent a year with The Encore Dance Company of Tring Park’s graduate troupe, where she had the opportunity to work professionally and further develop the experience gained during her studies.

In April 2017, Natalia joined NDM Ballet as a permanent guest artist. Since December 2017, she has been a member of the corps de ballet with soloist obligations, and since September 2022 she has served as a soloist. In her first seasons with the company, she drew particular attention in the female duet in Rossini Cards, choreographed by Mauro Bigonzetti, and as Swanilda’s Friend in Giorgio Madia’s neoclassical ballet Coppélia.

Her modern and neoclassical repertoire includes works by choreographers such as Jiří Kylián (Falling Angels, Wings of Wax, Sechs Tänze), Ohad Naharin (Hora), Itzik Galili (O Balcão de Amor, Sofa), Johan Inger (Rain Dogs), Jo Strømgren (Mahler’s Memories, Okno/The Window), and Justin Peck (Heatscape).

For her portrayal of the title role in Carmen, choreographed by Jiří Pokorný, Natalia received the Thalia Award for the 2020–2022 seasons. Her performance was praised for its assurance and complexity, through which she succeeded, from the very first moment, in creating a wholly self-assured and compelling portrait of a modern woman filled with passion, love, and freedom. “Her Carmen is undoubtedly an extraordinary revelation on the dance scene of the past season,” the jury stated in its assessment.

Since the 2025/2026 season, Natalia has also worked with NDM Ballet as a répétiteur. In addition, she has contributed to the choreographic creation of the NDM Ballet’s original projects I Think, Therefore I Am (2018), Dance from the Heart (2020), and Zdenka and Other Variations by Leoš Janáček (2021).
