Alesya Dobysh is a Dutch-based professional dancer, choreographer, and curator. She began her career in the street and club dance scene, where she cultivated a love for House dance culture that has formed the basis of her artistic pursuits. She has been an active participant in the “battle” dance scene, having taken main prizes at international events such as Summer Dance Forever (Amsterdam), Juste Debout (Paris), Random Circles (Frankfurt), Street Star (Stockholm) and many others.

In her art, she is committed to experimenting with fusing subcultural backgrounds and unconventional forms of expression with performance art, theatre, visual art, and sound art. One of her signature approaches involves deconstructing footwork-oriented techniques into an abstract language, which she uses to choreograph her works. Alesya’s choreographic works have won awards at the Performing Arts Urban Dance Contest “HOP” in Barcelona, Experimental Dance Festival “Open Your Mind” in Saint Petersburg, and "SzoloDuo" festival in Köln and Budapest.
Apart from her choreographic practice, Alesya is also an educator and an organizer. She brings her experience in various fields together to create an authentic practice that is grounded in her personal vision. Her work challenges established genre frames in her personal practice, as well as in educational and curatorial contexts.
