Originally from Uberlândia, a town nestling in the heart of Brazil, Victor Caixeta took his first steps in dance at the “Projeto Pé de Moleque” school. Guided by his talent, he flew to Europe to join the Staatliche Ballettschule in Berlin, Germany.
In 2017, recently graduated his dance training in Berlin and winner of prestigious competitions such as the TanzOlymp Berlin and the European Grand Prix, Victor, a star in the making, joined the famous Mariinsky Ballet in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He rose through the ranks with his grace and virtuosity, and was promoted Soloist in 2019.
However, the geopolitical tumult caused by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict led him to leave the company in March 2022, at the onset of the conflict, to settle in a new home, the Netherlands. There, Victor found a new stage at the Dutch National Ballet, which he joined as First Soloist. His charisma, technique and talent propelled him to the rank of Principal within just one year. A well-deserved reward, after such upheaval…
Victor’s talent and excellence have brightened not only the Netherlands, but he also made his mark on international stages as a guest Principal at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, the Tokyo Ballet and the Hong Kong Ballet.
