Mlindi Kulashe is a South African born classical ballet dancer, choreographer and presenter. He moved to England in 2010 to train at the prestigious English National Ballet School and immediately was invited by the Queen to a reception at Buckingham Palace to show appreciation to performing artists.

He danced professionally with Northern Ballet and has performed many leading and iconic roles like ‘Dracula’ and ‘Tybalt’ in Romeo and Juliet.
