Andrea R

Andrea Risso is an Italian dancer with the Corps de Ballet of Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Born in La Spezia, he entered the Ballet School of the Accademia Teatro alla Scala in 2009 and graduated in 2017. That same year, he joined the Ballet Company of Teatro alla Scala, beginning his professional career within one of Europe's most prestigious opera and ballet institutions.

At Teatro alla Scala, Andrea has performed in classical, neoclassical, and contemporary productions, including Kratz / Preljocaj / De Bana, Trittico Balanchine/Robbins, and Smith/León e Lightfoot/Valastro. His training and company work give his movement a strong foundation in classical discipline, ensemble precision, musicality, and stage awareness.

Alongside his theatre career, Andrea also works across fashion, editorial, and commercial movement contexts. His image connects ballet technique with contemporary visual culture, allowing him to move naturally between stage performance, campaign work, fashion imagery, and movement-led productions. His physical presence carries the clarity of classical training while remaining adaptable to modern commercial formats. Andrea's career brings together Italian ballet tradition, La Scala formation, contemporary repertoire, and a strong camera-facing quality. His work is suited to classical and contemporary dance projects, theatre, fashion editorials, luxury campaigns, music videos, movement direction, and commercial productions requiring elegance, precision, and an authentic ballet foundation.
