Chi Cao (Chinese: 曹驰; pinyin: Cáo Chí; b. March 22, 1978[1]) is a British ballet dancer born in China.

Early life

Cao was born in Shanghai, the son of a dance teacher and a musician. When he was four years old, the family moved to Beijing.[2] He received training in classical dance at the Beijing Dance Academy, where his father was director.

Career

In 1993, he won a scholarship to train at the Royal Ballet School in London.[2] Two years later, in 1995, he became a member of the Birmingham Royal Ballet. In 1998 he won the Gold Medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition.
