Alexey Goloborodko

Alexey Goloborodko (born 1994, Tula, Russia) is widely regarded as one of the most flexible humans alive. He trained from age four under coach Vladislav Rodin, combining contortion with classical dance and Chinese martial arts. He became a household name in Russia through the TV show Minuta Slavy (2007). He joined Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA in 2016. In 2024, he received the Bronze Clown at the 46th International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo. His style uniquely blends contortion with ballet, contemporary dance and martial arts.
