Current members of Kosovo Ballet include: Following its re-establishment, the company worked closely with the Albanian choreographer Gjergj Prevazi to stage four of his modern dance works: Tranzicioni II (Transition II), S'po dëgjohet gong (Can't hear the gong), Kontrast (Contrast) and Performance.

A fortuitous relationship with the Bulgarian prima-ballerina Sylvia Tomov started the production of full-length classical ballets for the company, in this instance The Sleeping Beauty.

Additional acclaimed works within the company's repertoire include: Sergey Sergeev's staging of Carmen Konstantin Uralsky's More Than Two to Tango Artan Ibërshimi's Rhapsody on Paganini's Themes Artan Ibërshimi's Ping Pong Spectrum Arthur Kuggeleyn's Oh my God; a remake of Dios Mio made specifically for Kosovo Ballet Mehmet Balkan's and Larissa Barth's Relationships Ilir Kerni's Love that Kills and Graduation Ball Alexander Tressor's Dancing with the Moon Michael Mao's VERDI REQUIEM Iliad Kerni's Kopelia Israel Rodriguez's My Freedom Chiara Ajkun's Tango Nights Besides working with numerous acclaimed choreographers, Kosovo Ballet has partnered with various dance companies from around the world.
