Ondrej Šoth (born 23 January 1960) is a Slovak choreographer, theatre director and dance teacher.

[8] From 1975 to 1979, he studied classical dance at the Conservatory in Košice (Andrej Halász, Marilena Halászová, Csaba Szekeresz, Anna Dlhopolcová and others).

He studied choreography and dance directing under Professor Štefan Nosál at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava from 1979 to 1983.

[9] Shortly after finishing his studies, he accepted a position as a choreographer in the Prague Chamber Ballet of Pavel Šmok (1984–1985).

Later, he worked at the National Theatre in Prague (Vladimír Godár: Orbis Pictus, Carl Orff: Carmina Burana), and in Laterna Magika (Michael Kocáb, Evald Schorm, Jaroslav Kučera: Odysseus).

He taught at the State Drama School in Kraków, the Royal Conservatory in Liège (Belgium) and the Academy of Arts in Paris.

As a choreographer, he emphasizes the psychological depth of characters, the detailed depiction of personalities, the credibility of situations and scenes, and their justification in the language of movement.

"[14][15] He has collaborated with many prominent theatre directors (such as Ľubomír Vajdička, Roman Polák, Jozef Bednárik, Marián Chudovský).
