Wilhelm "Willy" Burmann (April 3, 1939 – March 30, 2020) was a German dancer, ballet master, and teacher.

[5] His teaching style, which was fast-paced and demanding,[6] has been compared to that of George Balanchine, for whom Burmann danced for four years.

[7] Some of Burmann's students included Alessandra Ferri, Julio Bocca, Maria Kowroski, Wendy Whelan, Alexandra Ansanelli, Ángel Corella, and Michele Wiles.

[1][7] Burmann's longtime partner was Alfonso Catá, who was also a dancer and had been the artistic director of Ballet du Nord.

He died on March 30, 2020, in Mount Sinai West hospital from renal failure, after COVID-19 complicated his treatment.
