Atte Kilpinen started dancing at the age of seven at a local dance studio. After completing Upper Elementary School, he found his way to the Conservatory in Turku City where he started a professional contemporary dancer degree program. During a summer course, the Ballet Master Jarmo Rastas, recognized Atte's potential and suggested to take part in a class at the National Ballet. After this class in 2015, Kenneth Greve, offered Atte a position in the Finnish National Ballet. He has also performed with other companies, including Susanna Leinonen Company, Jojo Oulu Dance Centre, Pori Dance Company and Turku City Theatre.
