Alina joined the British National Ballet in September 2013 as the principal dancer. 8 years later, she left the British National Ballet in 2021 and devoted herself to her creative projects.

She continues to perform in ballet corps around the world as a guest artist and is a permanent guest artist for Hamburg Ballet.

In 2012, Alina premiered her "Alina Koyokaru-Dream Project" in Tokyo, Japan. She directed and performed herself, and performed with friends and colleagues from world-class ballets. The second and third works of the project were successfully implemented in 2014 and 2020, respectively.

In 2015, Alina held a charity party at Lincoln Center, New York, and in 2020, Alina's production company ACWorkroom produced and launched the "Alina at the Sadlers Well Theater" performance.

In 2022, she founded the Alina Cojocaru Foundation.
