Zoe Henrot, Dancer and Choreographer

An audience should expect to have a desire to move while watching my work. I want to show the beauty of the body and its movement potential in every moment of every gesture.

Zoe Henrot graduated summa cum laude from Mount Holyoke College in 2012 with a double major in Dance and Biological Sciences. Having grown up in Boulder, Colorado, Zoe received most of her dance training from Boulder Ballet, becoming an apprentice with the company in 2007. In addition to her training in Boulder, Zoe has trained with Kansas City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Joffrey Ballet and is now dancing professionally with Continental Ballet Company in Minneapolis. Starting her choreographic journey in high school creating pieces for student showcases, Zoe has become increasingly interested in how ballet can be married with other art forms and academic disciplines. In 2011 she started choreographing her largest work entitled ‘Becoming Undone,’ which will be restaged for the Mount Holyoke Fall Faculty Concert in November.
