Zoe Brown

Zoe was born in Austin, Texas, but has lived most of her life in Sydney, Australia. She began ballet at age eleven and quickly realized that she wanted to pursue dancing as a career. She trained with Kate Hiron and Shannon Briscoe at her home studio, Industry Performing Arts, before beginning full-time training at Sydney College of Dance under Xanthe Geeves where she obtained her Diploma of Dance. She continued her training at Tanya Pearson Academy with Lucinda Dunn OAM and Xanthe Geeves where she had the opportunity to perform in act two of Swan Lake and Balleverdi by Wim Broeckx at the Sydney International Ballet Gala. Also having a passion for neoclassical and contemporary Dance, Zoe was the winner of the Sydney Eisteddfod Contemporary Solo Scholarship in the 19 years and over age category in 2022. Zoe also completed all of her vocational RAD examinations and studied the solo seal syllabus. She attended Orlando Ballet School’s Summer Intensive in 2023 and later moved to California in September of that year to dance as a trainee with State Street Ballet. Here, she had the opportunity to perform in the corps de ballet in Giselle and The Nutcracker. She was also selected to tour with the company for Giselle later that season. Zoe is excited to join NWA Ballet Theatre for her first season as a company dancer.
