Merritt Moore | Robots & Dance

Currently creating dances with robots and excited to share them here!

I am a professional ballet dancer, formerly with Zurich Ballet, Boston Ballet, English National Ballet, and Norwegian National Ballet. I also graduated from Harvard with Magna Cum Laude Honors in Physics and University of Oxford with a PhD in Atomic and Laser Physics. I was awarded Forbes 30 under 30 2018.

I also dream of going to the moon! I was lucky to be one of the 12 selected candidates to undergo rigorous astronaut selection on BBC "Astronauts: Do you have what it takes?"  and been dreaming of going to space ever since. 

During the pandemic, I starting creating content with a robot (who knew that due to this pandemic a robot would be my only potential dance partner for a very long time!). Some footage has been featured in Financial Times, Vogue, BBC Click and more.

I look forward to connecting with you here, and feel free to connect with me on my other social media platforms at the links below :).
