Katherine Minor

This is Katherine Minor’s first season with the Joffrey Ballet. Katherine was born in Grenoble, France but became a native of Portland, Oregon before age one. She began classical dance training at age five at The School of Oregon Ballet Theatre, under Damara Bennett. When she was twelve she trained for a year at the Paris Opera Ballet School. In 2006, she attended the summer program at the School of American Ballet. She was offered an apprenticeship at Oregon Ballet Theatre in 2010, and was featured in company productions of The Four Temperaments, Emeralds, The Nutcracker, and Sleeping Beauty and danced a number of roles in the School Showcase including the pas de deux in La Source and Stars and Stripes, and a Russian Girl in Serenade.

Katherine is excited by the opportunity to dance with the Joffrey, and to experience the city of Chicago.
