Tzu-Chao Chou

Born in Taiwan, TzuChao studied at the Lan Yang Dance Centre, joining the centre's dance troupe in 1993. In 2003 he commenced an Advanced Diploma of Dance at The Australian Ballet School, going on to attend classes with the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company and the National Ballet School of Canada as part of a student exchange. Tzu-Chao joined The Australian Ballet in 2005, with his performance in The Flower Festival in Genzano prompting a journalist to compare his "buoyancy, power and fluency" to that of a young Baryshnikov. He was promoted to Soloist at the beginning of the 2008 season.
