Zacchaeus Page grew up in Saint Petersburg, FL, where he started his dance training at the age of 15. He attended the Academy of Ballet Arts and danced in the arts program at his high school, PCCA. He then studied dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. During his time at UNCSA, he worked with many choreographers and artists such as Susan Jaffe, Goyo Montero, and Ilya Kozadayev. He also had the opportunity to perform in Sir Frederick Ashton’s Symphonic Variations, Goyo Montero’s Benditos Malditos, and Ilya Kozadayev’s Dream(s)pace... which was taken to NYC to be a part of the Youth America Grand Prix International School Festival at the David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center. A year after graduating, Zacchaeus joined Richmond Ballet’s second company where he remained for two seasons before being promoted to the main company. During his time in Richmond, he has had the privilege of working with many choreographers, including Katarzyna Skarpetowska, Jennifer Archibald, and Ma Cong. Zacchaeus is thrilled to be in his second season with the company.
