Marie-Agnès Gillot born in 1975 in Caen is a French ballet dancer and choreographer with the Paris Opera Ballet.

The daughter of an accountant and a physical therapist, until starting at the Paris Opera Ballet School at age nine, she lived in Caen.

«She was only 5 when she took her first dance lesson. Despite having double scoliosis, whose treatment would imprison her in a cumbersome back brace for years, she kept dancing».

She entered the company at age 15. In 1994, she was promoted to the rank of “sujet,” or soloist. “I had a long wait, another five years, to become «Premiere Danseuse», even though I was dancing all the principal roles (…) And then a long wait to be made an étoile, five years after that. It has never been easy for me.”

She became principal dancer — «étoile» in 2004 after dancing «Signes»: «It’s the first time an étoile has been nominated after dancing a contemporary ballet. I think many people were surprised as modern works are generally considered less important than the classics, although they now represent half the repertoire of the company.»
