Carter Hayes ‘25

Carter is a sophomore at Harvard studying Computer Science. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Carter began dancing at age 10, starting with musical theatre, but quickly transitioning to ballet and contemporary. Having trained at Poirier Productions, under the direction of Rachael Poirier, Carter competed both in Canada and the US throughout secondary school, doing both the competition and convention circuits. Through this, he had the opportunity to work with incredible choreographers like Matt Cady, Kirsten Wicklund, Sabrina Phillip, and Sarah Dolan. Carter is also a scholarship recipient at Bolshoi Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Colorado Ballet, and the Juilliard School, and continues to explore his own artistry through choreography. He is so excited to be a part of HBC for another semester!
