+Zoi Tatopoulos was born in Lagia, Lakonia, Greece. Her Greek mother moved the family to Athens when Tatopoulos was 15.

Later, she created Knockturnallheads, an all-female-led company. “I think, culturally, it was the perfect thing to shape who I am.” After developing a dedicated audience in Greece, she returned to Los Angeles in 2014. “I decided that it was time to start completely fresh. It started with choreographing for competitive dance teams.” She’s since amassed credits choreographing for FKA twigs, 070 Shake, BANKS, Travis Scott, Cadillac, and ABC’s 30th-anniversary celebration of Beauty and the Beast.  Tatopoulos credits her father, a director and production designer, with introducing her to experimental music by the likes of Aphex Twin. In her choreography, she says, “I love playing with music that [doesn’t] have a typical tempo. You’re automatically forced to do more bizarre things with your body.”
