Maxwell Simoes grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he attended the Creative and Performing Arts High School as well as training with Olga Kresin and Lev Assualyak. He placed gold at the Tanzfestival Berlin Tanzolymp for his contemporary solo and as a duet finalist in the YAGP NYC competition. Following this success, Maxwell studied at the Rudra Béjart École in Switzerland, student of Azari Plissetski, leading to performing with the Béjart Ballet in pieces by Maurice Béjart, including Bolero, Le Sacre du Printemps, and Petruschka. Relocating back to the United States after a few years, he performed at The Metropolitan Opera, The San Francisco Opera, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and Smuin Ballet. Maxwell currently is dancing with Jacob Jonas The Company in Los Angeles. Along with doing freelance projects, he has the added opportunity to create and teach internationally, though recently he has performed for fashion brands such as Hermès, Prada, and Greg Lauren.
