BIO
Celeste Borman began her training at Charlotte Ballet Academy (formerly North Carolina Dance Theater). While there, she studied with Patricia McBride, Laszlo Berdo, Mark Diamond, Kathryn Moriarty, Kati Hanlon Mayo, Sarkis Kaltakhtchian, and Heather Ferranti Ferguson. She also attended summer intensives in Chautauqua, New York, at San Francisco Ballet, Washington Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Nashville Ballet. 

Borman later joined and danced for four seasons in Charlotte Ballet Academy’s pre-professional program, including two years as an apprentice. As a pre-professional student, she had the opportunity to tour with Charlotte Ballet in productions of The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker. Other performance opportunities included works by George Balanchine, Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux, Peter Chu, Mark Diamond, and Stephanie Martinez. 

Upon joining Nashville Ballet’s official second company, NB2, in 2019, Borman became a part of Nashville Ballet’s Community Engagement programming, where she danced in performances of Carnival of the Animals and Jump, Frog, Jump. She has also been featured in Artistic Director Emeritus Paul Vasterling’s Peter and the Wolf and in the Odalisques from Le Corsaire. In 2020, she had the opportunity to work with Artistic Director and CEO Nick Mullikin on his original work He Loved Big Brother. She has also performed with Nashville Ballet in main stage productions of Paul Vasterling’s Romeo and Juliet, Nashville’s Nutcracker, and Seasons. After two seasons with NB2, Borman was invited to join Nashville Ballet as a Patricia and Louis Todd Family Foundation apprentice.

When she’s not in the studio or performing, Borman enjoys listening to podcasts and trying out new recipes.
