BIO
Celeste Borman received all of her training at Charlotte Ballet Academy where she studied with renowned faculty. She then trained for four seasons in their Pre-Professional division, 2 of those years as an apprentice. During this part of her training, she toured with Charlotte Ballet and danced works by Balanchine, Bonnefoux, Chu, Diamond, Berdo, and Martinez. Borman also attended summer intensives at the Chautauqua Institution, San Francisco Ballet, The Washington Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Nashville Ballet.
Upon joining Nashville Ballet’s official second company, NB2, in 2019, Borman performed with the main company in productions of Nashville’s Nutcracker and Romeo and Juliet. Additionally, she worked with Artistic Director and CEO Nick Mullikin on his original work He Loved Big Brother and took part in Nashville Ballet’s Community Engagement programming.
Subsequently, Borman was invited to join Nashville Ballet as an apprentice in 2021 and was promoted to full company member in 2022. Since joining the main company Borman has been lucky to perform works by Mullikin, Vasterling, Bradley, Balanchine, Peck, Kylian, Tharp, Neenan, and Caniparoli among others.
Outside of the studio, Borman enjoys going for long walks around the city and having plenty of playtime with her cat.
