Colibri McMillan
COLIBRI MCMILLAN started his formal training in 2007 with The Ithaca Ballet, where he trained and performed. At age 15, he chose to pursue a professional dancing career, and moved to New York City to begin training at The Joffrey Ballet School on full scholarship. During his time at The Joffrey Ballet School, Colibiri performed notable roles such as Sugar Plum Cavalier and Snow King from The Nutcracker, and Basilio from Don Quixote. He honed his contemporary skills which allowed him to perform in an original piece by choreographer Earl Mosley. Mr. McMillan then transitioned to Cincinnati Ballet’s Professional Trainee Division, where he performed various lead roles including Waltz Man and Elegy Man in George Balanchine’s Serenade, Grand Pas Classique Pas de Deux, and Puss in Boots from The Sleeping Beauty. Colibri is very excited to start his third season with Ballet Spartanburg.
