Céleste is an award-winning dancer & agency represented model, based in Detroit, MI, & available for travel.

At age 4, Céleste began her dance career by beginning her studies in ballet & continued her rigorous schooling until her early twenties. Céleste primarily studied the formal Italian style of ballet, called the Cecchetti Method, though also has some training in the Russian style of ballet called the Vaganova Method. In her dance schooling, she studied under several professional ballet dancers & consistently earned top marks in her testing. She reached the Advanced level which lead to several notable solos, such as Odette the Swan Queen in her school's rendition of Swan Lake, as well as several Nutcracker solos such as Arabian & The Columbine Doll. Céleste still brings her notable ballet training to the stage each time she performs.

In high school, Céleste began to branch out in exploring other styles of dance, such as tango & swing dancing. She regularly attended classes in her teens & twenties for swing dancing in Ann Arbor, MI, as well as in the Metro Detroit area, & eventually developed a partnership with a fellow dancer. They went on to perform in a college talent show & won the top prize, all while improvising their performance.

In 2017, Céleste began her training in burlesque through the Detroit School of Burlesque, under headmaster Holly Hock. Before graduating, Céleste was hired by Holly to perform in her show, Speakeasy Sundays at Cliff Bell's. Céleste's second burlesque performance was at the 2018 Michigan Burlypicks competition where she took First Place, earning her a spot at Nationals where she went on to win "Most Classic". Through the years Céleste has performed at renowned events such as The Dirty Show, Electric Forest, the Ohio Burlesque Festival, & the Michigan Burlesque Festival.
