| Background |
Yvonne Borree's interest in dance developed very early, due in large part to the influence of her mother, Susan Borree, who danced with Jerome Robbins' Ballets: U.S.A., New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. Ms. Borree was raised in Norfolk, Virginia, where she began her dance training at the Tidewater Ballet Association when she was five years old. She attended summer sessions at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet, for three years and was invited to enter SAB full-time in 1985. In 1987, she became an apprentice with New York City Ballet and was invited to join the corps de ballet in 1988. During the Company's 1992 spring season, Ms. Borree was chosen by Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins to dance with Guest Artist Mikhail Baryshnikov in George Balanchine's Duo Concertant. She was promoted to the rank of soloist in 1993 and to principal in 1997. |
