About Catherine Board
Catherine Board trained for ten years at the Maryland Youth Ballet under Tensia Fonseca and Michelle Lees. At age 10 she was selected from over 250 children to perform with the New York City Ballet in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
She began dancing professionally at 14 with Classical Ballet Theatre before graduating from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Catherine went on to perform with both the Richmond Ballet and the Nashville Ballet, performing a wide range of classical and contemporary roles.
After moving to Colorado, she joined Ballet Nouveau Colorado (now Wonderbound) where she later served as Company Teacher, Ballet Mistress, and intern Artistic Director. She also spent eight years as Guest Ballet Master with Oklahoma City Ballet, helping stage and direct their production of The Nutcracker.
Over the past 20 years Catherine has taught thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to dance professionally with companies including Colorado Ballet, Philadelphia Ballet, and American Ballet Theatre.
Susan Jaffe, Artistic Director of American Ballet Theatre, invited Catherine to create a workshop promoting healthier, more conscious dancers. Together they developed The Transcendent Dancer, a program Catherine led for hundreds of dancers at University of North Carolina School of the Arts and Orlando Ballet.
Today Catherine is the founder of Greater Levels of Love and works as a full-time life coach, integrating the discipline and awareness cultivated through ballet into transformational coaching
