Caleb received his ballet training from the National College of Dance in his home city Newcastle, Australia. In 2013, he won the McDonald’s Ballet Scholarship, Australia’s largest ballet competition, and received the juror award at the Australian Institute of Classical Dance awards. In 2014, he moved to Texas to join Houston Ballet II. His highlights from this time include performing the principal couple in Allegro Brillante and Franz in Coppélia. In 2015, he joined Houston Ballet where he danced for seven years performing in many of the great classical ballets, his favourites being La Bayadère, Don Quixote and Romeo and Juliet. He was also featured in contemporary works such as Stanton Welch’s Powder and Aszure Barton’s Come In. Caleb has also completed his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Canberra.
