Cecily Davis
Raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Cecily Davis began dancing at age nine, completing her training at Southeastern School of Ballet. Cecily studied at several summer intensives, including Ballet Magnificat, Ellison Ballet, Oklahoma City Ballet, and Bolshoi Ballet NYC under Svetlana Ivanova and Elena Bobrova. Additionally, in 2015 she received a full scholarship to study ballet and Russian language for six weeks at the Moscow State Academy of Choreography (Bolshoi Ballet Academy). After moving to Atlanta, Cecily performed with Dance Canvas in their 10th Anniversary Performance Series, and then premeried an original piece at their summer intensive showcase. Cecily would like to thank Mrs. Hillary and Mr. Gabor for training her and believing in her, her family for their continual love and support, and God for his many blessings. Cecily is excited for her 3rd season with The Georgia Ballet.
