She joined Miami City Ballet as a company apprentice in 2010 and in January 2011 was promoted to the corps de ballet. Carter has danced much of the company’s Balanchine and contemporary repertory, and has had the opportunity to work with world-renowned choreographers such as Justin Peck, Alexei Ratmansky and Liam Scarlett.
