Carlton Wilborn presents a powerful artistic and personal presence. He is one of the most respected performers in Los Angeles and worldwide. His dynamic style and unique configurations of strength, artistry, originality, and versatility have kept him thriving on the many stages of the entertainment machine. 

Wilborn began his professional career as a principal dancer with the world renowned Hubbard Street Dance Company in Chicago. Blending street savvy and urban sensibilities with an inherent elegance, grace, stature, and commitment to integrity, he naturally commands the stage. As a dancer, actor, and writer, he is a force to be reckoned with; and as a choreographer, director, and dance instructor, he guides the pursuits of fellow artists with the same level of excellence and creativity he brings to his own craft and art.

After working as a soloist for five consecutive years in Ruth Page's Nutcracker, and as a resident guest artist for nine months with Ballet Met, Carlton followed his internal compass to Hollywood. He quickly became one of the city's premiere dancers, landing the position of Madonna's pillar of strength for the Blond Ambition and Girlie Show tours.

Among the over 20 A-list film and TV projects and the many stellar stage projects which have featured Carlton Wilborn are Madonna's feature film Truth or Dare, the recently released motion picture Hoax and stage plays Blade to the Heat and the Ten Commandments, television shows “Lincoln Heights,” “NYPD Blue,” “the Practice,” “CSI: Miami,” “L.A. Firefighters,” “Fame L.A.,” “Tuesdays with Morrie,” and “Made Men.” He served as choreographer for the upcoming motion picture release Yellow, starring Roselyn Sanchez.

Throughout his illustrious career, Carlton has also worked with such award-winning luminaries as music icons Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson, actors Richard Gere and Val Kilmer, choreographers Twyla Tharp, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, and Margo Sappington, director George Wolfe, and producer Joel Silver, as well as many others.

He has also been featured in TV commercial spots for Levi Strauss, Round Table Pizza, Toyota, Visa, AT&T and Chrysler. And he is thrilled to be currently representing Orkin as well as LensCrafters.

Carlton lives in Hollywood, California. With his recently formed Treelife Publishing Company, he is gearing up to build a library of inspiring and empowering books and CDs, the first of which is his newly released, autobiographically based book, Front & Center - How I Learned to Live There.
Carlton has done charitable work over the years for Project Angel Food, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and The Children's Hospital Los Angeles. His daily spiritual practices help him keep his truth and his principles front and center in his heart, soul, and life.
