Chloe Misseldine

Chloe Misseldine is an American ballet dancer who is currently a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre (ABT).

Early life Misseldine was born in Orlando, Florida, where she grew up dancing at the Orlando Ballet School. Her mother, Yan Chen, was also a dancer with American Ballet Theatre, and was a ballet mistress at Orlando Ballet School while Misseldine was growing up.

Though she stopped attending regular school during high school to focus on training, Misseldine continued her studies online, even after moving to New York to start her professional career at age 16. When she finished high school, she started taking classes at Fordham University (a popular choice for New York City ballet dancers, as the college has a Lincoln Center campus as well as a dual program with Alvin Ailey).

In 2017, Misseldine was awarded second place at the Youth America Grand Prix competition in senior women's classical. In 2018, she competed in the prestigious Prix de Lausanne, and was a finalist, again following in her mother's footsteps (Yan Chen was a prizewinner at the competition in 1987).

Career

Misseldine joined American Ballet Theatre's Studio Company in 2018 after participating in multiple ABT Summer Intensives. In July 2024, she was promoted to Principal dancer by director Susan Jaffe on stage after a sold-out run of Swan Lake.
