Chloe Kinzler grew up in Los Angeles and has always had a passion for the performing arts. She began her more serious ballet training at the age of 7 with California Dance Academy under the guidance of Laurie LeBlanc, Randall Graham, and Jen and Robbin Shahani. Throughout her training, she has earned scholarships and has attended several summer intensives, including The School of American Ballet, Joffrey Ballet Chicago, Boston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet School, and Ballet West. She has won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards at competitions such as YAGP, ADC IBC, and California Dance Classics.

At age 17, she joined Ballet West’s trainee program under Adam Sklute and Evelyn Cisneros-Legate, where she performed excerpts from the Sleeping Beauty, and a variation from Bournonville’s Abdallah. In the summer of 2022, she was accepted to the San Francisco Ballet School under the direction of Patrick Armand and trained with Karen Gabay, Pascal Molat, and Dana Genshaft. While at the school, she was given the notable opportunity to perform with the San Francisco Ballet Company in their productions of The Nutcracker and Giselle, as well as performing repertoire in the school’s showcases. 

In 2023, Chloe was offered a studio company contract with Colorado Ballet for the 2023/2024 season. She has already performed several ballets with the company such as Swan Lake, the Nutcracker, Val Caniparoli’s Jekyll and Hyde, Coppelia, Balanchine’s Rubies, and Serenade.
