Early life

Misseldine was born in Orlando, Florida, [1] where she grew up dancing at the Orlando Ballet School. Her mother, Yan Chen, was also a dancer with American Ballet Theatre, [2] and was a ballet mistress at Orlando Ballet School while Misseldine was growing up. [3]

Though she stopped attending regular school during high school to focus on training, [4] Misseldine continued her studies online, even after moving to New York to start her professional career at age 16. [5] When she finished high school, she started taking classes at Fordham University [6] (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). [7]

In 2017, Misseldine was awarded second place at the Youth America Grand Prix competition in senior women's classical. [8] In 2018, she competed in the prestigious Prix de Lausanne, [9] and was a finalist, [10] again following in her mother's footsteps (Yan Chen was a prizewinner at the competition in 1987). [11]

Career

Misseldine joined American Ballet Theatre's Studio Company in 2018 after participating in multiple ABT Summer Intensives. [12] She became an apprentice with the main company in December 2019, [6] but only had a few months before the pandemic hit. During the pandemic, she returned home to Orlando, where she ended up performing with the Orlando Ballet (who had returned to in-person work before ABT did) [13] in productions of Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and Jorden Morris' Moulin Rouge. [6]

Misseldine joined the Corps de Ballet of ABT by September 2021, and was promoted to the rank of soloist in September 2022. [12] In July 2024, she was promoted to Principal dancer by director Susan Jaffe on stage after a sold-out run of Swan Lake. [14]
