Cristin Chabot
Cristin Chabot began her dance education at the age of three-years-old. After studying with Boston Ballet and other local studios in the Boston and Cambridge areas, Chabot attended the National Academy of the Arts in Champaign, llinois, under the direction of Petrus Bosman. She then moved on to attend North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA). Upon graduation from NCSA, Chabot auditioned for professional ballet companies. She landed her first job with Ballet West as a member of the corps de ballet where she performed in many repertory pieces, as well as numerous classical ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, The Dream, and The Nutcracker. After performing with Ballet West, Chabot took a job performing as a principal dancer and teaching for Northwest Florida Ballet in Pensacola, Florida, where she eventually became the assistant director and choreographer. Since then, Chabot has accumulated over twenty-five years of teaching dance. She teaches all levels of ballet technique and pointe. Additionally, she choreographed many pieces for Phillips Exeter Academy, Donna Coco's Performance Plus, and Corpus Christi Ballet Academy. Chabot attended UMASS Boston on a full scholarship for excellence in the arts and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA. She also holds a master's degree in education from Lesley University. She has worked as a public-school teacher for eleven years.
Kylee Goodwin
Kylee Goodwin is a dance artist, choreographer and educator whose work bridges technical training with emotional depth. Having trained extensively across styles and with world-renowned choreographers worldwide, she has developed a versatile voice that moves fluidly between genres and disciplines. Her artistry expands beyond the studio into production and creation—most recently serving as director and producer of Ebb And Alchemy, a movement art exhibition in Boston, Massachusetts (May 2025). As a video editor and creative storyteller, Kylee continues to explore how movement can live both on stage and on screen.
As an educator, Kylee curates workshops that invite dancers to move from their emotional bodies, weaving in elements of spirituality and creative exploration to reignite a genuine love for dance. Her teaching philosophy stems from a keen understanding of what young dancers often miss: the opportunity to connect with movement as more than technique. By centering curiosity, embodiment, and artistry, Kylee aims to nurture not only stronger dancers, but more expansive, expressive humans.
