Alumni and working ballerina, Chloe Capulong visits HAD.
Posted: by Teresa June
We are so excited to welcome Chloe back to HAD to help teach and inspire our current HAD dancers! She is a working dancer who travels the world but will be in town this summer and has agreed to help teach at our Summer Intensive. Read on to learn about Chloe’s path to dancing success!
Chloe started ballet at the age of 3 in Mommy and Me classes, trained at the Huntington Academy of Dance from the age of 7 to 17, and attended the Orange County School of the Arts from 7th to 10th grade. She danced many roles with Ballet Etudes, her favorite being the Dew Drop Fairy, and completed Cecchetti exams up until Grade 10. She competed in YAGP for multiple years where she was awarded 1st place contemporary and 2nd place classical and received a full scholarship to attend the Joffrey Ballet Trainee Program in Chicago year round. She moved to Chicago at age 17 in 2020 and attended the program for 2 years where she danced Serenade by Balanchine, Nutcracker by Wheeldon, and Don Quixote by Possokov. In 2022, she got her first job with the Junior Ballet Zurich in Switzerland and danced with the company for one year, performing works by Marco Goecke, Crystal Pite, Christian Spuck, and more. At the end of 2022, she was offered a corps de ballet contract with the Staatsballett Berlin and has been dancing there happily since August of 2023. She has gotten to perform works from William Forsythe, Crystal Pite, Sharon Eyal, Christian Spuck, and more, and attributed much of her achievement to her supportive teachers from HAD.
