Chelsie Hightower Biography

Chelsie Hightower is a nationally recognized professional dancer from Orem, Utah. She was a fan favorite, All-Star and choreographer on FOX’s hit TV show, “So You Think You Can Dance.” Additional recognition came to Hightower when two of her and her partner’s performances were nominated for Emmy awards. She then traveled the U.S. in a national arena tour with that season’s top ten finalists.

Soon after, Hightower made her debut as a professional dancer on ABC’s "Dancing With The Stars" where she worked for the next eight seasons. Her partners have ranged from Olympic athletes to world-renowned entertainers. She was nominated for an Emmy award for a dance she choreographed with fellow cast mate Derek Hough. She has choreographed or assisted in choreographing performances for stars such as Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Whitney Houston, John Legend, Jewel, The Goo Goo Dolls, Martina McBride, and The Bee Gee’s.

In her competitive career, she represented the United States at the Jr. British Open Championships and consistently placed in the top three in the country. She was trained by some of the world’s top coaches such as Shirley Ballas, Katusha Demidova, Jonathan Wilkins, Vibeka Taus, Louis Van Amstel, Paul Green, Karina Smirnoff, to name a few.

Hightower has been on the cover of several national fitness and dance magazines as well as being the face of Reebok's dance line. She has toured the country for three years with Revive Dance Convention and Embody Dance Convention as well as teaching at prestigious dance studios like Steps on Broadway in New York City.

Hightower also had experience as a host on Fox’s local TV show, “The Place” from 2018-2019 and dabbled in theater and stage acting, playing Tina Sparkle in the U.S. premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s “Strictly Ballroom” in 2019. She played the leading role of Olivia on the Lifetime movie "Stalked in Paradise" and supporting roles in Hallmark’s in "Enchanted Christmas" and "Emma."

With a desire to share what she has learned through her experiences and connections in the dance world, Hightower started “Dance Elevated” summer camps in 2016.
