She has trained with the Boston Ballet School and Maestro Vincenzo Celli and was on scholarship at the School of American Ballet. She graduated cm laude with a B.F.A. in dance performance from Boston Conservatory, where she was the first recipient of the prestigious Ruth Sandholm Ambrose Award and later received the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. She has studied and performed with ballet, concert dance, and Broadway legends from around the world.

Chassé has directed and choreographed numerous productions for the esteemed musical theater program at the Conservatory, most recently Swing!, a celebration of jazz and the deep connection between music and dance. Other shows include Catch Me If You Can, A Chorus Line, and Candide, for which efforts she has received critical acclaim within Boston and New York ranks. She received a 2014 ArtsImpulse Best Musical nomination for her direction of Boston Conservatory’s On the Town and was awarded Best Choreography for the same production. Her work on Le Cabaret Grimm, featured in the 2012 New York Musical Theatre Festival, earned her an honorable mention at that festival’s awards ceremony, and in that same year her concert dance piece Red Smoke Rises was performed by Boston’s Urbanity Dance company at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Chassé created and continues to direct the acclaimed Boston Conservatory Musical Theater Dance Intensive (MTDI) summer program, which is attended by dance students from around the world.
