Chelsie was born July 21, 1989 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Chelsie and her family moved to Orem, Utah, when she was 6. Chelsie was the youngest in the family of 6 children. She and her five siblings who were all boys used to play all kinds of sports and especially soccer.
It was not until Chelsie was 9, that she started dancing ballroom dances socially at the after-school ballroom dance program. Later she joined a studio where she trained in Hip-Hop, Jazz, Ballet, and Ballroom dances.
Chelsie’s natural talent for dance was shining through, which helps explain why she was approached by the audition team of a rising Latin ballroom youth star, Bradley Gregory. After auditioning in front of a legendary Latin Ballroom Coach Shirley Ballas, Chelsie was selected, and thus her world Latin ballroom dancing career has began.
Bradley’s uncle spared no expense to help Bradley and Chelsie improve their dancing. He hired world class coaches such as Karina Smirnoff, who would train the couple one-on-one for an hour and a half every day.
