Coltin Snyder grew up in Tooele, Utah and began his dance training with N-Step Dance Academy. Coltin then attended the Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts (SLSPA), where he came under the instruction of Bethany Hansen, Michelle Armstrong, and Jessie Metcalf-McCullough. These three influential women helped Coltin gain the flexibility, control, work ethic, confidence, and so much more needed to carry his career to the professional level. Upon graduating SLSPA, Coltin was fortunate to receive an invitation to attend the University of Arizona (UA) School of Dance, where he graduated summa cum laude with a B.F.A. in dance and a B.S.B.A. in accounting in May of 2021.

Coltin is a former inaugural member of Vitacca Ballet where he performed works choreographed by Micaela Taylor, Hélène Simoneau, Garrett Smith, and Sean Aaron Carmon, among others. In August of 2025, Coltin debuted as a company member with Bruce Wood Dance Dallas. In his short time with the company, he has performed works by notable choreographers such as Robert Battle, Lar Lubovitch, Bruce Wood, and Joy Bollinger, as well as premiered his own choreography on the members of the company.

In addition to his professional performing career, Coltin has guested with Dallas Repertoire Ballet in Allen, TX, Kingwood Ballet in Kingwood, TX, Chula Vista Ballet in San Diego, CA, and Ballet Centre Utah, Inc. in Murray, UT, as well as served as a company manager and rehearsal director.
