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.

During his time at UA, Coltin trained under professionals such as Amy Ernst, Michael Williams, Sam Watson, Tamara Dyke-Compton, and several other esteemed faculty. He was also very fortunate to perform in works and experience repertory by Martha Graham, Frank Chavez, Paul Taylor, Larry Keigwin, David Parsons, and several other world-renowned artists. While at UA, Coltin also studied and completed the Fletcher Pilates Foundational Program. He spent over 600 hours training in and observing Pilates with Kyria Sabin, Deborah Mendoza, and Martha Eccles-Ramirez to gain his Pilates certification.

In September of 2021, Coltin joined Vitacca Ballet, under the direction of Kelly Ann Vitacca, as an inaugural company member. Since joining, he has worked with industry professionals such as Cherice Barton, Micaela Taylor, Hélène Simoneau, Robyn Mineko Williams, Ethan Colangelo, Garrett Smith, Sean Aaron Carmon, and several others. He is in his fourth season with the company. In addition to his work with Vitacca Ballet, Coltin has guested at Kingwood Ballet in Kingwood, TX, Juxtapose Emphasis Theater in Clear Lake, TX, Chula Vista Ballet in San Diego, CA, and Ballet Centre Utah, Inc. in Murray, UT.
