About Kristin

Kristin is the daughter of Manuel and Debbi Lucero and sister to Phil Lucero. Her passion for dance, movement, and community began at age three when she was enrolled in her first ballet class at Prince Ballet in Santa Fe, NM. She quickly discovered a love for jazz dance and continued her training at multiple studios in Santa Fe, including The Dance Academy and Cathy Roe Productions. In elementary school, Kristin also developed a love for music, singing, and performing, and by seventh grade she auditioned for her first musical at Santa Fe Prep. Performing regularly in dance, musical theater, music, theater, and piano, she cultivated a deep appreciation for the performing arts. Kristin is grateful for her family’s early support, which laid the foundation for her pursuit of a degree in Dance and Theater at Skidmore College in New York.
