From Small-Town Roots, a Dance Dream Blooms

Abigail Lind is a dynamic leader and passionate advocate for the performing arts, recently serving as Executive Director of the Springfield Ballet and Vice Chair of the Missouri Dance Education Committee. Abigail began her own dance journey in Chanute, Kansas, inspired by M. Beth Bell.

Abigail earned her BFA in Dance Performance from Missouri State University, where she studied under Ruth Barnes, the late Sara Brummel, and Darryl K. Clark. Her career encompasses both artistic and administrative roles across the U.S. and internationally, including work with Dance Theatre of Ireland.

Abigail brings a unique blend of creative and operational expertise back home to Chanute this Fall. She is committed to making dance accessible, meaningful, and transformative for all—whether on stage, in the studio, or throughout the community.
