Miss McKaylah is an Atlanta-based dancer and choreographer, as well as a current student at Kennesaw State University, studying both Dance and Public Relations. She has strong technique in contemporary, ballet, hip hop, jazz, commercial jazz, and tap. She has had her choreographic works featured in festivals and shows such as Spectra Vol. 1 hosted by Monica Hogan Danceworks, the Fall for Fall Festival, The Choreographer’s Showcase, and the KSU Dance ChoreoLab 2022, 2023, and 2024. She has been fortunate enough to attend many summer intensives, including the Debbie Allen Dance Academy Summer Intensive and the BODYTRAFFIC Summer Intensive. During her time at KSU, she has taken classes from Autumn Eckman, Billy James Hawkins III, Caitlin Gray, Lisa K. Lock, and Mcree O’Kelly, and has had the opportunity to work with many local and international guest artists. McKaylah has also taken additional classes with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, Jamal White, Juel D. Lane, Martha Nichols, and Brian Friedman. She has also gotten the opportunity to study abroad in Amsterdam with artists, such as Emma Evelein and Dereck Cayla, at Henny Jurienns Studio and ICK Dans.
