Kylie Fraile is 17 years old and began her dancing journey on her fifth birthday with Riverside Ballet Arts. At age 9, she found her “home” with Inland Pacific Ballet Academy, learning how to grow as an artist strengthening and refining her technique and artistry. Kylie’s experience with IPB Academy includes several annual spring recitals of The Sleeping Beauty, Coppélia, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Swan Lake, and The Little Mermaid. This will be Kylie’s fifth year performing in IPB’s The Nutcracker; she is incredibly grateful to have danced the role of Clara in the 2022 production. In addition to several years participating in IPB Academy’s summer intensive, Kylie has had the privilege of training at San Francisco Ballet School for two consecutive summers. Furthermore, Kylie has placed top 24 in the Senior Division at Youth America Grand Prix for two years, Top 12 and Top 6 in the Large Ensemble category- which granted her the opportunity and honor of being invited to YAGP Finals in Tampa, FL (2022-2023). Kylie looks forward to the new season and acknowledges every opportunity she is given to illustrate her passion for ballet. She expresses a tremendous amount of gratitude towards her family and instructors.
