Kylee Peterson

Kylee learned to walk on her toes and knew she wanted to be a dancer by age four. At nine years old she began to take a serious interest in ballet and was privileged to be a student in the inaugural class of Studio R Ballet. In 2010 Kylee was a part of the first annual Nutcracker for the studio and performed the lead Arabian role six years in a row. In 2013 she auditioned and earned a spot in Ballet Arizona's Summer Intensive Program performing at the end of the summer in their new school facility. She has taken classes under the direction of Robbin Elowe, Joseph Cavanaugh, Carlos Valcarcel, Daniel Baudendistel, and many other professional dancers. She is known for her stage presence as she performed in every show presented by SRB until the end of 2016. Kylee began teaching Pre-Ballet levels as well as some of the lower levels in SRB's Formal Division in 2016 and continues to instruct some of the youngest dancers at the studio. She choreographed dances for the 2021 Halloween show and enjoys any opportunity to create movement. She still tears up watching any SRB Nutcracker finale and loves to watch her dancers gain confidence by being on stage. She graduated from Arizona State University with a Business Communication degree and currently resides with her husband and son, Oliver, in the Mesa area.
