Kiara McIlravey
Non Union
Kiara is a Canadian based dancer born and raised in Red Deer, Alberta. She grew up dancing at multiple studios, training extensively in all styles including Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Musical Theater, and Acrobatics. She has always had a deep love for dance but her passion for the artform intensified after being accepted to and training at the Joffrey Ballet School’s Commercial Dance Program in New York City.
Kiara’s well-rounded talent has opened the door to multiple professional opportunities including the principal role in a national ad campaign for Specsavers, performing as a dancer as well as a chorus performer in the CW’s Riverdale, performing as a solo artist in the music video “My Mind” for Outr3each, performing on stage as a back up dancer in Victoria Raskin’s inaugural Vancouver concert, working as a skeleton crew dancer for the “Set Me Free” music video for BTS, working as a motion capture actor for a project with EA Games and many more. Kiara truly believes in sharing her love and knowledge of the dance industry and has assisted Triple Threat Dance Convention in all their touring cities across Canada.
She graduated from Shelley’s Dance Company, under the tutelage of Shelley Tookey, and Penhold School of Dance, where she focused heavily on her ballet training with Kirsten Kowalchuk. From there, her dance career moved her out to Vancouver in the summer of 2021, after receiving early acceptance into Moe Brody’s Intensive Training Program at Harbour Dance Centre. During her first year Kiara did everything possible to engage with the extensive art community that thrives in Vancouver. She understands the importance of continuous training so you can regularly find her taking drop-ins and progressive programs at multiple studios across the city as well as taking Ballroom privates to expand her Repertoire. Shortly after Kiara moved to Vancouver she discovered her love for acting. She is really enjoying finding the balance and the crossover between herself as a dancer and as an actor and how the two artforms compliment each other so seamlessly. She has also recently started taking vocal lessons to round out being a true triple threat – dancing, acting and singing.
In Kiara’s free time, aside from pursuing the arts, you can find her spending time with her family, swimming, hiking, boxing or in the kitchen cooking. Kiara’s goal as an artist is to create art that uplifts people, and firmly believes that her keen interest and attentiveness in her own artistic journey will draw people in and leave them wanting more.
