From a few of her students,

"Kileigh pushes you to do your best and all her classes are very fun. She always provides so much help and treats her students like family. "

"She gives us great choreography, at competitions she helped up figure out where to go and where to set our props too. Kileigh always gave us great critiques on what we did well and what we could do better."

"Kileigh is amazing! She comes up with fun dance combos and makes learning hard things easier."

Kileigh Boatwright grew up in Altoona, Iowa, where she trained extensively in a variety of dance styles and tumbling at Pat Barton Dance Studio. She later continued her training at Theater Arts Preparatory School in Las Vegas before returning to Iowa during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, she returned to Pat Barton Dance Studio as a full-time dance teacher. She taught students from second through twelfth grade, choreographed competition pieces, and helped maintain the studio’s online platform throughout COVID-19 closures.


Kileigh moved back to Las Vegas in June 2021 to pursue her dream of becoming a professional dancer. That August, she joined rehearsals for the reopening of WOW – The Vegas Spectacular, where she spent a year performing as a dancer and acrobat. Over the course of 481 shows, she also assisted the dance captain with reblocks and auditions, regularly stepping into new roles as needed.


Just weeks after ending her year-long contract, Kileigh began a contract with Royal Caribbean Entertainment aboard Oasis of the Seas, performing in Aqua 80. While performing in the show, she shared the stage with other dancers, divers, high divers, synchronized swimmers, and slackliners. There, she earned her scuba diving certification and performed in technically demanding underwater sequences, adding a unique element to her experience as a performer.

Between her two cruise contracts, Kileigh returned to Las Vegas and continued working throughout the entertainment scene. This included dancing at Delilah in the Wynn, go-go dancing at venues including Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, performing at the Fontainebleau opening and the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Opening Ceremony featuring J Balvin and will.i.am under the direction of Nappytabs, and taking part in events such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Choreographers Carnival, flash mobs, and other corporate and private productions throughout the city.


Kileigh returned to Royal Caribbean Entertainment aboard Ovation of the Seas, performing in the 270-degree theater show Spectra’s Cabaret. Alongside performing, she took on the role of wardrobe manager, overseeing more than 80 costumes, handling daily repairs and alterations, and keeping everything show-ready. She also communicated with shoreside staff through weekly reports and inventory requests to help keep wardrobe operations running smoothly throughout the contract.

Since returning to Las Vegas, Kileigh has continued expanding her experience across entertainment, events, and brand activations. Her recent work includes performing with the Las Vegas Desert Dogs Dance Team, representing brands at major conventions, and taking on promotional and event-hosting roles throughout the city.

Outside of performing, Kileigh’s passion for choreography and teaching continues to be a big part of her career. She continues to choreograph for studios, teach pop-up classes, and set competition pieces whenever her schedule allows.
