Kaylie Gaines

Kaylie Gaines is in 9th grade and is a hybrid student through Forsyth Virtual Academy and West Forsyth High School. She has been dancing for 12 years, and this is her third year as an SBT Company dancer. Her favorite styles of dance are jazz and lyrical, and her favorite part of being in SBT is the friendships she has made and the opportunities she has been given to grow in her dance journey.

Kaylie’s most treasured company memory was performing at the 2026 KSU Dance Festival.

Beyond the studio, Kaylie is a volunteer with Operation Christmas Child throughout the year. She is also active in her church youth group, where she volunteers during Vacation Bible School and serves on Sunday mornings with the Kids Worship Team. Her favorite colors are baby pink and baby blue. She enjoys spending time with friends, shopping, and going to the beach. After high school, she plans to attend college to pursue a career in the medical field while continuing to dance.

She would like to thank her parents, sisters, friends, and teachers for their constant support and encouragement throughout her dance journey.

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” – Wayne Dyer

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take.” – Proverbs 3:5–6
