Kayla Kalbfleisch (born on November 11, 1988) is a professional dancer, choreographer, actress, singer, and former competitive dancer. When Kayla was eight years old, she began training at Christine Harper's Dance West in Clark County, Nevada. Kalbfleisch attended a performing arts high school for two years before receiving her diploma through a home-schooling program to focus on dance. But she ultimately decided to put her passion on hold, earning a BS in biology from the University of California, San Diego.

Kayla had the opportunity at an early age to dance and work for Warner Brothers and Disney. She was selected in 1999 by Radio City Music Hall to perform the role of Clara en-pointe, and Little Girl for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show. Kayla participated in numerous charity benefits for hospice care and cancer patients, allowing her to travel to places like Las Vegas, NV and Dallas, TX. Kayla was selected to compete on Star Search. She was an assistant for JUMP Dance Convention and West Coast Dance Explosion, traveling across the country for two years. During this time, she was able to dance with tremendous talents, performing a duet with Nick Lazarrini (So You Think You Can Dance Year 1 champion). WCDE next sent Kayla, as part of the staff, to teach on their Australian Tour. While living in Las Vegas, Kayla danced and sang for a popular band called Sunset Strip. They performed nightly at Planet Hollywood and the Hilton, and were even selected to be a main act at Sylvester Stallone's 60th birthday party. Kayla assisted Mandy Moore and was selected by Liz Imperio as a dance associate and assistant. Kayla, as a member of Liz Imperio's dance company Instincts Live Media, performed at the Jazz World Congress in Chicago during the summer of 2008. She has also been a member of Travis Wall's dance company, Shaping Sound.

Kayla was previously a dance teacher and choreographer at Academy of Performing Arts: San Diego. She has also taught at Danceology Performing Arts Campus.
