McKinley “Kinley” Rae Cunningham (aka Kinley Full Out) (born on December 22, 2010) is a young teenage entertainer from California, who has trained at Mather Dance Company under the direction of Shannon Mather, Beyond Belief Dance Company under the direction of Justin Johnson, The Dance Spot under the direction of Quinton Weathers, Studio Siwa under the direction of JoJo Siwa, Crew Studios under the direction of Mollee Gray, and with Guy Groove.
Kinley started dancing at the age of two years old, acting at five and professional singing at 10 years old. In 2021, she was cast in Siwa's Dance Pop Revolution, a television series for Peacock and E! which depicted eleven girls competing for a spot in the pop group, XOMG POP! Kinley became a member of the team but she left the group in 2023, refocusing efforts in her own music, pushing her dance skills and exploring her interest in acting. This produced multiple immediate results, including a Guy Groove class video gone viral as well as new feature and television representation by the prestigious Paradigm Talent Agency.
Kinley currently trains with The Crew Dancers under the direction of Mollee Gray and Jeka Jane. Kinley also models for Jo and Jax and has had her own clothing line with XOMG POP! alongside the rest of the group. Kinley appeared in A Snow White Christmas in 2018 and in 2022 she played the part of a dancing elf in the Disney Plus series The Santa Clauses, based on the hit classic movie The Santa Clause, and returned in season two.
