Additionally, she has performed at various festivals and conferences, such as the American Dance Guild Festival, the American College Dance Association East-Central Conference, the Cleveland Severance Hall Commemorative Concert, the Cleveland Dance Festival, the “Dancing Together” Mount Vernon Festival, and the Ohio Statehouse Holiday festival.

To supplement her studies, Kylie has participated in several intensive programs. These include the SALT Contemporary Dance’s LINK Festival, New Dialect Winter Intensive, BODYTRAFFIC Summer Program, Alonzo King LINES Ballet Summer Program, and Regional Dance America's National Choreography Intensive under the direction of Peter Chu.
