Bio

Kyra Soo is a Soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company. She joined the RWB Company as an Apprentice in 2021 after completing her training in the Anna McCowan-Johnson Aspirant Program, was promoted to the Corps de Ballet in 2022, and to Soloist for the 2026/27 season.

Her repertoire with the Company includes Giselle in Giselle, Aurora and the Lilac Fairy in The Sleeping Beauty, Snow White in Angelin Preljocaj’s Snow White, Nellie in Jekyll & Hyde, and Cour d’Amours in Carmina Burana. She has also performed several roles in Nutcracker, including Clara, Sugarplum, Josephine, and Spanish, as well as roles in Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, The Handmaid’s Tale: Based on the Novel by Margaret Atwood, and Val Caniparoli’s A Cinderella Story.

Born in Vancouver, Kyra began dancing at the age of three and started her formal training at 13 with the Goh Ballet Academy, studying under Yao Ping Zhu and Chan Hon Goh.

When she is not dancing, Kyra enjoys spending time with friends and family, cooking, baking, and playing video games. She is drawn to roles where she can become fully immersed in the character and bring the story to life. In the future, she aspires to perform Seventh Symphony, The Wizard of Oz, and Serenade.
