Get to know Alexandra
When did you start dancing, and why?
I started dancing when I was six years old. My parents decided to enroll my sister and me in classes when we were young because that type of movement and coordination is so important.
What inspires you to be a professional dancer?
I am constantly motivated by those around me. There is so much talent in this company, and I want to live up to that.
Why did you choose BSA, and for some both BSA-SBSA?
I chose Ballet San Antonio because our director, Sofiane Sylve, has so much knowledge, and I want to learn everything I can from her. Since being here, she and other dancers have shared so much information that continues to inspire me to be better.
