Level Up! With Shay

Most, if not all, people have a passion. What happens when your passion becomes something you get graded on? Something you get judged on? It tends to lose its steam. After dancing from a young age to getting her BFA at Columbia College in Chicago, that’s almost exactly what happened to Alexa.

Right after graduation she moved out to Los Angeles, but was still overwhelmed by the years of a college dance curriculum that she decided to step away for a bit. Within those two years of no formal dancing, she took that time to question a lot of things. The identity of being a dancer has been a part of her entire life, but she thought that maybe she was more than that. And, no doubt, she is.

She is now a personal trainer, infatuated with yoga – something she never expected – very active on TikTok, her meme account, and social media in general, and back to dancing! Opening her awareness allowed her to see there was something on the other side of being a dancer – and even though she is still exploring, she is now the one in control of her destination.
