My name is Alexa Fote and I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University. I grew up in Dayton, Ohio and I started dancing when I was three years old. I began studying at the South Dayton School of Dance taking ballet, modern, jazz and tap. As I got older and more serious I joined their pre professional company which I was a part of for seven years until graduating high school in 2017. While in the company I went to four Regional Dance Americas to perform multiple contemporary pieces by choreographers including Shannon Bramham, Abby Leithart, and Susie Payne. I attended summer programs throughout my high school years including the American Ballet Theatre, Point Park University, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. I believe my movement is distinctive because of the passion I put behind it. I tend to find initiation points easily which gives my movement a certain quality that other movers sometimes lack.  My goal for a future career is to open up my own studio and pursue my love for childhood education and dance. I believe that there is no greater feeling than to add value or passion to someone else's life. I want to take my enthusiasm and use it to help kids feel excited about dance the way I am. Today I am working on creating an outreach program for schools and community centers in the San Diego area as well as teaching in the studio ages 2-18. I am beyond blessed to do what I love everyday and share my passion.
