More Dance with Alexandra

Yes, I started in ballet as so many of us did. My adult dance included CanCan as well as belly dance performing, producing and choreography, with first cabaret then tribal ATS® and Fusion belly dance. I have learned from the best like Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Alexis Southall, and Amira. In 2015, I was immersed in Moroccan culture, art and music while learning fusion from Jill Parker in the Sahara Desert.

FatChanceBellyDance® Style

FCBD® style or American Tribal Style (also known as ATS®) is a method of belly dance developed in California by Carolena Nericcio and her troupe FatChanceBellyDance®. This improvisational dance form is known world-wide and is based on steps in formations and patterns with a system of cues. Alexandra will up the ante with props as well. This is rolled into a fun group dance experience!

Fly Fusion® Modern Style of BellyDance

FlyFusion® is an fascinating take on bellydance fusion. FlyFusion® is based in improv meant for groups of experienced dancers with unique and very modern movements. FlyFusion® is the 10-year-old creation of Violet Kind who instructs, certifies and mentors her teachers in this very creative style based in extraordinary body movement.

Background

Early Motivation and Movement

Cheerleading and gymnastics were part of the early years leading to a sports scholarship at the University of Texas at Austin. Alexandra toured on scholarship throughout the southern United States with ex-Olympic coach Patrick Yeager's demonstration teams. Under his leadership, she grew to coach and mentor nationally rated students, and became a USGA regional judge.

Performances

Alexandra and her dance troupes have performed in public and juried events in Kansas City, San Francesco, Houston, Chicago, Phoenix and locales in California.. Of course you can catch them on home turf at various community, charity and private events in and around the Wichita, Kansas area.

Choreography and Production

Alexandra is known for choreography that sparks the imagination and awe from an audience. She is just as comfortable working with soloists as a full stage of dancers. She was Director of Choreography and co-producer in the first belly dance production at Wichita's historic Orpheum Theatre with a grant from the Wichita Arts Council. Her troupes perform her original choreography and also improv.
