<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alex has a way about teaching that allows the class environment to feel extremely inviting and safe. Along with being wise and having expertise about the body, Alex is always open to discussion and helping everyone with their own kinesthetic awareness in becoming smarter dancers. In her classes, it feels like a real dance laboratory where exploration and growth is deeply encouraged. Alex shows immense care for every single student, and goes above and beyond for them in any ways she can. Everyone at SUU is so inspired by her humility, love, and passion for dance, and it ultimately becomes contagious."</span></p>
