She began her training in ballet (Cecchetti and RAD) and subsequently expanded into other styles of dance including pointe, jazz, lyrical, tap, contemporary, modern (Limón and Graham), musical theatre and hip hop.

In addition to her love of dance Alexandra is also a gifted photographer and videographer.
