Dance has always flowed through Alex Kessinger’s veins. Raised in Southern California, she started her wonderful journey with dance at the age of four at her mother’s dance studio, West Coast School of the Arts. Alex started working as a child actor and dancer at the age of 6, where she had the opportunity to be a part of numerous commercials, print work, and even danced with Martin Short and Tim Allen in Disney’s Santa Claus 3. Dancing has given Alex many unique opportunities to participate in various competitions where she has won many awards and national titles. After winning a national title in 2011, she got to travel to Australia to represent the United States where she won the gold. After her competitive dance career, she furthered her education at Chapman University, where she was one of few that was awarded both a talent and scholastic scholarship. Alex graduated Cum Laude from Chapman University in 2016 with a BFA in Dance Performance and a minor in Theater Technology.  Some of her achievements have been dancing with Jojo Siwa, choreographing for the LA Rams Cheerleaders, a digital backup dancer in Paula Abdul’s tour “Straight Up Paula”, being featured on So You Think You Can Dance, assisting on national commercials with Michael Rooney, television shows such as the newest hit tv show “GLOW” with Marguerite Derricks, teaching on multiple conventions, and dancing in and choreographing for many music videos. Alex is now choreographing, judging and teaching across the globe while still pursuing the “starving artist’s” dream!
