Alexis Willis
Waxahachie
Summary
I started dancing at the age of 13 and continued until I graduated high school. I took a break from dance and missed it so I decided to get back in the dance world in college. I am a dancer with extensive experience performing in front of live audiences. Skilled in body control and balance with excellent memorization and retention of choreography. Highly collaborative and works well under pressure. I'm a dedicated performer with an innate sense of rhythm and a penchant for movement. I am skilled in multiple dance techniques and styles and understand dance notation or choreography. I am flexible and coordinated with a good sense of timing, and musicality, and disciplined with a relentless work ethic.
