Dance with Alexandria

Alexandria is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, researcher, and certified dance-in-medicine practitioner working at the intersection of dance, arts in health, and Afrofuturism. Her background in dance in medicine led her to investigate how sacred movement serves as an independent blueprint for restoring an unrestricted inner flow, reclaiming the free will continuously disrupted by systemic erasure, caste, and class divisions. To execute this research, she created Dancing Back to Self, a multidisciplinary methodology that bridges ethnographic inquiry and performance devising.

​

Through dance and community-devising workshops that target self-doubt and antisocial behavior, Alexandria translates her findings into performance. Using theatrical design and the embodiment of knowledge, her performances engage audiences in whimsically cathartic dialogues that work to disrupt intercultural discrimination and engineer real-world solutions for community healing and mental health recovery. As an educator and certified Dunham Technique teacher, she brings these foundational principles onto the dance floor, using the technique alongside her own practice to teach holistic dance methods that help students understand themselves, connect across cultures, and build community through creativity.
