Alexa Fung is a professional dancer from Los Angeles, California, and trains in a variety of dance 
styles ranging from hip hop, contemporary, and tap. She graduated from Cal State Northridge in May, 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Her mother was classically trained in ballet and Alexa got her start in dance by following in her mother’s footsteps when her mother placed her in ballet classes as a child. Alexa was later enrolled in tap and jazz. She took her first hip hop class in middle school, fell in love with it, and has pursued it ever since.
Her happiest moment related to dance was being able to perform on So You Think You Can Dance with Academy of Villains. Alexa says it was such a surreal experience to be able to perform on the same stage that she saw on TV every week.
Something Alexa always wanted to do is work on a movie. She is a bit of a movie junkie, so being able to work in that field of entertainment that she loves so much would definitely be amazing.
Alexa’s goals for this year are to train even harder, working more on her performance qualities and freestyle. In addition, she is working on expanding into the field of acting and has been taking classes
for that.
She hopes dance is able to take her around the world, allowing her to travel and perform in different countries.
Her advice for dancers who want to become professional one day is just to train, train, and train even more in your craft. Never stay comfortable with where you are. A lot of jobs in Los Angeles are based on your look, but superior talent and skill beats that any day of the week. Be so good that they can’t afford to not hire you.
