Alexa Kaminski

Alexa moved to beautiful Steamboat Springs from Lafayette, Indiana, in 2021, ready to share her deep-rooted passion for dance with her new home! She has been a competitive dancer since the age of 5 and is experienced in many genres, including ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap, modern, lyrical, musical theater, and pom. Her high school years were spent training and competing with the pre-professional company at Expressenz Dance Center. She was cast in the Nutcracker all four years, where she performed the Lead Angel and Lead Spanish role while partnering with Butler University’s professional male leads. In college, Alexa was a member of the Purdue University dance team. She competed through the National Dance Alliance (NDA) and trained in contemporary, jazz, pom, and hip hop while performing at Big 10 football games and men’s basketball games.

While dancing is Alexa’s favorite pastime, teaching has also become an essential part of her life. For five years, she was an instructor and competition team coach at Studio b in Lafayette. As a result, she has won several 1st overall placements and special awards for her group and solo choreography. In Alexa’s last two years living in Lafayette, she was the head coach and director of Harrison High School’s advanced dance team program that competed through the state competition, IHSDTA.

After moving to Steamboat Springs, Alexa jumped right into Steamboat’s growing adult dance community! She is a member of Steamboat Dance Theater and takes classes with Steamboat Dance + Fitness’s very own Forty 106 Dance Project. She also founded the Dance Team at Steamboat Springs High School in 2022 and loves being the head coach. She even led them to a 1st place finish at regional competition in their first year!
