Alexis has been a dancer to watch throughout the revival of So You Think You Can Dance. On Tuesday night, it was revealed that she’s taking home the prize of $100,000 and the title of “America’s Favorite Dancer.” The dancer was near tears while accepting the prize. Even though the American viewers were unable to vote for the winner, they’re happy with the judges pick.
The 21 year old Utah native came into the competition to compete under the style of Latin Ballroom. Even though Latin Ballroom is her main style, she flawlessly performed each assigned style weekly.
Alexis began dancing at the age of six and has been trained in ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, tap, gymnastics, and ballroom.
