Alexandria Best (she/her) is a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, where she began her pre-professional dance training. During that time, she acquired knowledge from instructors across such institutions as American Ballet Theatre, Arts Umbrella, Carolina Ballet, Damiani Dance, French Academie of Ballet, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. She is a 2021 graduate of Pace University, where she earned her BFA in dance, with a concentration in performance and pedagogy, and a minor in business. Immediately following graduation, Alexandria joined Hubbard Street as a company artist under the direction of Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell. Now going into her fifth season, she has had the opportunity to perform a diverse body of repertoire by many great-minded artists. She was honored to be named a 2023 Princess Grace Foundation Award winner in dance, and to join its legacy of artists. Alexandria is thrilled to continue her time growing her artistry and community with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in its upcoming season.
