All-State Dance Team 2024: Alexyia Shipp-Ardson

Alexyia Shipp-Ardson

FREEPORT DANCE TEAM (sophomore)

1ST TIME ON THE 8CA ALL-STATE DANCE TEAM

I have been dancing since I was around 3-4: from that age to 12 danced recreationally and then from 12-15 I have danced competitively.   

My favorite memory from the dance team is overall laughing and have fun with the dancers on my team. It is the best feeling in the world to love what you’re doing and having amazing people surrounding you.  

The “thing” you should know about me is I love dancing. Dancing is what I surround my life in; it has changed me for the better. I have made relationships, learned life skills, and so much more dancing.

Ellie, Maddie, and Madelyne (teammates). My mother and my family (supporters). S&R Dance Studio.

I like to perform jazz and watch contemporary. 

I like to read and watch movies and shows. 

Alexyia is a gorgeous dancer. She is has phenomenal presence on the floor and amazing leaps. She is an asset to to the team.
