Alix loves dancing. She danced when she was younger but stopped in high school. She is happy to dance again. She wants to learn ballroom dancing and dance with a partner.
She feels nervous about performing live on TV. “I am scared I will forget my dance,” she says. She is excited to meet everyone on the show.
