Alexandra Cooney
Dancer Model Singer Actress International
How it All Started
Alexandra's dance career was launched at the tender age of 2 while attending her first recital and watching her big sister grace the stage. She was instantly hooked and, from that moment, knew exactly what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Some might say she is extremely fortunate, which she agrees with, but her career success wouldn’t have been realized without her passion, hard work, focus and drive to make this the life she always imagined.
Born and raised in Braintree Massachusetts, Alexandra started her dance training with Melissa Kelley Clark and for 15 years studied at the Dance Studio Of Braintree, performing in the annual production of the Braintree Ballet Company's "The Nutcracker", including roles as Clara, and Dew Drop Fairy among others. She continued to pursue her love of dance and then attended Dean College, Franklin MA, receiving her Associates Degree, having been selected as a member of the hip hop team "Synergy" along with being chosen to train at the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive in New York. She then spread her butterfly wings to further her studies and travelled to Oklahoma City University, majoring in Dance Performance, and was cast in the American Spirit Dance Company, American Spirit Grace and Liturgical Dance Company.


All the places You'll Go
After years of devotion, sacrifice and of course, loving support from family and friends, Alexandra carved out a professional career that has taken her to virtually every corner of the world. Some of her favorite places and roles include living on the beautiful island of Guam, as a Magicians Assistant and Show Girl, as well as sailing the Mediterranean Sea as a Glam Dancer and Aerialist. Perhaps one of her most treasured professional experiences was achieving her Rockette dreams while dancing in two consecutive years with "The Broadway Christmas Wonderlands" world-famous international tour held in Tokyo, Japan.
Alexandra continues to feel deeply grateful and blessed to have visited some of the most beautiful and historic places in the world, while doing what she loves. Alexandra has worked for many acclaimed Dance-Companies along with several cruise lines including Norwegian Cruise Lines, Aida Cruise Lines and most recently Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. She absolutely adores performing and can't wait to get back!
When Alexandra isn't dancing she teaches American Sign Language and Zumba to mentally-challenged adults and has another life-long dream to become an American Sign Language Interpreter. Alexandra is super quirky, and has a massive passion for life, meeting people, traveling and enjoying food. She is notorious for her "wicked" strong Boston accent, taking way too many pictures, laughing at life and eating copious amounts of peanut butter which she is convinced is the reason she has a 6 pack!

What a
Wandaful World

Just For Kicks
Whether she is living on an island in Thailand, or on a floating home out at sea, or even in a tiny apartment in New York City, she has always viewed life as a beautiful adventure. She is eternally thankful for every single person that has enriched her life and helped her along the way. Fulfilling her life- long dreams would not have been possible without the unwavering support of her family and friends along with God's constant, loving guiding hand. #yesdancer
