Destyne also known as Desie started dancing at 4.5 years old. Her earliest memory was at the age of 5, but since 7 she knew she wanted to be a dancer! She has only really travelled to Niagara Falls but has an extensive travel list Bali, Bora Bora and Cuba to name a few. Her formal dance styles include Tap, Acro, Ballet, Hip-Hop and Contemporary but her favorites are still Hip-hop and Acro. She enjoys all the aspects of competing such as the food, travelling and finding out ...if you placed in the competition! Dancing makes me feel free and you can express your emotions through certain moves. People are surprised to find out that she likes to play, tennis, basketball and cook. When she grows up she wants to be a famous Youtuber, teacher or a lawyer. When we asked her to describe herself she said #Funny, #Silly and #Interesting. What’s one thing you can’t go without?

12 year old Alexis (a.k.a. Lexi) has wanted to be a performer for most of her life. Her goals for this stomp season are to be strong, work hard on her routine and make her coach (Fire 10) proud! Her dance training includes Hip-Hop, Jazz and Urban Dance however she prefers to freestyle. When it comes to favourite styles she can’t pick just one Hip-Hop because it’s hype and cool, Jazz because it’ graceful and fun and finally Freestyling because it’s creative and challenging.... She does have a favourite dance move it’s called The Whoa! She has traveled to New York City, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and finally Niagara Falls. If she starred in her own movie it would be called Lex’s Life and her super power would be flying. When she grows up she would love to be an animator and continue living in the city she loves Toronto! If Lexi could describe herself in 3 words it would be #Shy, #Artistic and #Outgoing What’s one thing you can’t go without? Internet on Pizza? NO
