Elexus Freeman- Filmore has been a dancer for over 15 years and a teacher for just under 4 years old. Elexus started her career at Philadanco and moved on to Philadelphia Dance Theater when she decided to take her dance career more seriously. PDT granted her amazing opportunities such as summer programs with Alvin Ailey, Vineland Regional Dance Co. and The Rock School of Dance. Elexus was even involved with Regional Dance America, which took the performance company as far as Montreal Canada. Once graduating from high school and leaving PDT she knew she still wanted to dance. Embarking on the college experience Elexus joined Hampton University’s band dance team where she was able to perform, all 4 years during basketball and football seasons while never missing a game. Post graduation joining the American Football League within the Soulmates of Philadelphia, she was challenged with pom style dancing. Today, although she has hung her pointe shoes and poms on the shelf, Elexus teaches with Chocolate Ballerina Co. and two other studios in Pennsylvania. Assisting with the production of Philadelphia Youth Dance Fest, a yearly festival that brings together companies from all across the US, is another hidden talent of hers. Dance is a huge part of her life and always will be. Reaching out to young dancers, helping them unlock their potential, and being a mentor are just a few reasons why Elexus will never stop teaching and being involved with the dance world!
