Alexandria Urias is an alumna of Ballet Yuma and now serves as the organization’s Administrative Assistant, bringing nearly three decades of dance experience and more than a decade of teaching to her work.
In 2013 she earned a prestigious scholarship to The Ailey School in New York, the official school of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, which expanded her training and led to years of teaching, performing, and choreographing across the country.
After working in cities including Charlotte, Scottsdale, and Los Angeles, Urias has returned home to Yuma where she now helps lead Ballet Yuma into its next chapter while teaching students of all ages through Yuma Ballet Academy.
She joins us to talk about her lifelong connection to Ballet Yuma, her journey through the professional dance world, and her passion for making the arts more accessible in the Yuma community.
