Owners & Event Hosts
Alexi is a student of human nature, and most interested in the unspoken rules of how people behave around each other. She designs events that work with the way people actually work, so that talking to a stranger takes less nerve than it usually does.
She founded her first social club in Los Angeles in 2015 and has hosted well over a hundred events since. What she is after in all of it is the same thing: genuine connection, and people leaving in a better mood than they arrived in.
She has been social dancing since she was fourteen and teaching professionally since 2016, studying under Natalia Lind, Michael Kuka, Mireille Gineste and Diane Jarmolow among others. She knows more than twenty social dance styles, performs as well as teaches, and has taught thousands of people. Beginners are her favourite, and the moment somebody works out they can do it after all.
My world has always revolved around one thing: making real connections. Building teamwork at Southwest Airlines, mentoring leaders at Ericsson, and now running DFW Young & Social. What drives me is helping people grow, belong, and find some joy together.
My values come from experience rather than theory. I learned by watching cause and effect: lies break trust, kindness eases pain, selfishness narrows a life, and shared joy makes it richer. The compass is simple. Reduce harm, create joy, look after the people I can reach. That holds whether I am cooking for friends, making films, getting lost in anime, or playing Taylor Swift far too loudly.
If you are here, you are welcome. Come for a meal, a dance, or a conversation that makes the day lighter. We get one life, and I would rather spend it building something with other people than standing still.
