Gods Messengers Dancer Spotlights

Alexis Smith

Alexis has been dancing for 23 years and has decided she will never stop.  Trained in ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, modern, hip hop, and ballroom, Alexis loves all styles of movement.  She graduated in 2010 from Southern Utah University with a Bachelor's Degree in Dance Performance.  Since then, she has had the wonderful opportunity to dance professionally and share her passion of movement through teaching.  Alexis recently returned from serving a mission in the Arizona Mesa Mission (the best mission ever) and cannot even describe how those 18 months have shaped the rest of her life for the better.  She is so excited to be back on God's Messengers and what makes it even better is experiencing this wonderful company with her sister, Kayla!  She would like to thank her family for their constant support and love. "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things."  Alma 26:12

1 Corinthians 2:3 "And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling."

God is good! He loves us and He is always there for us. I testify that if we put God first and put the hard work in, we will be blessed beyond our imaginations.
