Mikaela is endlessly grateful for all the opportunities she has had teaching, performing, and learning.

At a young age I was put in front of a piano. It took a long time to feel comfortable and sometimes I still feel novice. I enjoy the study of various subjects and how they relate with a consistent focus in music as a cultural phenomenon. I find value in knowing why we make and listen to the music.Collaboration is something I seek, working directly with musicians and artist so that we may learn from each other.Aside from making music you can probably find me cooking in the kitchen or challenging my body and mind through parkour.

Raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Alexandra’s main training took place at the S.C. Governor’s School for Arts and Humanities in Greenville, SC. After graduating high school, she continued her training and graduated from New World School of the Arts/University of Florida in Miami, Florida with a BFA in Dance and Performing Arts. At New World she performed works choreographed by Paul Taylor, Peter London, Mark Morris, Merce Cunningham, and Ohad Naharin. She recently moved to New York City and has been training/performing with Rioult Dance NY’s newly founded Repertory Training Group as well as Mika & Co.
