Welcome! My name is Alexandra Werther. I am currently an elementary school teacher in Forest Hills, New York. I work in a second grade ICT or inclusion classroom with a diverse population of students. I am also the coach for the dance team at Molloy College. Dance is my number one passion and it has been ever since I was nine years old. I started my dance career at Miss Edie's Dancin' Feet and fell in love with the art of dance immediately. Some of my favorite styles of dance are tap, hip hop, ballet, modern, and jazz. After many years of competing and performing at my studios, I joined the Molloy College Dance Team and performed at many events around campus for my four years as an undergraduate student. Now, while I really miss performing, I absolutely love coaching and choreographing for the team.
